Issey Miyake Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com: Runway Review. There's always been as much science as there is art in an Issey Miyake collection.
Dai Fujiwara consolidated the connection with Fall's offering, inspired by the revolutionary mathematician William Thurston's geometric models for the shape of the universe. As abstract as that sounds, the result was an often breathtaking evolution of last season's rainbow-nation tribalism. After the show, Fujiwara and Thurston wrapped themselves for the press in a long stretch of red tubing to make the point that something that looks random is actually (according to Thurston) "beautiful geometry.
" The same idea was explored in outfits that were draped in ropes of knit tubing, or jackets piped to mirror the mathematician's graphic formulae. The twists and turns of quilted, ruched, ribbed, and shirred pieces were also Thurston-inspired. Two decades ago, in the same venue, Romeo Gigli transfixed Paris with a show so rich and romantic that it moved its audience to tears. Zac Posen Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com: Runway Review. The terrace of Avery Fisher Hall as dusk descended over Lincoln Center was the grand setting Zac Posen chose for his return to New York fashion week.
The designer famously left his hometown for the City of Light a year ago, declaring, in so many words, that a Paris audience would understand his clothes better. That turned out not to be the case. But this prodigal-son story has a happy ending. He neither overplayed nor tempered his creative instincts today, as he had in his first and second seasons, respectively, in Paris. On the contrary: The well-executed dresses and gowns he put on his runway tonight reminded some in the audience of the designer's early-aughts glory days.
Posen focused on cut and fit—the more precise, the better. Natasha Poly, Mariacarla Boscono & Karen Elson by Mert & Marcus. Earth, Wind & Fire – Natasha Poly, Mariacarla Boscono and Karen Elson play autumn enchantresses for Roberto Cavalli’s fall 2011 campaign lensed by Mert & Marcus.

Chloé Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com: Runway Review. Beige, beige, and more beige.
It's no news by now that the paler shade of brown, and the grown-up daywear it connotes, have become mainstays of the season. It's the route Chloé has taken for Fall, with such thorough commitment that until halfway through, it almost seemed Hannah MacGibbon was reluctant to offer anything else. From the outset, she whittled the look down to its clearest components: a long-sleeved silk blouse and high-waist flared trousers, and the bouncy, blown-out Charlie girl hair that captures the seventies American sportswear attitude this trend is all about. Next up, MacGibbon introduced knitwear, classic menswear overcoats, and an early-Armani-like jacket that might have jumped out of Vogue's pages in the post-women's lib era—when dashing to work while looking enthusiastically businesslike was the thing.
MacGibbon's house-cleaning instinct has thrown out the all the frills, prints, funny bags, and chunky clogs and platform shoes that last made Chloé hot. Vivienne Tam Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com: Runway Review. Proenza Schouler Resort 2011 Collection on Style.com: Complete Collection. Anna Sui Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com: Runway Review. Anna Sui is celebrating the 20th birthday of her business and, as the new tome that marks the milestone shows, she has been utterly true to her vision from day one.
Her collection today included the baby doll dresses, the handkerchief-hemmed skirts, and the print mixes that have always been part of her work. But the heart of the issue was, as always, Sui's ability to build an extraordinary mythology around her story for the season. She cited Days of Heaven, the Terrence Malick movie from 1978 that is one of her favorites.
From it, she extrapolated a dusty, sun-faded world of pioneer women, which led her on to Joni Mitchell and the girls of Laurel Canyon in late-sixties L.A. Sui is in love with the artisanal, so there was a strong feel for the human touch in hand-crocheted sweaters, waistcoats crafted from granny squares, and cross-stitch embroidery.
