I'm no fashionista, but I do enjoy the livelihood of the city when Mercedes Benz Fashion Week comes around. You can't look at one newspaper, local magazine, or newscast that doesn't mention the fabulousness of this event. World renown designers come together to display the trends and looks for Spring 2009. I can't discuss Fashion Week without mentioning the presence of every major movie, television, music, star! Kanye West and the Olsen twins at Marc Jacobs, Ivana Trump and Vanessa Williams at Carolina Herrera, Lindsay and Samantha at Charlotte Ronson (Sam's sis), Oympian Nastia Liukin at MaxAzria..... and sooo many more. It was a celeb-stalkers dream!
These 15 minute shows determine all you will see in the stores this coming Spring. With so many designers, it is amazing to see everyone's own distinct taste and interpretation of upcoming fashion. My personal favorite was Marc Jacobs (who also happens to be my fav designer in general). Although he can be costumey and very over-the-top with not only his runway design, but his ready-to-wear line also, he never ceases to lack true creativity. His theme was, as style.com described, "Mary Poppins meets Dubai". What does that mean? Mary Poppin-type hats, skirts bustled below the knees, colorful and intricate prints, mixing prints in the most interesting ways, thick belts, and so much more! Looovee it!
