The Good The Bad and The Ugly

New York Fashion Week ended last friday, giving us time this week to contemplate on the collections we really loved…and those not so much. Fall 2010 RTW brought us a lot of great pieces from designers like Christian Siriano, Diane Von Furstenberg and Isaac Mizrahi. Metallics, colored tights, cowl necklines, neutrals, and feathers all made appearances on the runways for fall. Here’s our Fall 2010 picks for the good, the bad and the ugly:

The Good: Mackage

Well played, Mackage. We’re big fans of the blouse, belt, pencil skirt combination. We love how the neutrals in this outfit really complement each other.


The Bad: Davidelfin

Davidelfin, why are you putting men in tights? Especially bright yellow ones. We don’t see a reason for this outfit to ever be worn in public. Individually, the pieces could be salvageable for the average man, specifically the blazer, dress shirt and perhaps the yellow turtle neck. The rest of it, however, best be left to the daring or confined to the comforts of your own home!


The Ugly: Thom Browne

No. That pretty much sums up our feelings on this one. Thom Browne, how many raccoons were harmed in the making of this individual outfit? We’re hoping no retailers have purchased it for mass production. The shirt, scarf and pants all individually have their own collection of tails and we’re not sure that this would bring extra warmth on a brisk fall day, but we are certain that you would get a lot of unfavorable looks in your direction. If shock factor in your everyday wardrobe is what you’re going for, perhaps this is for you. Just keep it out of our sight.
