New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010:

New York for this season exemplified the concept of merry pastels to cut-out paper doll shift dresses. Pastel colors filled the runways of Michael Kors in hues of sea-foam green and baby blue, with Oscar de la Renta exploring the safari girl of the 40’s meets 20’s in shades of lilac and mint green done in silk gazar. Extraordinarily designers were once again optimistic to the worsening news, tuning to Lady Gaga and her defiance to be who she is. Vera Wang unveiled her collection in here newly installed boutique, only to find a fabulous plethora of stark minimalism in back-draped dresses with sparkling jewels and knotted necklaces. Younger designers like Zac Posen chose to step out of the much traditional Bryant Park into smaller venues, where rose pink pastel dominated the catwalk. It’s a black and white moment for women. You wear shorts or pants, or the above the knee dresses. Skirts are out for the fashion divas this season. You’re a robot now in these times, so pump up the look with Lucite cuffs and oversized beads or bib necklaces.
