For her Spring 2010 runway show at New York Fashion Week, Jill Stuart presented a futuristic collection that also paid homage to the bold spirit of the '80s. This collection had a very strong borrowed-from-the-boudoir theme- sheer fabrics and panels, corsets, lace, and dresses so short they looked like lingerie all added to the va va voom vibe. It wasn't all about the vamps and vixens though- there were plenty of softly draped white dresses that were definitely on the more wearable end of the spectrum. However, these too were sexed up with killer lace-up boots that looked like corsets for your feet. This collection was marked by micro-minis (like seriously micro), second skin pants, strong shoulders, sequins, metallics, and oversized studs, all of which added to the sexy, edgy, rocker vibe. My wishlist included a black shimmery backless halter, a studded strapless dress, a metallic draped micro-mini, and a pink zebra striped sequined dress that seriously caused my jaw to hit the floor.

New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: BCBG Max Azria

BCBGMAXAZRIA kicked off the start of New York Fashion Week with nothing but gorgeous dresses parading down the runway. The popular mini bandage dress made appearances in bright coral and rich purple with sheer insets. (I had to double check to make sure I wasn't at Herve Leger!) Designer Max Azria played with colorblocking with solids and abstract prints which reminded me of a Jackson Pollock painting or crashing waves on the beach. I'm looking forward to seeing the loose t-shirt dresses and asymmetrical hems in-stores and on our favorite celebs. As a matter of fact, two dresses are already available for purchase on the BCBG website! The models carried small clutches with big tassels hanging off which is definitely one of the next must-have party bags. As for hair and beauty, all the models had their straight hair tucked behind their ears with fresh and natural looking makeup. Click on my slideshow to see my favorite looks from the runway!
