NYC - Fashion Week day 3

By Katie Wright

Remember that flashy catwalk action I mentioned? Well check out Jason Wu’s spectacular disco deluxe set. That was just for starters in a collection that was all about the details. The make up was exquisite (porcelain skin and ruby lips), the shoes magnificent (platforms in a ton of colour variations) and the clothes were a big old mix up – flirty skirts, pant suits, stripes, abstract prints, swirly graphics on cocktail dresses, feathers with clashing ribbon belts – and all divine. No wonder one of my style icons, Michelle Obama, is such a fan. I think she’d love the black and white number below.


The other stand out show of the day for me was Preen. There was serious sex appeal in dresses that were more like lingerie, with straps so fine they look like they could snap at the slightest pull, or on the other hand like they’d been knotted in place. It was all kind of kinky.


Erin Wasson’s second outing as super-turned-designer was pretty predictable, but fine if you just want to dress like her. There was a quite nifty holey/spotty theme going on, and brown ankle boots + white socks is an idea I intend to steal, but what the hell is up with that chevron striped skirt??
