NYFW SS10 Day Four

Diane von Furstenberg

DVF's collection was a breath of fresh air from the play-it-safe designs overcrowding the runway these past few days. Brightly saturated jungle prints and tribal designs came in the form of relaxed dresses along with a few goddless-like mesh drapes. Models were adorned with clusters of golden leaves and together with their crimped hair gave off a fierce, unkept aura. The sharp hues and daring prints really made this show stand out from the crowd.

Derek Lam

Derek flaunted a colourful collection mixing pastels with brights, solids with prints and a scattering of stars and florals. Style varied as much as hue with structured skirts, high-waisted bottoms and loose-fitting dresses. I especially love the caramel suede+brilliant cerulean blue combination. The colour contrast is so striking!

DKNY


DKNY showcased a blossom of florals, girly pink hues and neutrals perfectly reminiscent of spring. Bike shorts peeped out from under shorts and dresses alike and the standard suit got a major re-working with variations on suit jacket+short options, cuffed relaxed pants and jacket length. The dizzying array of floral patterns ranged from petite buds to artfully blended flower prints to roughly scrawled blooms. Make an effort to stop and smell the roses this season!

Herve Leger

Ah, the much coveted Herve Leger! The classic body-con bondage dress was upgraded and re-vamped and Max experimented with a few different fabrics including denim, silk and sequins. The resulting dresses provided pieces perfect for both day and night. Max strayed from the skin-tight mini for a few dresses with perky skirts and cut-out one-pieces.
