“It’s more of a weird frat party, Burning Man, shores-of-Gotham City sort of beach scene. It’s a lovely nightmare, or it was for me anyway.” And this, more interestingly: “I didn’t want the cliché of Spring and Summer, I wanted it to be about girls who have no problem coming to work in a Victorian gown and Birkenstocks” said Marc Jacobs about his SS14 collection that with grace closed the New York Fashion Week. The venue was amazing- a huge, huge place, that reminded of something like a beach apocalypse- beach chairs, towels, sand, trees, cigarettes were lying in chaos everywhere. The models (the set of them was really impressive) were for example Cara Delevigne who flew straight from London through Atlantic to walk the runway for Marc and comeback on London Fashion Week… Sky Ferreira (!!!), Edie Campbell, Lily Mcmenamy, Georgia May Jagger and Hanne Gaby were also here. Coming back to collection, Marc Jacobs broke all the rules of the SS14 but in a good way- when everybody were into pure minimalism and pale clothes, MJ slapped it, with a print, embroidery and colour bomb- in a much darker colour than I expected. The clothes were inpired with Victorian era, widow weeds and some 21st century- birkenstocks again rocked the runway just like funny backpack totes! Definitely, that was one of these “weird” parties I would love to come…

Milestone. Calvin Klein SS14
Yuppy! Francisco Costa celebrates the tenth anniversary at helm of Calvin Klein! It is a milestone, so no wonder his guests (Rooney Mara!), new venue and the after-party reflected with huge echo during the NYC Fashion Week! As you could observe on my blog, I have never been a huge fan of Calvin Klein, but this season Francisco impressed me with this season. The light dresses with these cool elements that flow in the air while moving are just perfect for dancing and these wide trousers… oh, so cool! The mixture of colours was also very interesting- white, mint green and pastel pink. What should I say more- LOVE IT!

Mars Attack. Jeremy Scott SS14

Definitely, this is the season of light colours, virgin dresses and flowless skirt. But as always, the enfant terrible of fashion break the rules. And it is all about Mr. Jeremy Scott. Well, I expected the collection will be really up to the Jeremy world, full of prints, sexiness and colours. But… I also expected that Scott will shock a bit. But he didn’t. The collection “Teenagers from Mars” sounds crazy and I felt like it will be a really god collection. However it was very classical converting to Jeremy’s style- in other words, the colour and the print in the key. And the funny quotes that appear already like fifth time in his collections and start to be predictable. Bikini’s, mini skirts and cropped tops exposed most parts of body, so Jeremy Scott definitely invites his models to wear this summer than normal women. Fashion from perspective of Scott meant to be fun, but it starts to be SO MONOTONE. Only the guest list is changing- this time we saw Nicki Minaj in the front row. Yay?
Boring. Reed Krakoff SS14
The SS14 at Reed was… hmm, like every Reed Krakoff collection for Summer. And that means- boring. It felt too classical with all these boudoir dresses in white colours and the mix of beige and lime… well it look cool in Zara, but not on the runway in at the end of the New york Fashion Week! Common, Reed, fashion has to be a bit more fun… I respect your aestethics, but why don’t you do something a bit more shocking than three looks with this neon coour from last season? Should that be the New York classical chic? Oh, no. Then I prefer a Michael Kors bomb than this collection that would be better for Resort….

Simple. Proenza Schouler SS14
For me, the Guggenheim Museum in New York is a place for inspiration hunting. Not only art there makes your imagination work, but also the architecture of this building- the spiral, white interior of Guggenheim is one of the most beautiful thing in NYC. And, I don’t know why, but it feels to me that the Proenza Schouler designer duo had their beautiful collection influenced with this magnificient place! The show venue of the collection of PS SS14 collection was happening in a typical NY loft. It started with delicate leather coats, then changed into some very Proenza prints and ended up with metallic skirts and tops. I should say I really like the mature version of Proenza Schouler- the 10 year old label changes dramatically from a toxic-coloured-and-neon-printed-amazon-frog-girl into a beautiful, New York lady that adors to walk every morning to Central Park and fancies a dance in one of the New York’s hottest lobster bars… In other words, the clothes, shoes (that are pretty funny) and bags from that Summer collection at Proenza Schouler are simply beautiful! This is the New New York Look!
