Fashion Week Update


Fashion Week News:

--Patchwork and ponchos: One is so hot, the other is not. Fully embracing the softer bohemian styles that first started to emerge for spring, designers Esteban Cortazar and Catherine Malandrino relied heavily on patchwork prints for their fall collections, which were previewed Sunday during New York Fashion Week.

Meanwhile, the shapeless - and, by now, ubiquitous - poncho has been absent from the Bryant Park tents in midtown Manhattan. It's been replaced by long, slouchy cardigans and short, boxy jackets, which were particularly well done by Tracy Reese, who used brocade and printed fabrics for her portrait collar versions.

--If designer Richard Tyler has his way, everyone will be dressing like chic flight attendants next fall. The Los Angeles-based Tyler used his runway show, held Friday as New York Fashion Week, as a showcase for the uniforms he's designed for Delta Air Lines.

Some of the fashion editors and retailers in the audience might at first have had difficulty making the connection between uniforms and the styles that will set the trends for fall. But the taffeta wrap dresses, black reversible hooded coat and double-breasted dress in navy stretch wool made believers out of many.

You Said

Thank God the poncho is gone. They looked like crap in the '60s and still do.

I agree Nanc. I have been railing against that for months.
