L'Oreal Fashionweek Wrap Up
Thursday was officially the last day of shows for L’Oreal Fashionweek’s Fall 2008 Collections. I was able to catch GSUS, Paul Hardy and Rudsack and I have to say it was an amazing lineup! By the time the Rudsack show came on I can quite honestly tell you I didn't want the night to end.
The GSUS show was undoubtedly the most rockin’ show of the week. It was the only show I saw this week where the models really let loose and you could tell they were having a blast. The music was loud and lively while the models strutted down the runway with huge smiles on their faces. These smiles were the real deal. They were having a great time and the energy given off during this show was contagious! The colour palette used for this show included neon yellow, pink, electric blue and green…all anchored of course by some neutrals black, white and gray.
The Paul Hardy show was spectacular. It started off softer with neutral nude tones in sheer and shiny fabrics. The show took a definite turn as it toughened up with structured bustiers, black leather accents, thick and heavy neck gear and luminous navy fabrics. I have to say I loved the hard turn. Hardy was one of the designers this week that was able to balance the soft and the hard looks to produce a brilliant and versatile collection.
Ladies and gentlemen! I would like to announce my very favourite show of the entire week! RUDSAK! It is quite possible that someone had to mop up the drool that was left on the floor in front of my seat after this show. I'm not joking. Generally, fashionweek shows are very, very grandiose, artistic and meant to be used as inspiration for style and trends that end up trickling down through the fashion chain all the way down to street fashion. This trickling affect can sometimes take anywhere between six months and a year to work its way down. By the time it reaches the street the look has generally been toned down--quite a bit. When was the last time you have seen something on a runway that you would wear right off the runway onto the street...or could and would wear on a daily basis? For me, it was last night! This show was delicious. I couldn't get enough.
Rudsak delivered a seamless show. Every single item was gorgeous. There were beautiful leather trench coats, puffy belted coats with large collars, black leather fedora-style hats and oh my goodness... the bags. The bags! Okay, I think by this point you can tell how excited I was by this show. Right when I didn't think the week could get any better, this show came along!I would like to express an extreme thank you to both Ali and Alex for giving me this amazing opportunity to do media coverage for L'Oreal Fashionweek for ChickAdvisor. This week seriously rocked my world. Thank you!
