New York Fashion Week Fever

Opening Ceremony really took me by surprise this season by taking me to a futuristic discotéca-meets-Total Recall (the original;  discluding three breasted species).  The fashion show set design displayed alien-like space pods and a neon-colored runway that gave me a great escape while seeing designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim perspectives for the upcoming Winter season.  Each look was sexy yet conservative; the first look shown consisted of a black jacket with detailed lights shimmering from collar to bottom; the black looks were anything but boring.  There were bright prints splashed on long cardigans, knee-length skirts and the monochromatic pink looks put a smile on my face.  The thigh-high leather and suede boots were the show stopper, not to mention the sleek, pointed toe booties paired with trousers.  Below are my favorite looks from the show.  Congratulations Opening Ceremony!

Alexander Wang  My fellow Bay Area bred friend-in-my-head designer Alexander Wang brought his A-game once again this season.  His presentation was described as My fellow Bay Area bred friend-in-my-head designer Alexander Wang brought his A-game once again this season.  His presentation was described as fashion that “Deliberately opposes standard definitions of beauty and taste”  yet each look was reminiscent of the earlier A. Wang days where he embodied grungy, witty, gritty, tough yet beautiful steelo that is metaphorically comparable to an Oakland-San Francisco upbringing. I see you A. Wang, I see you!
