NYC Fashion Week Begins!

OK quick post before I go to Bedfordshire (Look it up, totes Bridget quote) about the first day of NYC Fashion Week.

So what early trends are starting to emerge? Well, I'd say loose shapes, fine floral prints, flashes of colour and a milky palette base used in shirts, skirts and jackets were apparent in many of the shows today.

BCBGMAXAZRIA tops my list for day one with the dreamy pale blue and grey oversized dresses, with cut out floral panels featuring heavily.

Zac Posen comes a close second with his delicate dainty dresses and pyjama inspired collection.

All in all a stellar start, bring on day two!

Countdown to NYC Fashion Week begins!

The next month will be a blur. A fashionable, crazy coloured blur as New York, London, Milan and Paris unveil their visions for SS14, just as we close the door on SS13.

It's confusing looking at Spring fashion in Autumn I grant you, but the thrill of getting ahead of the game and knowing what will be in style near enough nine months before anyone else, more than makes up for it.

New York Fashion Week kicks off on 5th September finishing on the 12th before handing the baton to London.

I'll be making sure I have a front row seat (at my laptop of course!) for the Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Badgley Mischka, Zac Posen and Betsey Johnson shows this season for sure!

Highly exciting stuff I'm sure you'll agree. Keep an eye out for my runway reports as they unfold, but until then sit back, relax and enjoy the build up. I know I will :-)
