NY Fashion Week SS10 | PREEN

Having a look at the first major designer of the New York Shows the word is “muted”. Soft pale greys, white and black showing not a lot of colour around for the summer. Preen known for tight body con rock chic dresses, had beautifully tailored pants in silver and pale greys. Structured drainpipe cuts will look great on taller women.

Summer whites looked stylish and elegant and will suit anyone with a tan. Loosely fitted shapes make these easy to wear from beach to high street. Skirts remain above the knee. Fab shoes, these are super elegant and very flattering.

I loved the black geometric print dresses they are on my wish list. The shift dress here is such a great classic wearable for work and play. This dress will still look nice in years to come. Great investment buy.

NYFW SS10 | Vena Cava

I first heard of Vena Cava on the infamous Gossip Girl through Blake Lively who donned a gorgeous romper by the label. I was hooked. At NYFW, they did not disappoint. Designers Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai showcased stellar designs at the Brooklyn-based Milk Studios. "The Vena Cava girl is wearing luxury accessories like a quirky art dealer, not like a lady who lunches." Rightly said, and holds true for the show. There was everything from acid washed pieces in deep browns, fierce orange laser-cut tops and empire waist cuts revamped. There was even a zipper front dress, which immediately forced me to covet. Silver crepe blazers, pyramid studs, safety pin details (yep, you heard that right), bustiers and LBD's galore. Where the fabrics are concerned, georgettes and chiffons ruled the runway. There was some amazing eyewear to boot, as well. Peresol, I hear. They were wearing armfuls of Tiffany and Co. (Tiffany!) and Elsa Peretti.The notoriously wearable label is at it again.

Fashion Week Diary | NIMA SS10 Preview

Yesterday I headed west to Jack Studios for NIMA's Spring/Summer 2010 presentation. The presentation in itself was rather confusing but every piece of the collection is simply stunning. I adore the color palette as well as the shapes. NIMA is known for structure and elegance and those two elements are extremely evident in his fabulous designs. We will showcase more of NIMA in the coming season, stay tuned. -Mimi
