New York Fashion Week

Unless you have been living under a rock you will have noticed that for the last week it has been New York Fashion Week.

A whole host of designers debuted their spring/summer 2012 collections, giving us a preview of what we will be sporting come the spring.

I have had a look through the collections, wishing I was in New York to enjoy the shows in person, and chosen my favourite. It was pretty tough, Victoria Beckham has finally stepped away from the one safe shape that she has been falling back on and her show was a triumph and Marc Jacobs closed fashion week with a futuristic look at a 1920s speakeasy. However, for me the most perfect collection was shown by the Mulleavy sisters at Rodarte.


Over the last couple of years the sisters have become two of the most looked to women in fashion, with the stories behind their collection enjoyed almost as much as the clothes themselves. The sisters have stuck with a  natural theme, but this time drawn their inspiration from Van Gogh's Sunflowers. 

Here is my pick of their spring/summer looks. Enjoy!

Who Dressed Well This Week? Chloe Moretz

This week the stars have been pulling out all the stops to look their best on the front row at New York Fashion Week, so for Who Dressed Well I had my pick of more or less every celebrity in attendance! 

However there was one actress who managed to stand out backstage at the Calvin Klein show, Chloe Moretz.

 The fourteen year old actress (yes you read that correctly, fourteen! When I was fourteen I am pretty sure I thought shopping in Etam not Tammy Girl was an adventure, this lass is front row at New York Fashion Week) wowed in head to toe Calvin Klein. 

Major credit needs to be given to the starlet, this was her first trip to Fashion Week and she turned up looking this prim and proper! I also think she should be credited with dressing quite age appropriately, although very few fourteen year olds get the chance to wear Calvin Klein, she is not in sky high heels with a hemline to match. Well done Chloe!

Did you think anyone out-dressed Chloe this week?
