New York really brought it to the table, hot , steamy and delicious like
mommas pie. The theme for this fashion week seems to be celebrating the
strength of femininity. Fur made a strong appearance, but not in a
'slap dash' manner, rather it was used thoughtfully to reinforce the
concept of femininity. Fur itself is a perfect representation of the
elements of a strong woman- what can seem intimidating in presence in
reality translates into something that is in reality soft to the touch,
beautiful, unique by nature and protecting by function. Now, I don't
know if the designers considered all of this when choosing fur ( it is
after all Autumn winter) but it was defiantly the right choice for
designers Alexander Wang, Donna Karan and Chaudo Ralph Rucci who used
fur to accent strong silhouettes. My personal favourites were Alexander
Wang , Donna Karan & Reem Acra who redefined the boundaries
femininity, upholding its strength whilst maintaining the trademark of a
woman subtle sexuality, routed in confidence and strength.
Alexander Wang
Wang did what we know and love him for, taking geometric and
architectural design and making it feminine and beautiful. His pieces
communicated strength without compromising desirability. You could
imagine a bad ass boss lady wearing the pieces on crowded wall street
and standing out equally for strength as femininity.
Donna Karan
Donna Karan shines as she confidently works from a full creative melody
of fabrics to create looks that cleverly show the feminine silhouette ,
not from an over sexual male objective- Donna craftily manages to
celebrate the female form from a position of empowerment through beauty.
Reem Acra
Lebanese designer Reem Acra is mainly known for her bridal wear, however
there was nothing submissive about this collection. Bold and fiercely
beautiful her pieces were made for an individual independent beautiful
yet strong woman not unlike Reem herself. The collection juxtaposes
embellishment and luxury whilst still maintaining attitude. I love it!
