SUNO FALL 2011 RTW, FTW

I know that this collection really has been making the internet rounds, but I couldn’t resist posting images from one of my favorite Fall 2011 collections. So many stunning textures, patterns, shapes, and colors at Suno this season — the SPECTACULAR nubby sweater-esque outerwear and towering, sturdy platforms, the dusty silk flowers and conservative, boxy dress cuts and narrow trousers…. I rarely gravitate towards the mustier palette of mustard/grey/brown/slate blue, but I want it all. It was a challenge not to post every single look from this collection, it’s that good. Your move, everyone else.

FUTURE PERFECT

The most perfect color palette from NYFW that I’ve seen thus far. Drug rug skirt?? Plus, pockets!

I WAS BORN TO BE FLY

Proenza Schouler’s Fall 2010 RTW show was brilliant in so many ways. (Including, but not limited to, the playing of Excepter during the show itself).  In particular, these pants from the beginning of the show gave me pause. Obviously I adore them. They really reminded me of one of my favorite Mociun textiles ever, from one of my favorite Mociun collections ever, Fall 2008 RTW, called “Naming Ceremony.” You know, THIS print:

I have that first dress, and I wear it regularly to the beach and to weddings. I wear it dancing and I wear it in hotel rooms, and it is VERY short.

But enough about me. The P.S. line was genius, Mociun is genius. In terms of the P.S. show, I covet all of their incredible prints, but mostly I loved the furs. If loving these jewel-colored dyed furs is wrong, then I don’t want to be right. It was the best interpretation of fall wear I’ve seen yet.

The best part of the show, however, were the sheer black thigh highs that revealed an inch or two of skin underneath the pleated minidresses. I am passionately in love (you know how I feel about thigh highs) and will be replicating this insanely sexy look ASAP.

As usual, Kim Gordon attended a bunch of NYFW shows but I thought she looked especially stunning at this show. KIM GO ON WITH YOUR BAD SELF

FALL 2010 RTW: BEST OF THE BEST THUS FAR

My favorites of 2010 fall collections thus far.

Unbelievable perfection at Karen Walker. The socks, textiles, shoes and styling – that jewelry looks like this jewelry! Could it be…?

One of Karen’s best collections yet.

The perfect party skirt at DVF.

The perfect blues and plaids at A Detacher.

The perfect 90s hair at Alexander Wang.

70s-era Joan Didion chic at Boy by Band of Outsiders. Need that fur-collared jacket. (Plus saddle shoes!)

Beautiful, simple sportswear at Shipley & Halmos.

I’ve only ever looked at VPL’s lingerie and bikinis but these are great. Love the muted and metallic olive green palette, so rich and decadent for fall.

The second look by Vena Cava is probably my favorite look of the entire season thus far. The styling, the hem lines, that leather jacket with fur collar which I would trade all earthly possessions to own for one day. I know it’s gauche to be into the fur but this is bizarre, art deco decadence done so right.

Of course, I had to save my favorite designer for last. I almost always prefer Rachel Comey’s spring collections to her fall collections, but this is so light and fresh regardless. My obsession for imaginative textiles are made manifest in these insane printed pants she put out.

Printed pants!!!!!!!!!

Printed!!!!! Pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Classic Rachel Comey. Twinsets in electric blue, skirts that look like woven baskets. Wanna see that fabric up close. Don’t even get me started on fall’s collection of shoes.

I love the longer hemline on this F Scott Fitzgerald worthy dress although this won’t work on 99% of the population, including me. The print reminds me of my mother’s china.

Cropped velvet pants and dip dyed blouses with black lace overlay. Feels so different from the typical RC insouciance and yet, one of the best looks ever. So wearable too, gotta find those pants…
