Badgley Mischka, Nanette Lepore, Philip Lim: New York Fashion Week Spring 2012
At Badgley Mischka, Mark Badgley and James Mischka sent a juxtaposition of colorful fabrics down the runway...linen, taffeta and brocade mixed with jersey and chiffon in structured silhouettes. More color and we are talking Neon at Nanette Lepore, with electrifying pinks, oranges and yellows on dresses, skirts and bathing suits. Gossip Girl star, Kelly Rutherford says, "I always feel beautiful in her clothes." More subdued at 3.1 Philip Lim. The designer went for a neutral palette of sorbet colors on free and flowly looks --all inspired by kites. The look of the season? It's all about sportswear and a hard edgy metallic eye!
