It must be nice having beautiful, famous friends. Full disclosure– I have sort of a crush on Zooey Deschanel, mostly for her acting (if you haven’t seen All the Pretty Girls, you should), also for what seems to be her own style, AND because she is so darn beautiful. So, when earlier this week, designer Erin Fetherston began her show with the lovely Ms. Deschanel’s singing the standard, “Dream A Little Dream,” you know I was going to be predisposed to like it. (I think that was the point.) The song helped set the mood for a lovely, starry show filled with a lot of floating clothes.
She showed mostly dresses and coats, with shapes that weren’t new- bell skirts, smocks, 3/4 length bell sleeves– mostly in muted grey, silver, white and black. But they were quite beautiful in person. What I liked the most were these chiffon or organza veils or capes attached to some of the later dresses; she did them in these beautiful peacock, botanical, and floral patterns. Perhaps they are more like a short train attached to the sides and along back a few of her dresses.
I loved all the little cloche caps on the girls. . . Plus, I just adore Erin Fetherston: she’s always so darn cute!
i loved this show. i loved the color palette and the little caps and the everything. it was magical in a good way.
I have to say I didn’t like this collection at all. I thought amongst the sea of newcomers or semi-newcomers showing at New York Fashion week this was one of the weakest. i think other designers’ captured the Fall season better and had a better point of view. I am hoping for much better for Spring 2008.
ive liked past collections better than what i saw for fall. but i like the performance part- thats cool.
i think the show sounds like a dream, and i bet it was so lovely in person.
