New York Fashion Week Favourites

What intrigued me most about the Fall/Winter 2011/2012 shows in New York was the variety. At shows like Rodarte, light colours and fabrics were emphasized while at Alexander Wang, cozy knits reigned supreme. My favourite show overall was Jason Wu and his beautiful dresses and details. Here are some other favourites:
At Marc Jacobs, dots were EVERYWHERE. My prediction is a dots themed editorial in Vogue or Harper's Bazaar come September.

Marchesa never fails to disappoint with their frothy frocks.

At Alexander Wang, I was fascinated by pieces like this that went gradually from a heavy knit to silk. That detail was incredible.

Feathered Faces On Parade

Is the masquerade scene in Phantom of the Opera not incredible? It's one of my favourite scenes and at a recent semi-formal I got to live out my own masquerade dream (without the elaborate song and dance number). I went out in this gorgeous tiered white floral dress. The print on this dress is likely one of my favourite prints as the flowers look like they were effortlessly painted on. Of course I still needed to fulfill my feather obsession, so I wore a white feathered mask that was perfect against my white dress.
