Well, New York Fashion Week wrapped on Thursday and if you’ve been following it you probably noticed some major trends within the first few days (sheers, minimalism, (enough already, guys!) white-on-white). I was most excited by all of the red I saw particularly because it mostly came in that orangey-red I’ve been going on about lately. (Be sure to click these photos to enlarge) I’ll be interested to see if this affinity for red carries over in London, Milan, and Paris. Oh, and I did notice quite a bit of the red and tan combo popping up too

There is an opulent softness to Mandy Coon’s clothing that keeps me from dismissing it as more of the same gothic frippery that’s been dominating fashion circles for the past few years. Yeah, there’s lots of black and black leather, and chains but it’s nicely tempered with a milky peach toned silk, chunky knits, and humour in the shape of a crushed velvet bunny bag. Her silhouettes aren’t aggressively hard-edged and I think that’s what makes the difference
