Oh, Derek. NYFW just got a WHOLE lot more interesting. The past few seasons, we have seen a lot of military looks (think trench, peplum jackets, riding pants) from Lam. The shapes have been consistent, almost staples for the house, until this past Sunday. Lam went outside his comfort zone and presented very modern, yet wearable luxury shapes.
The first look was a fitted light blue wool jacket paired with a longer skirt. Light blue and pops of red filled the runway between more neutral looks.
One of the most profound looks, was Look 11. Lam paired a wool or cashmere striped cape (it appeared to have a leather trim) that was longer in the back. The cape was worn over a long sage green asymmetrical turtleneck that could be cinched at the hem. These pieces were paired over the leather legging, a similar shape as his riding pant staple.
The show was cohesive and true to Lam. It's inspiring to think what's to come from Lam in the seasons ahead!
Donna Karan
After showing a divine Spring/Summer collection, marking the 25th anniversary of her label, Karan kept true to form in celebrating...the woman. Shades of pearl grey, ice blue, charcoal, and sage filled the runway. As seen through many shows (not just Karan's) last season, hemlines are coming down. Skirts and dresses from the waist down were form fitted. Sleek tops, coats, and silk scarves gave a more sensual look. Karan used plenty of wool jersey, silks, and fox fur in her looks.
