With Fall '11 New York Fashion Week well underway I've routed through the collections and picked out the best of the bunch so far. The overview of the shows so far inform us that Grunge is coming back strong with a twist of glamour thrown in for a new take on the trend. Although I believe the best is still yet to come, Alexander Wang, Mandy Coon and Prabal Gurung are leading the way to our new Autumn/Winter fashion wardrobe.
Alexander Wang never fails to impress and this collection is no exception. This black and grey collection is highlighed with flashes of pink to set the tone of a dark winter. Both functional and fashionable with oversized pockets and padding mixed with feminine combinations of silks and fur detailing. This collection will carry every girl through the cold winter weather.
Mandy Coons collection brings a gothic-grunge take on the Grunge trend. Her emphasis on line is created using leather and structured fabrics in a black, red and green colour palette emphasise the simple silhouettes creating clean, strong structures.
Prabal Gurung brought to the table a new take on red carpet glamour. Glamorous dresses teamed with hard-edged leather gloves and sliced tights give a 1980's Madonna styling to the collection adding another designer to the grunge fan base. Combining a mixture of fabrics and textures this stand out from the crowd collection will either be a hit or miss among fashion lovers. It's miss-matched grouping and styling is not for the light hearted however I am definitely a fan and will gladly accept the challenge of glamming up grunge this coming fall.
