Lorick S/S 2010 Presentation

Due to the weather a last minute change to the Tribeca Grand Hotel didn't stop the crowd from viewing Abigial Lorick's collection. Three Mediums the theme of the presentation with an artist there painting the girls on a portait as they posed for the fashionista crowd. There were three sittings titled, The Watercolor, The Pastel and The Acrylic. I really enjoyed the abstract prints that was used throughout the collection or the various sittings to the pencil skirts to the full skirts mixing with crop jackets to tailored shirts the whole portait was absolutely feminine.

Alexander Michael Snyder S/S 2010 Fashion Show

Frida Kahlo's presence was definitely felt at Alexander Michael Snyder's debut show as the models graced the yellow catwalk showing off his spring 2010 collection. Inspired by the Mexican artist, the textures were impressive, the colors were dramatic, and the looks were polished and mature. The runway was filled with high collars, big shoulders, girly yet sophisticated lace, and bright teal and yellow leggings. Sheer materials and skinny belts made the collection sexy and modern, as well as traditional with a matronly feel. With romantic flowers wrapped into loose braids, the show took on a renaissance-like feel. Snyder may just be on to something here and we can't wait to try it out come spring. From the look on the faces of the designer's close friends in the audience, he did them proud. Job well done.
