The not so good at New York Fashion Week: Orange fur, acid wash, and how everyone wants us to live in the '80s
editor
Shine editor Joanna and I were talking this morning about how just kind of "bleh" Fashion Week has been, how you can really feel how toned down everything is because of the recession and how we both wonder if maybe designers should have saved money and just skipped this season. Other fashion editors have been talking about how powerful all of the clothes are, how these are tough designs for tough times. While it's true that there's a certain Dynasty meets Tron vibe happening—we've seen tons of black leather, space age metallic fabrics, hoods, and over-the-top '80s-office outfits—that doesn't mean many of these pieces are attractive or something you'd actually want to wear. And that's kind of sad. Anyway, here's the bad news first. We'll round up the best of Fall '09 at the end of the week.

Report AbuseNone of this is RTW. You're not expected to wear this stuff. Fashion shows are simply to produce art and show craftsmanship. This is architecture, art, science, philosophy and emotions put on a model and not what you would find in your local Macy's. I'm not a fan of alot of this either but these comments about not wearing any of this aren't needed since you're not expected to.

Report AbuseI had to do a double take a couple times to see if I was looking at Men's Fashion or Women's... Half the Models look like Transvestites. Its not bad enough the clothes are hideous...let make the Gorgeous Models look like homeless men... yikes.
