Favorite of the Day: Anthony Vaccarello

I tend to shy away from clothes defined as sexy. Yet there are some, those that play both sides, that draw me in. Those on display at Anthony Vaccarello played that game.

Short and loose. Long and tight. And never boring.

Favorite of the Day: Dolce & Gabbana

For the past few seasons, Dolce & Gabbana has stuck close to home and mined the cultural history of Italy for inspiration.

This season they took us on a colorful trip to Sicily.

It made one hope that they don't soon leave home.

Favorite of the Day: Fendi

Sometimes I am can be contrary simply for the sake of being contrary. At times fashion seems to have similar tendencies. The Fendi collection, with its somewhat darker palette and its showcase of soft leathers, might have seemed to be playing that game.

Or maybe it was teaching us that spring and summer aren't just for cottons and linens.

Favorite of the Day: Gabriele Colangelo

My favorite pieces of modern art are those that deal in strong shapes and blocks of color. I get lost in them and find myself unable to keep any grasp on the time that is passing or the setting that surrounds me. While looking over the Gabriele Colangelo collection shown on September 21st, some of those same feelings emerged.

It shook me out of my Milan-induced lethargy.

Favorite of the Day: Pringle of Scotland

The clothes seen at Pringle of Scotland on September 17th were slouchy and easy, made for those girls who can throw on anything and make it look polished.

But some of the colors, so saturated that they verged on the psychedelic, elevated the clothes far beyond the casual.

Favorite of the Day: Preen

By the time New York fashion week ends, I often find myself already tiring of the trends that I know will continue to crop up in the other three cities. Yet occasionally there is a collection that hits all of the right notes for the season without leaving me wanting something more.

The Preen collection shown on September 16th in London prominently featured the prints and hints of transparency that have been almost everywhere.

But there was something in the way that it was all put together that kept me fixated.

Favorite of the Day: Dion Lee

While the London collections are known for their play prints and patterns, there are designers who employ a quieter method to garner attention.

On September 15th at Dion Lee, the prints were there, but they were joined by other looks.

Looks full of sex and laser-sharp tailoring.
