Fall 2006: New York #7

As the cheesy song says “You went and saved the best for last”, well they did at NY Fashion Week anyway:

Calvin Klein

All I have to say is that Francisco Costa has a beautiful way with fabric, cutting his way from casual comfort…

…to inventive tops that can be worn from day to evening …

…and stunning evening dresses…

…in fabrics that are so incredible they make your heart ache.

Vera Wang

Vera is definitely the US’s answer to Miuccia Prada…

…willing to try new fabric treatments and combinations…

...whilst maintaining the elegance her clients rely on.

Vivienne Tam

Great print and tweed combination...and strapless tweed dress…

… an attractive if unorthodox blue and beige combination
…and a beautifully cut evening dress…

…oh and 1 jacket in 2 beautiful jewel tones.

Zac Posen

A Flannel print for the glamorous in lustrous silk…

…the closest NY comes to couture is Zac Posen, chic cuts all the way from day…

...to evening looks ranging from prim to experimental edge...
