THE TRENDSETTER

On September 11, 2007, Kanye West fiance Alexis Phifer debuted her NEW line under the Bryant Park tent. Phifer’s line is called “Ghita”. During an interview with Fox 5 News. She said Kanye is a big influnces in her creations and visa versa. She said that they basically feed ideas off of each other.

Phifer’s inspiration was all 80’s with a modern twist. Her basic color palette was neon green and pinks were the accent colors. Her fabric content was mainly plastic. Ghita is sold at Intermix, Henry Bendel, and coming soon to Saks .

The minute I find some more pictures of her collection I will post it.

Zac Posen Spring 2008 Collection

Zac Posen Spring collection took place on September 11, 2007 in NYC. Posen collection is, “Days of Heaven, the shakers the wheat fields of the Great Plains.” This was the opposite of what Zac usually does. The collection started out with a long vest with skinny pants. As the collection processed the hues stayed monotone with whites and khakis; the silhouettes were simple. Then there was a burst of colors yellow, blue, and red. Toward the end of the collection Zac added these big, beautiful dresses with a unique florescent print. The dresses had a ton of details with beautiful stitch work especially the ones with the huge puffed sleeve.

I really enjoyed looking at Zac’s collection, he was definitely showing off his creativity in every way possible. It’s always nice to look through the designers eyes and feel what they feel.

Marc by Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs collection took place on September 11, 2007. Jacobs collections seemed like military meets toy solider. The color scheme was all over from navy blues, to brown, to yellow. His collection had pegged pants, shirt dresses, pantsuits and different variations of coats and jackets. The popular fabric is corduroy, cottons, and silks.

In my opinion, this was definitely a Marc Jacobs collection from beginning to end.

Monique Lhuillier

Monique show took place on September 11, 2007 in NYC. Monique said, “I wanted to embrace femininity.” And that’s exactly what she did. The fabric used was silk, chiffon, and organza. The popular hues were champagne, black, and silver with a hint of polka dot prints.

Lhuiller collection had lots of gathers and ruffles with lovely draping techniques. In my opinion her collection was extremely strong, there was so many beautiful pieces. I love the limitation of color while the details improved with each garment. She is definitely at her prime and giving other designers a run for their money.

Betsy Johnson Spring Collection 2008

Betsy Johnson Collection took place on September 11, 2007. Betsy said, “Life is just a prom. No matter what she’s wearing, she can’t get out of her prom state of mind.”

Johnson collection main influence was the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. Here pieces were high waisted with layers of chiffon, lace, and sequins. Betsy said she didn’t care if she was bashed for this collection because it was something that she had to do. In my opinion I kind of expect something like this from Betsy. She extremely artistry and creative; this collection has Betsy written all over it. This collection was enjoyable and well throughout.
