Some funk, alot of class, sheerness, layers, length and slanting stripes
are making Fashion Week New York the bi-annual event everyone expected
it to be. What's new? For starters, there are a record number of shows
-- 54 to be exact. Second, there are lots of trends. Cleavage is out and
fishtail hemlines, gold chain mail, and bare shoulders and backs are in.
And, unlike years past, not as prevalent is the truly outrageous. That
may be due in large part to the excellence of the week's designs.
They're good enough, in fact, that dressing models in tin foil and
cardboard with hairdos like that of the creature in the movie "Predator"
aren't needed to get attention. That's not to say there aren't some
vintage outrages cropping up here and there. Some of the press found
Versace's Versus black satin pants raunchy. Others thought Betsey
Johnson was too "earthy" with her bold, new collection. But there's
plenty of conservatism as well. In fact, the majority of the 5,000
outfits shown, and to be shown, seem a bit more grounded, according to
SUPERMODEL.COM's correspondents. There are lots of colors and multiple
shapes, such as those seen on Linda Evangelista (pictured).
