There will be plenty of metallic fabrics, full skirts, and asymmetrical cuts coming this fall. These were the predominant trends at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York this week.
Diane von Furstenberg featured a collection described as “menswear meets femininity.” “I always say I’d love to have a man’s life in a woman’s body,” von Furstenberg explained before her show.
Christian Siriano pleasantly surprised us with a collection of ready to wear separates and cocktail dresses. This was a big change for the designer who is known for his extravagant ballgowns.
Of course we have to mention Naomi Campbell’s Fashion for Relief show on Friday night. Designers featured included Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, and Christian Dior. Celebrities to hit the runway included Kelly Osbourne, Dian Von Furstenberg, Donna Karan, and Chris Brown. The show ended with a moving tribute to Alexander McQueen with a collection of his designs worn by the show’s most well known models including Naomi Campbell.

Studio-808, Inc. is the brainchild of Erin Creaney, a PR executive with a near-athletic enthusiasm for emerging designers. Finding herself searching the city for great designers with new and different looks, she knew a larger operation was in order. What's more, she felt the world needed to know about the fashion percolating in the Windy City. Thus was born Studio-808.com.
