New York –
Michael Kors' usual pretty and refined lady-like look morphed into a point-counterpoint about soft and hard - architecture and draping - in his Spring 2010 collection, which he showed on Wednesday, Sept. 16 in New York. Mixed with an austere color palette of cool pastels, the result was a new downtown direction for Kors, generally known for sophisticated sportswear for the uptown set.
Kors opened with a sharply cut white leather shift

Tinseltown evening gowns are shimmering and flowing on New York fashion runways this week as many designers shed the stiff, formal styles of seasons past.
From established powerhouses such as Badgley Mischka to newcomer Christian Siriano, the spotlight is on evening wear fit for Hollywood stars on red carpets and socialites hosting charity events.
Elegant, easygoing gowns of sleek silk chiffon and draped jersey are

Leave it to Oscar de la Renta to save uptown fashion, in a challenging season for establishment chic. His spring 2010 collection presented Wednesday, Sept. 16, in New York, was an impressive, options-packed tour de force, and a welcome reminder that classy dressing can also be innovative fashion.
De la Renta generously listed his six design assistants in his program notes, a rare piece of noblesse oblige in fashion. One understands why,

All the world is circus, or at least it is in Marc Jacob's universe these days. Pale faced clowns, modernist Geisha gals, Fellini femme fatales and a saucy high wire troupe all appeared in his latest collection, presented Monday evening, Sept. 14, in New York.
Unveiled before an audience that included Madonna with her boyfriend Jesus Luz and Lady Gaga, whose music was the soundtrack of the show, the collection was theatrical, absurdist
NEW YORK (Reuters) –
The U.S. recession may have made consumers cautious about spending, but they are not playing it safe when it comes to fashion, say buyers for top department stores.
Retail fashion directors told Reuters that as the spring and summer collections for 2010 are unveiled at fashion shows in New York this week, they are watching for bright colors, "wow" pieces and versatile styles to satisfy their customers.

Vera Wang titled her Spring 2010 collection "Partying with Poiret," referring to early twentieth century French designer Paul Poiret, who emancipated women from constrictive undergarments with loosely draped dresses and pants. "Poiret, not literally, but in my heart, like the way he partied all the time and he loved to throw parties," said Wang after the show in her bright white boutique in downtown New York on Tuesday, Sept. 15.
NEW YORK (Reuters) –
Baggy jeans and oversized T-shirts used to be everywhere from the city streets to the runways of designer labels, but these days sportswear and urban lines are looking to create new, niche looks.
Urban labels, traditionally inspired by city youth culture and underground music, say they want to reinvigorate a streetwear look that grew too mainstream, corporate and overcrowded with brands by music stars such as Sean "Diddy"
Whether thigh-high or just over the knee, tall boots took the runways by storm. More wearable than you might think, try wear these leg lengthening lovelies with leggings or opaque tights and mini skirts or tunic length tops. Still not brave enough? Under-the-knee and ankle boots are still hot.
Q. I've been stuck in a jeans and t-shirt rut since university and have finally decided that enough is enough. I have some perfectly nice clothes that I've never worn because I don't know how to put together outfits. I also have a lot of questions, but I'll just go with this one for now.

Whitney Port must really love her Prada bag because she reaches for it again and again during the year. The girl worked at DVF, plus she has her own fashion line and she makes a lot of money from her MTV show, The City. So she could certainly get her hands on another handbag. NEW YORK – OK, so it's not a conventional a love story, but the Alexander Wang tough-chick muse has found herself a jock. On the runway Saturday, that plot thickened into sweatshirt-leather combos that surely will be considered among the most trendsetting looks at New York Fashion Week.

Taking advantage of the versatility of a nearly nude tone called blush, Siriano began his show demonstrating his artistic nature

Brazilian couturier Carlos Miele channeled the tropics of his homeland for Spring 2010 on Monday, Sept. 14, at fashion week in New York as a setting sun backdrop and burnt toned lights set the mood.
Beginning his show with a novel twist, Miele had three models walk to the end of the runway and gesture playfully at each other as two of the women signaled the third model in an ombre pink chiffon mini dress to start the show.

For a young designer, having a collection at New York's Fashion Week is usually a sign that they've made it.
But for those launching a career during the nation's worst recession in 70 years, even a runway show at the celebrated semi-annual event is not a guarantee of employment.

NEW YORK – Designers at New York Fashion Week, faced with a grim national mood, looked for a solution far, far away.
Vacation destinations — both exotic and less so — were the inspiration for countless collections for spring 2010, which was in its seventh day of previews on Wednesday. If most people are left with "staycations" these days, at least they can take a visual journey.
