NY Fashion Week Mid-Week Trend Recap
February 7th, 2006
We’re only halfway through fashion week, but we
thought we’d start recapping some of the big trends we’ve been seeing
over and over again:
A
few other trends we’re seeing popping up are shearling, tie-neck and
tie-waist garments, and sweaterdresses. Bows, cardigans, bermudas,
trenchcoats, cropped styles, and waist emphasis all continue from
Spring 2006.
High Waisted Styles: Empire waist styles and high-waisted pants are Huge right now.
Y and Kei, Diane Von Furstenberg, Alice Roi, Doo Ri, United Bamboo
Voluminous Sleeves: Sometimes it’s just a puff at the shoulder, but we’ve also seen some leg of mutton sleeves out there.
Twinkle, Diane Von Furstenberg, Alice Roi, Doo Ri, Three As Four
Bubble Skirts: Cute skirts with gathered fabric
at the bottom. They look nice on models, but not as good on short
people like me.
Badgley Mischka, Doo Ri, Twinkle, United Bamboo
Vests: I guess that Wall of Vests I saw last weekend at H&M was Right On Trend, not only for Spring but also for Fall.
Tomer, Rachel Comey, Twinkle, Diane Von Furstenberg, United Bamboo
Ruffles: Again with the Spring 2006 trends…
Doo Ri, Three As Four
Hooded Trenchcoats: The Newest Take on the classic Trench.
Lacoste, Three As Four
And for accessories…
Long (up to elbow-length!) gloves: You too can look like you’re going to the opera when you’re actually just going to the mall!
Lacoste, Nicole Miller, Diane Von Furstenberg, Badgley Mischka, Alice Roi, Doo Ri
Leggings and Tights: Good for layering, but watch what you put over them. Oh and let’s not do the 1980s again. Please?
Rachel Comey, Twinkle, Yigal Azrouel
"Handmade" knitted scarves: As Dino would say, "just like grandma used to make."
Tomer, John Bartlett, Twinkle.

[…] February 8th, 2006 Photo Credit: NY Metro Key Takeaways: Carolina Herrera’s collection encompassed both business-appropriate daywear and eveningwear. Key trends from this collection included (1) Emphasis on the waistline (throwback to Spring 06), (2) Voluminous sleeves (seems to be a Big Thing this season), (3) Natural to High waistlines, (4) Square sunglasses, (5) Boatnecked styles, (6) 3/4 length coats, and (7) Tights. Embellishments included fur trims, beaded styles, and bows (also So Spring 06).Color Palette: Both warm (red, orange) and cool (turquoise, lilac) colors complemented Herrera’s base of neutrals.Silhouettes: Waistlines were either at the natural waist or above, though bottoms came in both fitted and baggy varieties. Sleeves tended to be voluminous, either at the shoulder or at the wristline. Herrera seems to have a thing for asymmetry–and 3/4 length styles (both coats and sleeves came in this length). What’s Wearable: Personal standout: An exquisitely detailed pintucked black sheath dress. We also appreciated her asymmetric suits, her slim pencil skirts, and her boatnecked jackets.What’s Not Wearable: Huge medallions around your neck…what are we, on the Sopranos? The Victorian-inspired getup with the pouf sleeves and Full skirt isn’t going to win anyone any Best Dressed awards. Traci would also frown upon the vinyl-ish black and clear polka dotted dress.
