Kristin Brady Pushes The Edge Of Sexy With Her New KTG Line

DIY thing on сен 30, 2009 2:25 PM PDT

Kristin Brady redefines what it is to be sexy with her clothing line KTG. Kristin does not employ methods of western tailoring such as zippers, buttons, or hook and eye. Instead, KTG utilizes an approach akin to sculpture. All Kristin's designs are handmade in her California studio. Organic and asymmetrical, the Apron Dress is sure to be the right choice for dinner and the theater. If you are looking to go the sexy route, then the Brown with Applique piece is definitely your dress of choice. Check out the slideshow to see more of Kristin's work.

New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Zac Posen

Despite being moved from his usual prime-time spot in Bryant Park's main tent, Zac Posen's Spring/Summer 2010 show hardly suffered in the slightly quieter Altman Building -- even at 9 in the morning. His assortment of party frocks (with a couple relaxed pantsuits thrown into the mix) seemed even more youthful and fun in the building's less stuffy surroundings, and with the collection's refreshing prints and energetic color combinations -- lime with fuchsia, lemon yellow with salmon pink -- Posen couldn't have started the morning off on a livelier note! While the designer is always expected to show off a gaggle of fun cocktail dresses every season, this particular selection somehow seemed especially modern and unique -- maybe due to its overall futuristic stewardess/Judy Jetson vibe. And to amp up the flirt factor, he even embellished certain ensembles with metallic lip print cut-outs, a detail that served like a cherry on top of a super-chic sundae. Take a gander at the slideshow for a peek at the collection!

Trends: colorblocked dresses, cut-outs, interlocking patterns, asymmetrical hemlines, mirror embellishments, stewardess-inspired
