Are you enjoying a last blast of summer weather (like Chicago is)? Skip right over fall and winter then, because today starts Fashion Week in NYC for Spring/Summer 2007. For the Friday Five, my five most anticipated shows:
1. Narciso Rodriguez Consistent vision, beautifully constructed clothes.
2. Carolina Herrera Beautiful dresses (love all the ribbons she’s been working into designs of late). And so elegant!
3. Oscar de la Renta Somehow, he makes over-the-top ornamentation look wearable.
4. Vera Wang I got married right before the cult of Vera Wang began, but love her wedding designs. I always check to see what she’s thinking for ready-to-wear.
5. Martin Grant LOVE his stuff. Elegant, yet minimal, and retro – all at the same time.
If you are tempted to check out some shows, my preferred sites are Style.com and New York Magazine. Have fun, and think spring! See you Monday.
