Dreamiest Week of September: NY Fashion Week - Part 4 / Fin

Look, if there's one thing you need to know about Spring/Summer 2012 it's this:
WHITE.

At first I thought I was imaging things because I'm obsessed with white dresses, which I think started when I saw Natalie Wood in West Side Story. (Seriously, my current Spring/Summer wardrobe is 70% white -- ask my friends/family).

But then on day 3 of NY Fashion Week I knew I wasn't imagining things -- there were collections that were Only white (I'm talking to you Gregory Parkinson, my new obsession and love).


To make sense of it all I started with my trusty inspirations from the National Gallery.

This is what I discovered:

Grecian Gowns













Voluminous Details










Classic, Modest, Minimal All Around


Luann, I mean L'Wren Scott






Sheer Sheer Sheer








Babydoll Dresses




Lace


Minis


Initially I was proud of myself for narrowing down the number of looks to 200. It pained me to get it to 100 and I gave up any hope of happiness when I went down to 50. I settled for 3o mostly because I wasn't sure blogger could handle any more awesomeness. Oscar de la Renta and Ralph Lauren in particular were really hard to narrow down.

Here were a few more:










I mean, if Thom Browne is doing an all-white look,
you know it means something.


Get ready for the White on White once the warmer months roll around.

Dreamiest Week of September: NY Fashion Week

Last week as I was walking around the National Gallery I decided to snap photos of paintings that would showcase trends for next Spring/Summer 2012 (according to New York Fashion Week).

I started with this sexy gem, because I am not done with loud prints and I think the designers would agree.

Bingo!















Actually, when I wear loud prints it's not as pants. Rarely. Never, even. Hmm, we'll see if I want to test this one out next year. But, maybe I'll be so inundated with editorial stories with tall skinny girls, dancing around Morocco in these clothes I'll be happy to try them out.
