New York Fashion Week S/S 08 was quite abit of a disappointment, which explains the dearth of posts here about any shows so far.
Stand-outs for me were Anna Sui, and Marc by Marc Jacobs. And of course, I'm always a fan of Erin Fetherston, Monique Lhuillier, and Vera Wang among others. Still...nothing really made me sit up and do a double-take except for Marc and Sui.
But London Fashion Week is another matter. Peter Jenson's and Louise Goldin's shows really caught my eye with their bursts of colour and the incredible styling for every look.

These 2 looks above from Peter Jenson show that you can mix a dozen of colours together so long as you do it right - with a keen eye and lots of flair. I'm loving the colour block sweater and periwinkle shoes on her and the mustard cardigan and cyan socks on him!
These dresses by Louise Goldin are a breath of fresh air. That elaborate construction of the dress on the left really stands out, and with that killer colour scheme, it's a sure knock-out. But dress on right is really eye-catching too with its simple lines and shapes.
I'm no athlete but these athletic-inspired looks are lookin pretty damn good to me. All knitted no less. Goldin's mission to 'push knitwear to a future vision' is certainly well on its way here.
And...some cool, breezy looks from Marc by Marc Jacobs I most certainly wouldn't mind sporting. The vibrancy in these entire outfits is great!
Notice how the colours pick up on each other from the hat to the trimming on the cardi to the bag to the shoes in the last look! And yet it doesn't look staid because of the brilliant plaid dress! (ok i'm getting carried away here...) Same goes for the other two looks.
Now who said it's old-fashioned to match your bag and your shoes? Match them all I'd say!
