NEW YORK PREVIEW

Style.com has a preview of the New York Spring Ready-to-Wear season up on the site; the best features are the designers' inspirations and the ones to watch. I'm excited to see that Annelore will have a show; I've stopped in the Annelore boutique in the West Village a few times, and the clothes are beautiful, and slightly eccentric, which is what you would expect from someone who used to design for ultra-girly Catherine Malandrino. Derek Lam will also be showing; a master of beautiful tailoring, he's been recently featured in NYLON and the buzz is building around him. Roland Mouret also joins New York this season - Mouret commands a diverse fashion vocabulary, and having tried on and adored his sensual yet restrained designs at Kirna Zabete, I'm excited to see what he is offering for the season.

The designers' inspirations are as diverse and sometimes loopy as the designers themselves. Zac Posen, for instance, cites the Eiko Ishioka costumes in Mishima as well as a book of shells; Behnaz Sarapour is looking to Pop Art this season. There's always a general sense of brightness and return to nature for most of the designers, although Daryl K will keep on her edgy urban woman route. (She's still using the film Escape from New York as inspiration, however, proving that when the weather heats up, even the most urban diehard wants to get away.)
