Style: Fall 2010 New York

Maybe it’s my slightly more “glass half empty” attitude as of late (damn snow), but New York fashion week has left me feeling slightly underwhelmed. My own personal fashion attitude has been taking me to understated, yet luxurious places – maxi dresses, flowing pants, wraps, shawls, hats, prints – while New York seems to have run the other direction. The Fall 2010 collections were inundated with darkness, overstyling, and in my opinion, a little trash – crop tops, cut outs, sheer and velvet in all the wrong places. And although I’ve agreed with most of the choices young it-boy Alexander Wang has made up till now, I would have to say his Fall 2010 collection is the epitome of my fashion hate.

But through the mess of forced dramatization, I have managed to pull out the three collections I feel hit it right on the mark.
