Yes, it’s that time again. Last Friday the 13th kicked off the bi-annual Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week flashing us a sneak peek of what fall 2009 has in store for our closets. We’re a bit more than half way through the see-and-be-seen event, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with what NYC had presented us with so far.
Charlotte Ronson (beloved twin sister of none other than one of our favorite celesbians, Samantha Ronson) was part of the kick-off last Friday, debuting her collection for future frigid weather. Either Samantha’s lesbi-onic influence has more of an effect on Charlotte’s designs than we had hoped or dreamed for, or plaid is just hanging on strong all the way through next fall.
Whatever the reason, I’m glad Ronson saw the light. She’s also leaving some room for those who don’t need their clothes to cling in order to feel snappy, even in her runway showcase. It’s also nice to see a touch of tweed here and there because there’s no way I’ll ever be over that material.
Diane von Furstenberg, otherwise lovingly known as “DVF” for those of you who have trouble pronouncing her tongue twister of a German name, also socked it to us by sprinkling plaid into her fall 2009 collection. Known for her dazzling dresses, she showed the fans what a veteran is capable of — and that would be straight up wowing the crowd.
