IVANAHelsinki S/S 2011

September 22, 2010

The finale to New York Fashion week was Finnish fashion label IVANAhelsinki. This is the first time that designer Paola Ivana Suhonen has shown her line at NY fashion week. The theme of the show was “Where the f*ck is my sailor” so it’s no surprise that a nautical theme would follow. IVANAhelsinki showcased lots of cotton mini dresses with anchors, sailors ropes and stripes.

This was my first time sitting front row so I decided to capture some video. Take a look!

The brand was originally conceived to be an art project so it’s no surprise that all prints are unique and original, designed by Paoloa Ivava Suhonen. This was certainly a breath of fresh air from all of the neutral tones that we’ve seen walk down the runway at fashion week. There was a keen attention to detail with hand printed dresses, rope embroidery and bold prints.

September 17, 2010

It was all about the mini dress at BCBGMAXAZRIA S/S 2011 RTW show. BCBG was among the many designers to work the runway with the Spring neutral trend. The collection was chic and effortless glamour in shades of cream, charcoal and black with a few pops of vibrant canary, orange and red.

The neutral trend was given a Spring update with chic and effortless silhouettes. The dresses were white hot in crepe and silk with delicate chiffon details. Each dress was paired with white or python sandals.

Farah Angsana

Indonesian designer Farah Angsana did not disappoint with her S/S 2011 Ready-to-wear collection! She was the first show that I attended on Day 1 of Fashion week and I really loved her collection. Farah’s Ready To Wear collection ranged from embellished micro mini dresses to cascading crystal embellished gowns to tribal prints. Farah’s attention to detail stands out and her collection showed her range as a designer. Farah showcased not only simple print dresses but also elegant eye catching red carpet gowns.
