Event: New York Fashion Week Fall 2010

Show: Alexander Wang fall 2010

Kicking of N.Y.C fall 2010 fashion week with a ‘bang!’ (A-dang-dang!) was Alexander Wang.  With a collection inspired by the tall suits (and tall, tall surroundings) of Wall Street. The collection saw a wash of cropped blazers, tailcoats, vests and ‘ribbed thigh high leg warmers’  (for an injection of the ‘modern Wang’ into the corporate mix!)

The colour way of choice spanned the entire ‘camel’ spectrum; from, beigey & caramels to honey & peachy hues while stronger shades of slate, grey and black were thrown in to sharpen the sophisticated palette.  Not adverse to a lil’ ‘chenille’ and velvet here and there (ooo takes me back to my 90’s high school days of the ‘crushed’ purple grunge variety!), this latest collection provided a welcome ‘classiness’ (of the ‘non’-conservative kind) to the office suit!

Hair and makeup-wise the brief was simple yet impactfull.  Influenced by an ‘early 90’s’ Kate moss (all glowing, fresh, polished gorgeouseness..With a big ol touch of innocent wide-eyed sexiness) Makeup Director Dianne Kendall worked her magic behind the scenes as she headed the international M.A.C makeup team.  Some may say Reminiscent of the falling autumn leaves, Eyes were awash with shades of burnt sienna and bronze providing the perfect level of ‘oh I just threw this together’ sexiness.  The eyes were the hero of the piece, leaving the rest of the face bare and natural, but offcourse: never without now standard: ‘beautiful, natural glow’.

Oh N.Y N.Y ..So chic, so sexy..So fabulous!

Til next time dear tangentines…

Bisous!
