NYC - Fashion Week day 2

NYC Day 2 - All of the Fashion fun in NYC by Katie Wright


It's NYFW day two, and Jenni Kayne appeals to my love of a bumble bee colour palette…

...as well as perfectly proving the equation: boxy boyish blazer + super short sequins = gorgeousness. The collection is a bit skinny bodycon here, a bit preppy sportswear there, and altogether a bit covetable.



Ports 1961 also played on the androgyny theme, putting quiffs and choir boy bobs atop models sporting a collection that was feminine and luxe in the extreme. A slew of floaty sack dresses in pastel pink, ivory and scarlet were given so many different twists (asymmetrical shoulders, Grecian drapery, sash belts) that it was hard to pick a favourite.

And the award for most unfortunate model of the day goes to look no. 10 at Wayne, where the frayed edging of a jacket made it look like the poor girl is having lady garden issues. Eek. That wasn’t the only briefs and jacket combo I’ve seen so far - I predict Lady Gaga’s influence is gonna be seen all over the shop in the coming weeks.
