New York Fashion week

Hey,

New York fashion week ended a couple of days back and we've moved on to London but i'd like to pick out a few of my favourites from New York.

Dracula Orchid
I was really inspired and impressed by one designer Christian Siriano, although his actual collection isn't what I'd normally really like it's still beautiful and i love how he was inspired. He said this collection was inspired by a flower called the Dracula Orchid. So the collection was dark and creepy using laser cut petals on dresses and even oversized lapels that looked like leaves or petals. To the right is my favourite dress as you can really see the inspiration with dark petals covering the dress.



My personal favourite collection from the New York fashion week was Herve Leger by Maz Azira. Maz Azira displayed three collections and he said this was because women have 10 different ways to express herself and these collections were just 3 of these ways. This Herve Leger collection was about evolving the bandage dress using a lot of white and beige colours and the skirts were often shorter than seen in previous collections but with a nice mix of long as well. The collection is full of sexy and powerful dresses. This is my particular favourite item. I love the detailing in the tight bodice and then down to the flowing skirt. I think this engages the sexy and powerful feel.
