New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Milly

imageThe Milly Spring/Summer 2010 “Punk Meets Prep” collection was high on my list of Fashion Week favorites. This season, designer Michelle Smith mostly abandoned her signature bright shades and bold prints and opted for a palette primarily of black and ecru with the occasional pop of color. The collection stayed true to Milly’s signature femme aesthetic but the sweetness was offset by an edgy, punk-rock sensibility. Floaty silhouettes were toughened up with studs, embellishments, and layered jewelry (all from Milly’s new jewelry collection). There were plenty of signature Milly staples — mini shifts, elbow-sleeve coats, delicate blouses, metallic jacquard — but the rich shades and sexy shapes infused these classics with a fabulous edge and radiated a stronger sense of bold confidence. Some of my absolute favorites included all of the hand-beaded knit sweaters and tops, a strapless metallic jacquard corset mini dress, and a black silk gauze trapeze dress (I will definitely be snagging that one the second it hits the racks!). From uptown prep to downtown punk and everything in between, this collection was full of must-have pieces that are both modern and timeless — take a look at the slideshow to check them out!

Clown Portraits

Coup de coeur pour cette belle série de clichés réalisée par le studio canadien Varial, et qui s’articule autour de l’univers des clowns de cirque. L’artiste utilise des maquillages colorés, graphiques et expressifs qui s’opposent à la simplicité des portraits en noir et blanc.

Which Front-Row Fashionista Looked The Fiercest At Fashion Week?

imageEven from just a cursory flip-through of Fashion Week photos, it’s easy to tell which stylish starlets just can’t stay away from the Bryant Park tents. After all, when every dress, purse, and sequin you’ve ever worn is documented by the press, it’s easy to get addicted to front-row views of your next big-night red carpet ensembles. Certain celebs like Jessica Alba and Alicia Keys took breaks from their busy schedules to pop into designer favorites like Narciso Rodriguez and Giorgio Armani, while other fashion-infatuated gals like Jessica Stroup and Rachel Bilson flocked tirelessly to as many runways as they could handle, from Vivienne Tam to Brian Reyes. And whether you’re a celebrity, designer, model, writer, or shopaholic, there’s no pressure to look your best like there is at New York Fashion Week! Vote below on which star had the most polished runway-gazing look. Photo Credit: Getty Images for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
