New York Fashion Week: FAULT Top Picks

Suitsupply

Sophisticatedly suited up…the line trailed down the block with slow stepping anticipation of the presentation that awaited us. A classic setting, warmth and polished with an endearing invitation to come stand a little closer, stay a little longer, linger for just a moment more. Gushed hearted red velvet blazers to finale close out jet black velvet. A story read from left to right and color hues transitioning to warming neutrals mixed with soft blues…the gentleman a most pleasant sight, hair delightfully dandy and they sat and stood, framed and poised. A suited Suitsupply of perfection.

CWST leads us in the direction of comfy grunge, wrapped and tethered with layered pieces for an unwrapping. The dissection of grunge with the models who sported stringy, ‘I could care less, just woke up out a bed hair locks.’ The day after makeup wake up of an all night party gone salty or sour and in a multitude of crossed paths. The uniform stripe and chunky plaid, the embedded pins to decorate, a coloring of paint brushes after having sat in a cup of water, mixed and muddled giving those dark and earthy hues with rich navy blues and the necessary tonal grey buffer that knits this easy flow, warm and too cool collection together.

That rhythm blues all intensive, 60s inspired harlem renaissance. David Hart set a bespoken decisive tone, introducing the musical notes that had you clinging to motown make moments. A lively presentation charmed with models as musicians playing the alluring saxophone and flute to draw you in and entice. Suits and separates, rich tones and carefree neutrals, mixed with chartered blues, no ordinary plaids and striped simplicity…All marking a confident and ever-so stylistic statement
