Bill Cunningham Working Hard During NYFW

Despite the explosion of street style bloggers over the past few years, it's nice to know that the original master, Bill Cunningham, is still capturing the best-dressed at Lincoln Center during New York Fashion Week.

Catherine Malandrino Spring 2011

With the reflecting pool outside Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center as a backdrop, Malandrino’s Spring 2011 collection took us on a trip far away from the overcast skies of New York City to the South of France. Malandrino’s inspiration for the collection came from the artists’ village, Vallauris, in the South of France, and more specifically, ceramist Roger Capron. This spirit of artistry and craftsmanship could be seen in the intricate details of the clothing like a floor-length macramé dress, chunky beaded jewelry, woven leather vests and intricately-designed studded jackets. Despite the emphasis on details, some things were still classic Malandrino: the models’ slightly tousled chignons, as well as pieces like wide-leg linen pants, drop crotch capris and bright dresses, are the kind of effortless chic that we’ve come to expect from Malandrino.

Thakoon's Textured Landscape

Best known for his intricate details, Thakoon went a step further for his Fall 2010 collection, experimenting with different silhouettes and a multitude of textures. With all the details and different fabrications, this collection could have easily become muddled, but in a subtle way, Thakoon is one of the few designers so far at NYFW that showed something distinctly different from Fall 2009. Bunches of ruffles gave interest to monochromatic looks and Thakoon also gave us a really nice new pant shape, which is sort of like a more structured harem pant. The accessories were also fantastic; a knotted soft leather belt, and shearling-lined peep toe booties could spice up any fall wardrobe. Overall, the collection was modern, innovative and will surely be a major influence for stores like H & M and Zara.

NYFW Fall 2010 Ones to Watch

Susan Woo

After presenting her first collection in Fall 2009, its a little surprising that Susan Woo's  environmentally-conscious and sophisticated line has flown so low under the radar. Despite having been been featured by Elle and Women's Wear Daily, Woo has not received as much attention as other emerging designers. Whether or not you are interested in eco fashion, any woman can appreciate the beautiful modern pieces that Ms. Woo can craft from sustainable fabrics like organic cotton and vegan silk.

Susan Woo will be showing at Sat, Feb 13 at 2PM at the Bryant Park Hotel, 40 West 40th st

Bibhu Mohapatra

 bibhu mohapatra  fall 2009 collection

After designing at both Halston and J Mendel, it's no surprise that Bibhu Mohapatra's designs are rich with lush fabrics, but Mohapatra's viewpoint is definitely his own. Both his construction and draping make for edgy, but luxurious pieces- think Uptown girl with a downtown edge. Mohapatra's talent makes him poised to become a younger generation's Bill Blass.

Bibhu Mohapatra will be showing Mon, Feb 15 at 4PM at the Marianne Boesky Gallery, 509 West 24th st (nr 10th Ave)
