Fan-tab-u-lous Fall '10 Faves: Moda Operandi
+
So now that Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is over and my life is somewhat back to Normal, I wanted to recap on some of my Favorites for Fall.
The passion that the clothing exuded for Autumn was nothing short of awe inspiring. The models, covered in rich colors, opulent textures and dramatic lines, seemed to just rove down the runway... leaving attendees speechless.
Designers once again embraced a multitude of leathers, furs and shearlings pairing them with extravagant knits. Actually, I was surprised not to see any PETA demonstrators picketing in front of Bryant this year.
Although I may not have bumped into protesters at the tents, I did rub elbows with: Matt Dillion, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, Michelle Trachtenberg, Whitney Port, Carmen Electra, Kate Bosworth, Whoopie Goldberg, Amanda Peat, Rosario Dawson, Kerry Washington, Hayden Panettiere, Ed Westwick, Molly Sims, Liv Tyler, Kelly Osbourne (who, btw, lost an insane amount of weight and looks fanfrickingtastic! I saw her at Nanette Lepore, and don't think that I didn't tell her how awesome she looks.) Um..... Oh, I also bumped in to Sarah Jessica Parker at Halston and introduced myself as the original Samantha Jones.
And now, without further ado and, in no particular order:

ADAM by Adam Lippes: Fall 2010
+
Saturday, February 13th: ADAM by Adam Lippes Fall 2010 at Bryant Park
Inspired by painter Isca Greenfield-Sanders and her show Against the Fall, Lippes incorporates the idea of a parachute jumper falling through the dark opaque sky. The balance of lightness and texture transforms the Fall 2010 collection of chunky knits, sheer fabrics, leather and wool.
As one attended so aptly stated, "You can't go wrong with a bomber jacket." Agreed.
