NY Fashion Week: Here Goes...

The crowds have descended on Lincoln Center, and an area normally populated by Julliard students, the elderly, and tourists is now overrun with everyone in the fashion world (well, unless they are at Milk Studios). Despite being a mere 20 blocks away, haven't seen the tent and I probably won't, but get ready for more images and short recaps than you can possibly handle.

One of the first collections posted to Style.com is Willow. The Australian designer showed some great pieces with plenty of great prints and clever cut-outs. Plus--paillettes! I'm not the world's biggest fan of the gladiator shoes, but I can look past that and just enjoy these two amazing dresses.

Lyn Devon created a wonderful and polished collection of wearable pieces for spring. This yellow look is one of the driving forces in my goal of putting together the right monochromatic outfit. Done right it is so chic. Done wrong and you look like an idiot. There is a very thin line between the two.

While I'm not completely on board with the excessive layers of sheer fabric (jacket over dress over shirt over pants over pants? what?), there were aspects of the Richard Chai Love collection that I, well, loved. I'm all about flowing neutrals. This all looks really comfortable. And completely unaffordable. Hooray for fashion.
