New York Fashion Week: my only favorites...

Fashion week felt really somber. Maybe its just me, but everything felt and looked a tad conservative. Whats happening? Richard Chai's selections looked as bland and pasty as the models wearing them. Max Azria's BCBGMAXAZRIA collection looked like everything was dipped in beige. Seriously...I know its the fall collection but where's the flair, the sheen, the plaids atleast?!

But nonetheless, a few designers got it right. Here are my two favorite picks:

Duckie Brown!
Design duo Steven Cox and Daniel Silver produced yet another beautiful collection reflecting their punk rock meets urban chic vibe. Their signature heavy scarves weren't as visible as their past shows but naturally made an appearance. I fell in love with their multicolored microtweed selections! Absolutely gorgeous. My only complaint were their seemingly "too late" moment with their plaid selections. Sorry guys, but its not 2007!


MIK CIRE by ERIC KIM
If you thought Monarchy had an edgy attitude, you've got to see Designer Eric Kim's Mik Cire label! Made for a true rocknrolla, Mik Cire's collection is a resounding echo of Kim's badass approach to look. Its rough, raw but at the same time refined. His tight-fitted biker jackets, waxed zipper jeans and knee high boots reflect the attitude you'll only find in a 1%er biker bar. Acompany to style was the impeccable sheen of the clothing. I may be bias here, but if it shines, i want it!


Well lets not be too judgy yet. Still waiting for an AWE moment which might not arrive till maybe the Paris Fashion week but I will keep you all posted!
