Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2014 Collection www.NewYorkFashionWeek.com Video & Edit: Eamon Varney
Thursday, September 12, 2013
By Nicole Phelps
Francisco Costa is celebrating his tenth anniversary at the helm of Calvin Klein this season. It's a milestone, and the brand is doing it up: new Tribeca venue, A-list star power in the form of Nicole Kidman and Rooney Mara (the face of the label's just-launched perfume, Downtown) in the front row, and a glitzy party planned for later this evening. Costa, for his own part, didn't let the moment slip by. True to the house's roots, minimalism has long been the designer's signature here, but you couldn't call what he did today pared back. If he didn't exactly play against type, he certainly tried a few things that felt new. "Elevated deconstruction," he called his Spring experiment afterward. It was a gutsy show for Costa. The collection started off much as they usually do at Calvin Klein—with white, but the exposed seam allowance on the opening look's strapless wrap top and skirt flashed pink. Color was the first difference; in addition to that pink, there was the red, mint, and brilliant emerald green of handwoven cotton tweed. A black nylon material he used for a tank top and a full, short skirt was loomed with bright threads. Yarnlike threads also appeared as a deep fringe on a woven black leather jacket. Costa has traditionally been too controlled a designer to embrace something like fringe. Here, he made it a big part of the story, and the three swishy finale dresses especially were an argument for a more freewheeling Francisco. Not all of Costa's ideas about deconstruction were as successful. Some of the materials he used were too stiff (we're thinking in particular of those wide-cuff painter's pants), and it's also fair to wonder how many women out there want to wear their seam allowances on the outside of their clothes. But we really liked the look of a pair of dresses patchworked from graphic leather and silk basket weaves. All in all, Costa more than earned all of the celebrating he'll be doing tonight.

Michael Kors Fall/Winter 2013 Collection www.NewYorkFashionWeek.com Video: Eamon Varney
FEBRUARY 13, 2013 NEW YORK
Michael Kors has taken us on many adventurous journeys over the years and has finally gotten around to exploring his own backyard. For Fall/Winter 2013 he was inspired by New York City. The experience of Hurricane Sandy, that recently ravished Manhattan, got him thinking about urban survival which put him in a New York State of mind.
The show opened with a series of brightly colored looks in bold blues, yellows and reds with slashes of racing stripes for people in a hurry. Then camouflage for those who want to just blend in. The elongated structure of many of his garments matched the tall cascading buildings of the famous skyline.
In one of the world's most energetic and exciting metropolises there are countless things to do and places to go so one requires just the right wardrobe for all the endless multitasking. The city has always been about mixing diverse influences together and Kors brilliantly combined a number of different styles and textures.
There was the oversized and the slim, the bright and the dark, the hard and the soft, the classic and the new blended together in competing textures of wool, plaid, leather and neoprene. Where the designer really hit home was with his chic urbane but comfortable styling. The grouping of his elegant evening wear at the end, especially his leather bodice combinations, were most intriguing.
Kors once again delivered an impressive and well rounded presentation with clothes that were irresistibly attractive but also seemed especially wearable.

After a seven-year hiatus, Kenneth Cole returned to the runway tonight with a show for his elevated Collection line. While he may have been missing from the catwalk, Cole wasn't out of the game entirely, and he smartly turned this homecoming into a full-fledged social-media blowout. Cole encouraged showgoers and those tuning in to the live stream to get the virtual conversation going by pledging $1 to amfAR for every tweet or retweet using #KCRUNWAY. (Cole, the chairman of the board of amfAR, was honored at the organization's gala last night.) During their finale lap, the models even Instagrammed pictures of the audience for a bit of cheeky role reversal. "We wanted to use the myriad of platforms available to communicate both a social message and a fashion message in unison," he explained backstage. All that tweeting, Instagramming, Facebooking, and tumbling shifted some of the focus away from the collection, but Cole wasn't short on ideas when it came to actual clothes either. Cole and creative director Kobi Halperin reinforced the evening's cutting-edge message with futuristic metallic leather harnesses and chokers, as well as holographic jackets and accessories that incorporated lenticular prints. At times, those high-tech styling flourishes distracted from the urban wardrobe staples here—sharp double-breasted wool coats, pleated leather trousers, and easy knits—that were ultimately very wearable; and wearability has always been a Kenneth Cole trademark. After a sea of black outfits, they introduced color into the lineup with a series of monochromatic olive and oxblood looks, and that was when the fabrics really started to pop. Case in point: the mixed-media tweed jacket and velvet cargo pants worn by Alison Nix, as well as a shaggy teal shearling vest. On the menswear side of the equation, Cole stuck to classics like tailored glen plaid suits for the office or evening, and quilted puffer coats for the weekends. His parka jackets and slim portfolios looked good. "We don't care if people love it. We just want them to 'like' it," read one of the lines in the introductory video. Love it or like it, there's no arguing that Kenneth Cole has heart.

