Black dominates fall runways at New York Fashion Week
Designers used literal and loose interpretations of film and art on the runways at New York Fashion Week.
The common thread through all the fall collections, though, was black. Black has emerged as the color for next season, complemented either by white or other dark neutrals.

N.Y. Fashion week: Celebs and fiberglass
Narciso Rodriguez: The only retro look you'll ever see on a Rodriguez catwalk is an architectural style from a previous Rodriguez collection. Otherwise, he is strictly a forward thinker — even in a season when many of his peers are finding inspiration in the early 1960s.
Rodriguez's spring line was full of formfitting dresses, and fiberglass and patent leather were the favorite trims.
Yes, fiberglass.

Oscar de la Rentas Fabulous Moment
Let's give it up big, a roaring burst of applause, for a great Oscar de la Renta collection, presented Monday morning in New York, the American designer who has stayed truest to his own self. It might seem bizarre to say this but the catwalk gals looked sensational in this show. Too often designers confuse fashion with making some sort of bug "statement." Oscar concentrates in a more difficult task; making women look beautiful.

New York Designers Keep Things Loose
Shedding winter weight won't be an issue come next spring, if New York designers have anything to say about it. After the first three days of shows of Spring 2007 fashion week in New York, the overwhelming trend for next season appears to be loose, comfortable clothing - tent dresses are a recurring theme - using sophisticated fabrics and colors, taking women easily from day to night.

Fashion Week basks in success of dress
New York Fashion Week is basking in the success of the dress. It's already been a strong item for fall fashion, but it has emerged as the key piece for spring.
Tom Julian, director of trends for McCann-Erickson, said spring 2007 is taking its cue from a classic Audrey Hepburn look — with A-line shapes and minimal luxe fabrics — but adding a bit of a "
Paris Hilton personality" with strapless tops and other sexy accents

Fashion Week Message: Fur is New Nothing
Fur is the new nothing. You’re not likely to see that headline splashed across the pages of Vogue magazine anytime soon, but that’s the message that Jay McCarroll—the dishy designer who won the first season of Bravo’s Project Runway—will be sending at New York Fashion Week, now in progress. McCarroll’s highly anticipated collection, his first since delighting fans with his sharp wit and innovative creations on his way to becoming “The Next Big Fashion Designer,” will be completely fur-free. “The animals need their fur more than I do,” he says.

Signs of spring: Fashion Week trends to watch
Buyers and fashion editors are wrapping up Olympus Fashion Week here, gleaning runway insight into next spring’s breezy yet sophisticated styles. Rodriguez, a designer known for his body-conscious cuts, tackled the season’s extra volume on a smaller scale than most. Tuesday night he showed a beautifully innovative collection - plastic and Fiberglas details gave dresses an armorlike quality - and challenged the industry to look to the future of fashion.

Fashion Week heads to the finish line
American designers are having their moment in the spotlight at New York Fashion Week and, in the process, they're building a bigger base of fans.

NY Fashion Week: Wrap Up with Kimonos and Belts
I kicked off my Fashion Week in Harlem on Fifth Avenue, where Essence Magazine's Black Style Now Gala was taking place at the Museum of the City of New York. This event, hosted by Diddy, told the story of Hip-Hop Fashion through the past 20 years. The museum exhibited legendary hip-hop accessories -- from the The Kangol, made famous by LL Cool J in the 1980s, to the blinged-out Kimora Lee Simmons Hello Kitty pendant.

Colors for spring erupt at N.Y. Fashion Week
It's going to be a bright and sunny spring, judging by the rainbow of colors previewed at New York Fashion Week.
Forget the war, forget the mortgage crisis — it's not fashion's role to tackle the weighty issues on people's minds, said Michael Kors, who presented one of the most upbeat shows of the week with models in sherbet-colored stripes bopping up and down the runway to "Xanadu."

Marc Jacobs: Federalist Spinsters
The most original collection for fall 2008 staged in New York this past week has to have been that by Marc Jacobs, a series of experiments with volume, palette and knobby eccentricity. With practically every second model wearing Federal era tri-corn hat or face veils, skirts cut half way down the calf and blouses knotted with little ties it had a straight laced sensibility. Yet it was all juxtaposed with Grease style headbands and willful volume that gave the fashion a fresh, refined twist.

Zac Posen's Fall Fantasy Fracas
What item most says "fetish" in a woman's wardrobe? Why, the shoe, of course - preferably a spiked stiletto. So kicking off his show with the sound coming from the speakers of a clack-clack-clack of a pair of pumps on a marble floor, Zac Posen made sure you knew this would be one sexy collection even before the first look came down the runway.

Vera Wang: Fauvist Femme
Dutch fauvist painter Kees van Dongen inspired the artful, frequently stunning Fall 2008 collection by Vera Wang, which she showed early Thursday morning, Feb. 7, in Bryant Park. Van Dongen's charged portraits of women, with their crimson lips, emotive, smoky eyes, and draped in loose folds of richly colored fabric, proved to be a ripe starting point for Wang, who was an art history major in college. Wang's collections exude romantic eroticism in a way that is as sensuous as van Dongen's paintings are.
