BCBG Max Azria Fall 2010

For Fall/Winter 2010, BCBGMAXAZRIA presented a sophisticated and feminine collection. Neutral tones were the dominating color in this season’s palette. Colorblocked with vibrant touches of yellow and blue, together with classic shades of black, grey and navy, they created clean geometric silhouettes. Leather piping and trimming details added to the geometric aesthetic. Prints were simple and graphic inspired in muted colors. Embellishments were also minimal. Some sequins and studs appeared to be painted on in brush strokes onto cropped tops and dresses. The main theme was the asymmetrical draping of flowing silk dresses and tops which were then layered and/or belted in almost every look. This collection is for a modern urban woman with a refined yet effortless style.

Alexander Berardi Spring 2010

alexander_berardi_titleNew York native Alexander Berardi gave us a “happy take on 2010”. Designs were delicate, feminine, and elegant, created for a very specific type of woman. Tiered ruffles, sexy sequin dresses and loose drapery were Upper East Side flirty. A key piece was the tuxedo inspired blazers for evening. A bright orange dress and a pink and orange floral print add a flash of color to the neutral collection. There was a sophisticated sailor influence with the navy hats and details like pleating, piping and gold buttons. A collection fit for a strong, classy Manhattanite.

Argentine Designer Collections Spring 2010


Designers Cardon, Min Agostini, Eufemia, Benito Fernandez, and Litta displayed their collections in Bryant Park. Ranging from a variety of traditional-inspired pieces, multi-colored richly printed numbers, elegant streamlined modernism, to beautifully crafted pleated gowns topped with ornate hats, the designers clearly impressed this season.

Andy & Debb Spring 2010

Andy_Debb_titleAs a Pratt Alum, Andy & Debb Spring 2010 was another collection that did me proud. The pieces played with shapes, textures and had a very 50’s feel. I can see them dressing the cast of MadMen with this line. We saw bubble skirts and chic tailored suits in a palette of burnt orange, copper, gold, and magentas. Kudos, Prattlings.