Jason Wu Fall/Winter 2013 Collection - New York Fashion Week www.NewYorkFashionWeek.com Video: Eamon Varney
FEBRUARY 08, 2013NEW YORK
By Nicole Phelps
Jason Wu has gotten quite chummy with Stephanie Seymour of late. The fortysomething model, who vamped in the front row with her sons Peter and Harry today, stars in the designer's Spring ad campaign. You can Google an Inez and Vinoodh-lensed picture of Wu with his head practically in Seymour's bare-legged lap. Then there's Michelle Obama, who chose a dress by the designer for her husband's second Inauguration Ball last month, four years after she wore a Wu gown to his first, although you won't find any snapshots of the two of them palling around at La Grenouille. Anyway, those fruitful relationships could be why Wu set out to design what he called his "most womanly, most grown-up" collection to date. He called it Extreme Femininity, and he definitely set a glam scene at his Park Avenue venue, installing a massive chandelier in the middle of his square runway. In the past, he preferred whimsy—remember those KAWS-designed prints? Here, he opted for its opposite. The shoulders of his power suits certainly were assertive; they were as strong as waists were nipped. Shirts, meanwhile, were buttoned all the way to the top, with collars just grazing the chin. You couldn't call the collection restrained, not by a long shot, what with all that fur (best as black patch pockets on a caramel brown parka) and the provocative lace-printed clear plastic trenches. But the black and white color palette, with only a few shots of red (a nod in Mrs. Obama's direction?), seemed to be Wu's way of saying, "I'm getting serious." All grown-up or not, a girl still likes to let her hair down from time to time. Ask Seymour. Wu was at his most convincing here when he focused on the "femininity" of the show's title: the swingy pleats of cocktail dresses, the polka dots of a sleeveless blouse, charming point d'esprit camisoles with long trains worn over capri pants. Those were in his sweet spot. He strained harder to incorporate the "extreme" into his sensibility; in the end, that part isn't such a good fit.

Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2013 Collection - New York Fashion Week www.NewYorkFashionWeek.com Video: Eamon Varney
FEBRUARY 14, 2013NEW YORK
By Nicole Phelps
A giant sun was suspended from the ceiling of the Lexington Avenue Armory for tonight's Marc Jacobs show, postponed from his usual Monday night slot due to delivery issues. The orb turned your seatmates' faces a startling shade of yellow, but when you looked across the enormous concrete stage, everything was in shades of gray, almost like an old sepia photo. It had the same desaturating effect on the clothes Jacobs sent out. You could make out patterns, like the microplaid of a simple shirtdress, and you could see texture, such as the mohair of snug tops, the fox fur on coats, or the flash of sequins, but you couldn't really determine their color beyond guessing whether something was light or dark. If he had left it at that, it would have been an intriguing though ultimately frustrating experience. But then Jacobs turned up the house lights and sent all 55 models, who wore matching shag wigs, out again to repeat the circuit. It was then you noticed that some of the plaid actually sparkled and that from dress to dress the sequins changed from navy to burgundy to rose to shimmering gold. This isn't the first time that Jacobs has fiddled with the traditional runway show format—several years ago, he staged a show back to front. But why send the clothes out twice, first colorless, then not? Jacobs lifted the low-frequency light idea from Olafur Eliasson's The Weather Project at the Tate in London, a show that resonated with him after his newly rebuilt West Village house was badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy. "Last season was all black and white, and life unfortunately isn't that way, it's all the shades of gray," he said backstage. "I've felt out of sorts, and I wanted to see things sort of dismal and then still show the optimistic side." "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," a song we've heard at an MJ show before, was the other obvious reference point. As for the clothes themselves, they were stripped down and irony-free: cable-knit sweaters, tailored blazers and vests, silk pajamas, fox chubbies, scads of high-waisted briefs—all familiar from Jacobs' oeuvre. The fact that the designer came out for his bow in pajamas of his own (Prada, for the record) offered a clue. He was after the comfort of the familiar. In a New York season strong on real-life clothes, the straightforwardness of that approach resonated. Partially led by Jacobs himself, fashion has been dominated these last few years by high-concept and often overelaborate clothes, and tonight's new direction felt right. There were terrific coats here for days, as well as neat little office-bound sweater and pencil skirt sets. For after-dark, Jacobs layered on those sequins: the most striking looks a pair of evening coats in oversize paillettes with plush fox fur draped around the neck. When the models came out for the finale, they assembled themselves into an orb of their own. Only Marc could turn a bout of melancholy and such simple clothes into the show of the week.

