Michael Costello’s collection was black and grey and
metallic all over. I loved the scandalous sky-high slits he also featured in
his spring collection. The makeup and hair seemed to be inspired by the
Japanese; this included winged eyeliner, bright red lip, and dark statement
eyebrows. The hair featured a bizarre Teletubbie bun paired with a tail-like
ponytail. The body-hugging dresses, cutouts, shoulder pads, fur, and
over-the-knew boots were somehow tasteful and chic which made me love this bold
collection.

“Blood and Sand” inspired Badgley Mischka’s
collection, a movie from the 40s, which explains the Hollywood glamour of
complex, elegant patterns, silhouette shapes, and lace tights. The collection
featured very royal colors including deep red, dark grey, plum, and golden
yellow. The models had a uniform loose half up 60’s beehive hairstyle to add to
the glamorous sequined accents. This was a very retro collection that even gave
me a Victorian Era impression.
Tory Burch’s collection featured Moroccan vibes with the
prints featured. I loved the mahogany
and burnt red and orange colors she combined. There were fringe accents on the
belts, purses and sandals that added to the ethnic feel. I really loved the
off-white flowy gown with a necktie, this reminded me of the uniform of a
Moroccan queen.
Happy Fashion Week!
