The most exciting part of this runway show was that it included advice of how to "make it work" by Mr. Gunn. He gave advice on silhouette, portion and fit. Which I must admit are my pet peeves when people get them wrong. I could gush about Tim Gunn for pages on this blog, but I reckon I should get to the fashion.
These 4 Kate Spade looks are just great! The first one is an example of when pattern mixing goes really well. As always you have to be careful with scale of the patterns. The second dress has enough vertical like stripes to make it work. Otherwise this could easily swallow up a petite lady. The third has a much smaller print so it is easily worn by someone shorter. The final look I added simply because that trench is so wonderful! I can not say it enough. I immediately texted 2 friends and told them they must buy it now!
We then got some man candy too! These looks by Lucky Brand were all pretty good, yet very casual. A big thanks to Tim for reminding men to tuck in their shirts. The only time it is acceptable not to is when with shorts or being used as an outer shirt!
I included this first look, to simply prove all rompers are not bad! If you get the length and silhouette right then it is wearable. So many do not get that right though. Again with the second look, they are not giving exactly vertical stripes but they are not horizontal so it works for more women. Taking that same advice, if the stripes are extremely thin as in look three they are less offensive as well. Look four is cute, but is very style specific and not for everyone. You must watch where YOUR waistline is.
Overall, This was my favorite experience of the week. This being due mostly to the fact Tim Gunn was there LOL. THe interactive and advice from the host just really made for a much different experience. It was less about the art of fashion and more about the wearability of the clothes. I love the art but I also love to know that real people can actually wear them. Thanks again Mr. Gunn!
