Costello Tagliapietra Fall 2015

The Costello Tagliapietra Fall Winter 2015 collection did take part in the 70’s trend, however, some of the overall outfits looked a little like Woody from Toy Story.  This woman is trying to be chic but knows nothing about fit, proportion, or silhouette.  Speaking of proportion and silhouette, looks like the light purple draped dress…

A sheer dress revealing a thong seems like it should catch Madonna’s eye.  A Fanny Messenger, a gorgeous grey pinstripe suit with long jacket, a sheer burnt copper dress with leather piping, unusual belting, and a unique off-the-shoulder necklace stood out of the collection.  Was there an ode to Stacy London of What Not to…

ZAC Zac Posen

Zac Posen, known for his gorgeous gowns, has seemingly watered down his designs for ZAC Zac Posen to the extent that they look like horrible dresses from the dust-bunny ridden back of the plus-size clearance section.  Other than the jackets, there’s absolutely nothing memorable or outstanding about the collection.

It was wise to shoot the collection in front of huge prints, because it made the photos look picturesque.  A black and white background, pale models in light creams and whites…the mop coat.  There’s an elegance and androgyny to the layered looks which is reminiscent of Ann Demeulemeester’s collections. The sleeves ending in fingerless gloves…

Rebecca Taylor Fall ’15

A gorgeous green contrast-sleeve coat precedes horrible board-shorts…  There is a very masculine tone to the styling of this collection: a shirt dress with karate belt, peach pants and combat boots? Who is this girl?  Do we Love Lust or Run? She’s ready to fight one moment, then dresses for her day job: librarian …Run!…

Gary Graham

Gary Graham’s Fall/Winter 2015 collection was dark, chic, and a muddled mess: this bag lady likes to wear it all at once. The asymmetrical velvet top was draped and cut uniquely, and created an illusion with the skirt matching the background.  The evolution of his jackets, from the first looking more close to the 70’s…

Derek Lam Fall/Winter 2015

  Derek Lam took the 70’s trend to an eerie place.  Marsha, Marsha, Mr. Rodgers?  Bold plaids on stiff textured sweaters and coats, a horrid blue jumpsuit… Basically, anything not cute about the 70’s was shown.  I am curious about the suit with the long jacket, but it’s covered by an atrocious sweater.  The picnic plaid with…
