So this year's New York Fashion Week had the critics talking up a storm! Normally, compared to other shows, New York is often the "safe city" and generally keeps things relatively moderate. This year, however, many designers branched out of their normal dimensions and tried out new ideas. My two favorite shows are the Donna Karan and Zac Posen RTW Spring 09 shows.
The Donna Karan Collection was one that I found particularly interesting and feminine. She really played around with the draping of materials, usually her signature jersey, and the effect turned out rather nice. The picture I included on the top right is from the show and features one of the looks offered by Donna Karan.

The other designer's show that I really liked was Zac Posen's Collection. It was also super-feminine with great curvy and short looks. I also liked his color palette that he chose to work with this season: mostly pinks and pale greens, with a few subtle patterns thrown into the mix. According to WWD Staff from the WWD.com website, "the approach had a charming siren-meets-schoolgirl vibe", which i completely agree with. The collection is feminine and soft, yet still sexy and strong.
The image to the left is from www.style.com and actually is a picture of my favorite dress from his collection. I am a huge fan of animal print, and I like how Zac Posen chose subtle colors to make the dress out of. I also love the draping of the fabric and the overall shape of the dress!Below I also included two links to both of the deigner's shows, which are found through the wwd.com website.
