Mark Fast S/S 10

Last Night Mark Fast did something that very few designers do. Fast had 3 plus sized models in his show. This became such a problem for the stylist of the show that they quit over Mark's insistence on keeping the models. Some people are seeing this move by the designer as a publicity stunt, as I don't know him personally I can't comment on that but I think its great that there was a little variety in the show, in terms of body size.
Now back to fashion I mostly liked the collection there was plenty of body conscious pieces and some unusual ruffles. There were also some feathers in black and nude which is great because I love feathers, there the perfect embellishment, they can be ladylike and edgy at the same time. I like Fast's collection especially because like myself and my mother he's a knitter. I love knitting (I'm currently making some black thigh high socks) I think its an underrated hobby and its nice to see somebody go a little further with knitting and make things that are a lot edgier. So all in all well done to Mark Fast for a good collection and some variety in your choices of models.

My Favourite

Love the feathers

Love the body con dress

Oscar De La renta S/S10

Dear Mr Oscar De La renta

How do you do it? How do you create the most beautiful dresses year after year? Where do you get your inspiration from? There is not one item from your collection that does not make my jaw drop in amazement, or make me feel jealous that I don't have the funds to buy one of your masterpieces. If I did have the money I would wear your creations all the time, and if I were an actress I wouldn't even threat about what to wear to the Oscars because I know you would come through for me and create the most spectacular garment my eyes will ever see. Every year gets better and better, and next year I hope I can see your creations saunter down the runway whilst I stand on tip-toes in awe at the back row.

Love the theatrical drama of this dress, damn that lucky model Arlenis Sosa, some girls get all the luck

Without a doubt the best collection shown at New York Fashion Week
