Vera Wang S/S 2012 -Sweet Sinner






Gotta be fair to her that Vera Wang is underestmated for her ready to wear collection. Since, everyone is still attached with her wedding moment. However, she proves so hard previously and still to show her magnificent style and technique that no one can pull her away. But this collection might be shiny since she emerge her brighter side on her selection on color scheme that lively and approachable. The layer of fabric was amazing and her funky attitude was highlighted in positive way. I like her pink scene. It reminded me a little of Balenciaga pink pale tone.

Rodarte S/S 2012 - Sleeping beauty with smokey eyes






I really found myself enjoy the show even though the color scheme and shape are quite weird from the trend but , hello, it's Rodarte. This collection is still consistency to her positiong of feminity with deep dark side in her mind. That's why lots of young hollywood star would like to attach with Rodarte to show that they have guts with her pretty face! Ultimately, i think Laura Mulleavy's works remind me of Dior of John Galliano last 5 years. I think LVMH should count her in the lists of successor.

Narciso Rodriguez S/S 2012 - future is here!






OMG, i was quite shocked when i saw this collection. Where is my tight-formal dress. It turned my head to the floor with tears of happiness. I've gotta say i never expect to see a whole bunch of tremendous futuristic-fluid dress combined with sharp tailoring pieces and subtle palette of fabric that catch my eyes so much. Love Love Love

Marchesa S/S 2012 - What a wonderful world





What will you expect when u saw models were walking down the way instead of standing on podiums nicely? Firstly, Karen Elson walked down first with swingy beaded fringe dress. It said a million words of what you were going to see. Of course, you knew you won't see any ordinary things but beautiful here. It was a breathe-taking moment,absolutely fantastic time. Hope you enjoy them.

Preen S/S 2012 - Sweet Virginia Woolf





I am a big fan if brit-old school duo Thea Bregazzi and Justin Thornton. I found they are so edgy but also feminine. This collection is so sweet and graceful. I think the shape and length made the looks a little bit older but nice. The way they layer and construct the prints are relevant and complete. This collection is outstanding from other in NYFW and i've heard that both models and buyer really adored this collection.

Marc by Marc Jacobs - Bright young things




Compared to past collections, there was more color and construction here, highlighted by show notes that referred to architectural-art way stations like Bauhaus, Charles Eames, and Donald Judd's Marfa. The references might have been scattergun, but if that's what the designer was offering us, it was only respectful to pay attention. And, fortunately, Jacobs always seems to reward it, with—this time—sensational footwear, to boot.

Donna Karan S/S 2012 - Tribal "Haiti"





It's not the first time that Donna Karan go tribal but this time is fresh and energetic.The collection may have its roots elsewhere—the bold brushstroke prints were inspired by the work of the Haitian artist Philippe Dodar—but it's still totally, characteristically urban. Orange is still a favorite shade for this city. At least, i'm feeling good that my orange still going on and on for the third season.

Zac Posen S/S 2012 - Anglo couture






The designer famously left his hometown for the City of Light a year ago, declaring, in so many words, that a Paris audience would understand his clothes better. I think it's truely statement for his works. It turned out that his skill on fitting and cutting are so precious. It seem like his showing couture with respectful piece, even though, the shape and design are still so Zac but his finishing is beyone.

Victoria Beckham - S/S 2012 - establishing the empire





Who could deny how sexy of hourglass dress from her previous hit dress. However, this collection stood out with not only her signature, but also her new fresh shape that loosen her tight-hale breath form. I think her color scheme is also her weapon. The palette was chic and classic like her personality. it's a good collection if you still remind what she wore when she was "Spice Girls"

Thakoon S/S 2012 - Bollywood Boldness






I've gotta admit that i almost fainted when i saw Thakoon's first look. I can't get it. However, from 2nd to last, he made me feel like this show was in Paris. The shape, the fabric, the color were so sophisticated and beyond ordinary NYC. The print somehow didn't state what exactly the inspiration came from but the answer was clearly reveal when the last group of dress came out with one sholder shawl that derived from Indian costume. This collection is eminent and majestic.

Derek Lam S/S 2012 - Apple of NYC




I love the way Derek Lam shown his design stand point. At least i finally found that i could seperate his collection to gazillion collection in NYC. I found him deliver a strong message to his clients with sharp modern tailoring with nicely vivid color, even though, we already saw this palette since Paris F/W 2011-2. However, this collection is precious for the city of apple.

Helmut Lang S/S 2012 - the protege , really?





Five years into their career at Helmut Lang, Nicole and Michael Colovos put their collection on the runway for the first time. The entire collection look fine and edgy.It is same standard of what Authentic Helmut Lang did last 10 years. However, i felt the Helmut Lang will not do something like this now. I might expect too much from them but It's HELMUT LANG.

Alexander Wang S/S 12 - How could he create such a super-sexy athletic




He never fail to deliver the super-uber sexy.This time he brought the sporty blend to his darker side of NYC wall. The collection might be reminded to previous NY collections in past 5-7 years ago but his accent brought a whole new attitude. Who can deny that, I won't. Love Love.
