One more thought on Fashion Week would be what is tumbling through my mind on Zac Posen. He is beautiful! Well his designs are, he isn’t bad either. I am very intrigued this season with the colors of choice. Tuxedo style dresses, ties, blazers, black and white and bright bold tights. I am hooked on tights for fall as I am generally a very chilled person, perhaps cold blood runs through my veins. I find layering to be a must and tights to be just plain necessity when it comes to dresses in Fall and Winter. I adore dresses but my cold blood keeps me avoiding them and dreaming of the day I can wear them. Thanks to the popularity of tights I no longer have to dream and can adorn myself with all the dresses I spend so much effort in bidding on via ebay.

Zac, thank you. For keeping the love of leg wear alive. He most interestingly uses women’s attire with heavy suit tones and masculine design and I do love a woman in a vest. I am a big fan of suit styles on women. So I will keep it simple. Just believe me in that I find it interesting, in love with the color palette, and I am totally crushing on Posen now.

In my attempt to liven up this blog that I have been told is lacking in pictures I bring you something of more entertainment value I hope. It has been all too long since I talked fashion, had it determined by several friends that I should keep on with the dating life as many of my girls were enjoying the bad date stories I spoke of. However, New York Fashion Week was in February and I have said nothing and I feel regret. Therefore . . .

Many women find Vera Wang’s designs to be very beautiful, feminine, colorful, form flattering . . . and I agree. The woman knows lines, she knows the female form and she very graciously drapes with ease.

Vera, as many know, but probably just as many do not know, trained as a figure skater and competed for many years. Competing in the 1968 Figure Skating Championships and being featured in Sports Illustrated to top that. She tried out to be in the Olympics, but as her skating did not get her on the team she found herself moving into the Fashion Industry. And, as so many of my fellow females are thankful she did, we can now all hope to one day walk down the isle with her label on our thousand dollar satin gowns.

She was the Anna Wintour of Vogue while Anna was too busy playing with older gentlemen. She designed figure skating apparel for some of the best, not including the knee whacker, but including the knee whackee. The gown guru whipped up a prom number for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Geller, she has had a handful of TV appearances and has a very brag worthy fashion resume. A very deserving brag worthy one at that.

This February her fall fashion for 2008 really caught my eye. I adore her color palette this year; mustard, rust orange, pale olive, and black of course (always a classic favorite). Vera has an excellent eye for color and design. She drapes with such creativity, not always hitting the expected lines, but this being the very thing I love about her. She is unpredictable. She keeps you interested and intrigued. Her effort in creating floral pattern by arranging fabric instead of using print is simple to appreciate. As artists, fashion mavens, sculptors, and architects alike, we can all find inspiration in her creativity.

Always a fan of Mrs. Wang she will continue to be please our palettes.
