New York Fashion Week 09

We style trendsetters are more often than not a highlight of the week. This season, I am really enjoying this incredibly ‘futuristic’ slash ‘Blade Runner’ edge that I’m seeing at this collection. I am not too sure what is inspiring designers these days. But we are for sure finally seeing us going technotronic in our clothing.

With high heel leather boots that straddle up the thigh, to amazing graphic designs on the very sleek dresses. the collection featured strong leather jackets and incredible knitwear - this season more maximal than the last. And back to those ‘thigh high boots’ brought their hip-high strappy boots to complement our ’star treking’ days ahead. Which I dare to say - will be quite wearable as 2009 spins into fall fashion.

At this moment we boast to go ‘Haute Couture’ with a portrayal of sculptured designs. And of course a lot of fashion composition and flare.

But what are we seeing here? Fun 80’s fashion being revived? With a touch of color desperation? But wait a minute. Those colors do fair well, and bravo Marc for going all the way. I am enjoying the combinations of crushed purples, mixed with greens. Or those very bold gold and yellow numbers. This collection is bright and electric. And really what more do we expect from Marc? Then these over the top and daring designs. He really has never played it safe. But with such international recognition in the fashion world, we just could not over look this playful jester’s world.
