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.

Style Trends: Crafty Necklaces

The combination of the holidays and a busy time at work have diminished my interest in fashion to almost none. This happens every so often and when I get into these fashion funks I find myself drawn to the more crafty, DIY side of fashion. One crafty trend I’ve spotted for spring that has peaked my fashion interest is, as Who What Wear calls it, the bib necklace. These crafty necklaces have been spotted in various places throughout the web from the avante-garde fashion photography of Todd Norwood at Calikartel (above top), to Anna Kathrin Rohr’s Copy of an Imitation collection (above bottom left), to the Spring 2009 runway at Marc by Marc Jacobs (above bottom right).

These photos have inspired me to create my own crafty bib necklaces, however, if you find yourself lacking in the DIY department, head over to the Necklush store on Supermarket. Pictured below are just a couple examples of the “necklushes” they have for sale. “These free-form loops are multifunctional too, you can use your Necklush as a necklace or scarf or possibly a headband. Most of the necklushes are cut cotton jersey material, and a few are with poly. We screenprint designs on to our necklushes, making the multicolored ones very limited!”
