Fashion Week - nearly over, but not without a bang!

I hope everyone is enjoying Fashion Week. A event that only graces us with its presents twice a year. Here is a overview of the collections for Fall 2009:

Barbie by David Dixon
David Dixon approached this design challenge with the idea that any women can be Barbie, as long as she's wearing hot pink of course. The models were diversified yet unified in pink and black Barbie heels, now available at Town Shoes. Outerwear played a role in the collection with pink and black houndstooth jackets. Oh and Barbie is a little punk now. Because it's 2009, she wears streetwear to accentuate her evening wear with black armwarmers and floppy hats. Prints were key with black and white florals and graphics, zebra print and a hint of plaid. Three showstopping garments concluded the show with textured folds of fabric flowing down the length of the jacket/gowns.

Working over time, David Dixon managed to also release his signature collection to extremely chic reviews. High necklines on elegant gowns, almost feather-like detailing and clean lines defined the modern yet very wearable collection, besides one misguided jumpsuit. Long sleeve gloves garnished almost every look. The collection will be favoured by today's woman--powerful-flattering-fashionable without trying too hard.

Joeffer Caoc
One of his best collections. Joeffer Caoc is a staple at fashion week, but I always wrote him off as a designer for the more mature crowd. This collection is anything but. From the futuristic, shiny leather-like fabric to the matching knee-highs, it's modern and fresh. He stayed on top of the high in-demand trends such as sheers. I particularly like the form fitting sheer tops with voluminous shoulders (not like the 80s, more like a built-in shrug.) Beautiful!

More to come...
