#NYFW Abstract Emotions with Son Jung Wan Fall 2014

Son Jung Wan Unveiled Fall 2014 Collection

Son Jung Wan’s collection was a mix of cold arctic blue, rich admirable gold, luxurious mid-tone gray, and traditional graceful Ivory. Inspired by abstract expressionist Mark Rothko’s emotional work, Wan wanted to provoke a bevy of emotions with her latest collection. She incorporated Rothko’s blurred color boundaries with unfinished edges and mixed several materials, colorful furs, and metallic details.

The collection started with a take on winter whites with cream-colored cashmere jackets, jumpsuits, coats, and mesh sleeved dresses presented. The story soon unfolded to showcase Wan’s multi-colored furs, which certainly captivated the crowd. A male model walked in a burgundy wool knit sweater with fox neck warmer and sepia pants to the delight of the editor seated next to me. Wan also added a multi-sequined dress with leather waist detail to her line up. The show concluded with a multi-colored fox fur coat over a silk dress.

#NYFW Oversized Outerwear at Zimmermann Fall 2014

New York Fashion Week Preview Of Zimmermann Fall 2014

Inspired by subcultures of the 1950s such as The Teddy Girls, Beatniks, and Sharpies, Zimmermann’s latest collection, Cloud Stompers, balances the line between innocent and defiant. With oversized coats, check prints, and lace, the collection rocks an “Edwardian Dandy meets American Rock-ability” look.

Models strut around the Pavilion with leather bows tied around their necks and hair slick backed and twisted. Most impressive in this collection was the menswear inspired suits and swirling peek-a-boo seams. Also important to note was the lace bodices and black and cream cage skirts.

While the collection lacked the soft airiness of Zimmermann’s previous work, the structured pieces and heavy Keltie handbags were offset by a few softer looks including a bubble knit and a knit mini dress in soft Haze. A lace off-the-shoulder jumpsuit reminded us of days of yore, while several of the racy seams would fit right in on the red carpet at last year’s punk-themed Met Gala.

New York Fashion Week: Cynthia Rowley Fall 2014

The designer celebrated her collection at the Diamond Horseshoe, a vaudeville wonder that flourished in Times Square’s theater district in the late 1930s to the early 50’s. The venue recently reopened after being shuttered for over 60 years and was the perfect setting for the presentation with its Old World charm.

The collection was described as sporty glamorous, encompassing a moonbow motif throughout the assortment. Pants were cropped one featured in leather culottes while tops were embellished with stain leaf appliqués- beautiful.