Oscar de la Renta Fall/Winter 2013 Collection - New York Fashion Week www.NewYorkFashionWeek.com Video: Eamon Varney
FEBRUARY 12, 2013NEW YORK
By Nicole Phelps
Oscar de la Renta made headlines last month when he invited John Galliano to be a designer-in-residence at his studio for three weeks. It wasn't long after the news broke that people began wondering if the disgraced former Dior designer would be working on de la Renta's Fall collection. We got our answer tonight. De la Renta came out for his bow, as he always does, but Galliano was in the building. When his PR chief was asked if Galliano had worked on the collection, she demurred, saying, "Well, he is backstage." There was that, and then there were the clothes themselves. Certain looks seemed very much to bear the Englishman's hand, especially the opening jackets with their draped necklines and flaring hips; there was something of Dior's classic Bar silhouette in them. Among the other clues that Galliano was in the house: The marcelled locks and deeply shaded, greasy eyes (one of four separate hair and makeup looks) were familiar from his Paris days. Then again, other pieces seemed more like vintage de la Renta. The 80-year-old will mark his 50th year of designing clothes in New York in 2013, so there isn't much territory that he hasn't covered. Nonetheless, it's safe to say that he owns looks like this show's white-ribbon-embroidered black party dress. The exaggerated toile prints and jacquards said America, not la France. The real question, though, isn't who did this and who did that, but rather, was it all any good? In some ways, it felt a good deal more conservative than de la Renta's Spring collection, which boasted latex skirts and tops as well as evening shorts. On the other hand, nothing last season came close to the wow factor of the two grand silk faille ball gowns with gold bullion embroidery (one shocking pink, the other mulberry) that closed the show. In theory, Galliano's residency is almost up, but if there's one thing for certain, tonight wasn't the end of the intrigue.

Zac Posen Fall/Winter 2013 - New York Fashion Week www.NewYorkFashionWeek.com Video: Eamon Varney
FEBRUARY 10, 2013NEW YORK
By Nicole Phelps
There were tourists lined up on the steps of the Plaza tonight. It's not clear if they were waiting for a glimpse of Katharine McPhee, who sat front row in the hotel's Terrace Room for Zac Posen's show, or for the designer himself. Now that he's on Project Runway, Posen's becoming a celebrity in his own right. To capitalize on it, he's launched a new contemporary brand priced between Z Spoke and his signature collection that incorporates his name, Zac Zac Posen, not unlike Michael Michael Kors. No confusing his Fall show with a diffusion line. Posen focused less on evening gowns with his famous anatomical seaming than he usually does on the runway, favoring evening separates and a surprising number of pants, but the clothes were nonetheless loaded up with detail: soutache embroidery, origami draping and folds. Some of the familiar complaints lobbed in Posen's direction applied: Here and there the cuts looked stuffy and old. But he also had some good ideas, in particular a fitted peplum top in rust-colored duchesse satin that zipped in the back, taking the place of a jacket, and other versions of the same thing in stretch felt or velvet. Posen has been enjoying an uptick in red carpet credits lately. It's too soon to say if it's related to Project Runway, but there were a handful of showstopping gowns here—a strapless bustier number in lapis, bias-cut orchid-colored chiffon, and most of all, a citrine stretch duchesse style with gold soutache embroidery—that won't do anything to slow down his winning streak.
