New York Fashion Week F/W 2010: Matthew Ames
Posted in: Uncategorized  | One of the most underrated shows of New York Fashion Week was that of 2009 Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award Winner, Matthew Ames. In the show notes, the collection aimed to define “proportion, line, shape, and form in its purest expression.” The collection focused on the basic essentials for women like jackets, pants, and shirts. A refreshing change from all the sequins and embellishments I’ve seen all week, the clothes were about impeccable tailoring and construction. Standouts were the varied selections of outerwear. A long camel cashmere quilted coat wrapped around the model like a cocoon and a hooded leather jacket looked and moved as if they were made from lighter material. The androgynous collection included male models and sometimes I almost couldn’t tell the difference between the men and women. Definitely for the intellectual fashion lover, Brooklyn based Matthew Ames is one to watch for seasons to come. Take a look at my slideshow to see more!
