New York Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week - Fall 2011

I don't want to fall behind, so I am posting a quick post as a summary of the first day.


As usual, we can expect lots of black, and different grays in the pallete for fall, but what was surprising were the pops of orange, red, and blues. I have to say that I am not so much into grunge this season, so I was very subjective and picked all the womanly pieces. Expect high wasted belted wide legged pants, which I can not wear without heels, and they are just better for the daily chic. However, that doesn't stop me from admiring the long legged beauties that can pull them off.

W Hotels Global Glam Fall 2011 - New York Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

I don't have a degree in fashion, nor have I ever claimed to have one. I am purely an observer of a beautiful art that fascinates me. I follow my heart and write about a trend, an image, a vision that captures my attention and inspires me in an instant. I often make a judgment about a month's work of a designer in just under a second. It is very unfair but never the less, a reality of our fast paced, attention grabbing society. I offer you my thoughts, inspirations and judgments...of a purely subjective nature.


I had a great opportunity of attending the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week for the W Hotels Global Glam Fall 2011 Presentation of designers Eugenia Kim, Mara Hoffman, Twinkle by Wenlan, Clare Vivier, Deepa Gurnani, Noir, Paola Hernandez, I-Luck, Myne, Posse, Shaesby, Sibilia, Catherine Nicole, Yarnz, and Contego Eyewear.


It was an amazing space, with ridiculously delicious cocktails, a very fashionable quirky crowd and of course, great designs. I feel in love with two pairs of shoes which you can see bellow. I have to thank my dear friend Maya for having the opportunity to see this presentation. 


I always think that I need to buy a professional camera and capture the moments in a much different light, but my poor little camera's pictures will have to do for now.
