its ovah. O.V.A.H.

New York is over, and Im pretty glad. I dont know why but the whole thing just gave me the grumps!! I say BOO to you. Im glad London is starting and already Ive seen some killah things Ill talk about later. Before that I think I should talk about a few collections i DID like from new york. Apart from these and Rodarte, there wasnt much.

Hervé Léger by Max Azria

OK! LOVE! Oh hai random big bold font, you're fun. ANYWAY, Im totally digging this! I just think theyre really technically beautiful displaying some really great skill. Plus I just think aesthetically I love the whole vibe of the collection.

The black pieces feel tough and powerful while still feminine,while the cream and greys of the lighter pieces feel strong but soft at the same time. Some of the shapes sort of remind me of Mark fast SS10?

I don't have much to say about this collection really, apart from that I really liked these two looks? I don't even know why, but sometimes thats ok. The one on the left deserves a detail shot because the fabric has a really nice soft print, and that belt is just so rad.

Proenza Schouler

Yay! I pretty much loved this whole collection, althought I think Ive known since Pre-Fall that I would. The coloured furs are devine, the prints are so rad, as are the accessories. Love it!

Awesome!

Just what I needed.

Rodarte F/W 2010, lovely. I was seriously beginning to worry about you, New York.

The beginning of the collection definately presented all my favourite looks. It makes me want to throw on like 10 random layers and drape everything over myself.

The above pieces were also stand out for me, I just looove the prints, and how floatyness of them while still having the feeling of being wrapped up tight in a warm blanket. I'd like to run through a frosty wood wearing something like this, you know what I mean?

On the Style.com review it mentions about how they were thinking about thier mexican heritage for this collection, and I love how theyve translated that feeling. I guess it would have been easy for them to go down some tacky poncho dress route, but instead they were inspired by ideas of traditional craft, and I loves that. I also love the subtle mexican totem eagle pattern on the top left look? Well thats how I translate it anyway?

OK, so maybe towards the end of the show there were pieces that might have been filla rather than killa (not the pieces above, Ilovethem), but there was still plenty that I adored so this has definately been one of the best of NY so far. Like I said before, maybe I just need to snap out of this lull feeling.

SO what do we think?

These were my favourite looks.... complete collection HERE. I dunno guys, maybe I need to have a second (and third and fourth) look at it? It hasnt really sunk in yet. Maybe SS was just TOO great? Im just not diggin' it!! Maybe I just need to snap out of this feeling... like Im finding it so hard to work out how washion week is going on without AMcQ? Dont worry, Im sure it will hit me soon. And I still love you Wang. In every form.
