Y's Best of Part Deux

Y's Best of Part Une

Y: My best of parts 1 and 2 will consist of my favorite moments of New York Fashion Week so far. I can see myself in each of these looks. Too many words to describe them, so I'll let the beautiful pieces speak for themselves. Maybe if I post them, I will wake up with those furry shorts, a studded shirt, a bucket hat, and that ridiculous TOO GOOD for words Marc by Marc Jacobs jean dress in my closet. A girl can dream.

Anna Sui F/RW 2010

Y: Anna Sui is my fashion roots. The first designer I ever fell in love with and possibly the reason I am the person I am today. I know this post should be about her latest show (which is amazing like always) but I always feel implied to mention just how much this woman means to me. Now to the clothes: impeccable, layers after layers of textures and patterns and leather and furs. She designs clothes for Anita Pallenberg backstage at a Rolling Stones concert circa 1969. Never a dull moment, and that's what fashion should be, no?

Y: Wow! My inner feather obsessed self is screaming. How fantastic are these looks? I don't even know where to begin! Those shoulders are unbelievable with those harems, that dress (or possibly skirt) out of those feathers is stunning I'd live the rest of my life in it, and lastly that dress with the feather shoulders and leather, I mean come on. My only suggestion would be to lose the hat. I get it, but it just isn't working to benefit the look. Otherwise, fashion at its finest.

A: Oh myyy!! I would absolutely love love love to have that feathered shoulder top and leather skirt in my closet. The black on black look is always a classic. I do definitely agree about losing the hat. It does nothing for me.

Calling all the fellas!

Y: I adoreee Boy's latest collection I really do! Very Holden Caulfield worthy. Fantastic separates for the men as well as possible steals for their girlfriends! PS: I had to add the last shot, purely because this is definitely the most modern looking suit I've seen for the young professional!

Cynthia Rowley Fall 2010 RTW

A: Now lets not forget about Cynthia Rowley. Her "chic monster-girl collection" has tons of LolaMonsters faves... Feathers, fringe and puffy jackets!!! Yum.
Y: The shoes are fantastic. It's fun and whimsical but I don't know it's kind of too much, not very chic. Is it the vibe? I'm not sure but she didn't really do it for me this time around. I appreciate the use of fringe and feathers though!

Are sweats making a comeback?

Y: I've never been a fan of sweats AT ALL but I have to admit Wayne makes them look good. Not really my thing, but when styled correctly like above they look comfortable and pretty fashionable. Loungers take note, they're far better then a Juicy tracksuit! PS: that gorgeous metallic jacket, sweatshirt, and fanny are pretty fantastic!
A: I'd rock the metallic jacket, sweatsuit and fanny pack any day! While we're at it, lets add some monster, black space boots. Briiing it.
