So, while everyone
during NYFW is either doing ruffles, milkmaid dresses, shock and awe or just
clothes for the sake of clothes here we have Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia who have
actually done a collection that is exquisitely rendered, well thought out, and as an extra
added attraction these are clothes you
can actually imagine people lusting for and wearing! TAH DAH!

NYFW has
evolved into a sort of freak show that can sit beside London in terms of oddities
and eccentricities and just plain over the top look at me clothes. Salability
and customer appeal have flown out the window and shopping for a new client every
season has flown in. Lest I forget, the plethora of collections that will only
be seen once and never again heard from for obvious reasons.

How can it
be that this team build an immaculate collection of clothes for women… an
ageless and timeless yet beautiful and in keeping with the legacy of the
eponymous designer. While not a great fan of that pouf high low hem, they have managed
to make it easier to digest by not making it the only silhouette they offer. The
fireworks and Vin Gogh embroideries are perfection as are some of the
confections of fringe and tulle and satin. They took you from day to night with
lust worthy coats, dresses and separates to extravagant evenings; clothes you
might actually see on the street.

Favorites included
the grey flannel pants and coat, the palette and one every so understated black
pants and sweater with beadwork on the sleeves. They ran the gamut from minimal
to beautifully and so tastefully embellished. They seemingly accomplished what
has eluded so many others by serving up a lesson on good taste and fashion as
it should be without all the bells and whistles and gimmicks.

I unapologetically
say KUDOS to Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia for showing the world that NYFW is
not filled only with amateurs and designers whose sole aim is to attract
attention for all the wrong reasons...

Yay you!
PS.. at one
point I was a bit nervous that they went a little to fat
towards Pierpaolo but that worry was quickly assuaged!
