A handful of my friends are involved in Fashion Week every year and while I planned to weave in one fashion blog post a week, technology, as always, always seems to take over. In full force this past week in New York, Fashion Tribes covered the annual event extensively. Spendora also does a comprehensive round-up.
Isaac Mizrahi’s Fall 2007 “Frozen Spring” Collection is an interesting mix of knits, slouchy and sexy dresses, wild dashing prints and as they describe it, “a trapeze coat in a hue dubbed Psychopeach, which apparently was a crowd favorite.
He says, “I call it Frozen Spring because I couldn’t bring myself to do heavy coats and heavy sweaters. Even though there are sweaters and coats in the collection that will keep you warm, I feel like they’re year round and seasonless; the way I made these big springtime-looking prints fall’ish was by giving them these fur petticoats.” And he seems to weave these in throughout his collection. Check out a few fun examples below.
