Why Comfy-Chic Is In – Thanks Marc Jacobs!

If you’re like me, you’re still re-living NYFW in your head.  Why you ask?  I love the thought of knowing that once next fall comes around, comfy-chic is in!  Yes, Marc Jacobs confirmed it and I am all about it!  Long johns, knit sweaters and long, oversize everything is what his Fall 2014 collection encompasses.  (And yes, maybe a half-nude Kardashian too, but please she’s had enough press time devoted to her.)

 

 

While “comfort” may be in, this is still fashion week and there are still some glam-standards to uphold.  Marc Jacobs also incorporated shots of sparkle, ruffle and warm luxurious furs.  Needless to say, it still isn’t acceptable to walk out of the house in sweats (sorry) but Marc Jacobs is definitely letting us push that limit with this collection.

Jason Wu Fall 2014

For a collection full of midnight-hues mixed with full-on silk, look no further than Jason Wu’s Fall 2014 collection.   In addition to gorgeous satiny gowns, Wu also served up some great separates and oversized coats.  Slip on any of these looks from the runway and you’ll turn into one fierce woman!

 

 

The thing I love most about this collection is that Wu managed to display very sexy looks while his models were covered almost head-to-toe in draped fabric.  Not many designers can pull that feat off! I’m banking on seeing pieces from this collection popping up all over the place (ahem, OSCARS!).

 

 

Kate Spade Fall 2014

I am a self-proclaimed girly-girl.  I love everything pink, sparkly and ultra-feminine.  The Kate Spade fall 2014 collection is basically my dream come true in clothing form.  Deborah Lloyd’s creations included sparkle embellishments (and those glittery heels!! omg!!), leopard coats and feathers galore.  I truly cannot pick a favorite look from this collection.

 

 

This collection was not lacking any warmth either!  Designers all seemed to jump on the fur and fuzzy bandwagon and this collection from Kate Spade is no different with furry bags, hats and scarves.   Stay warm and cozy and look like a totally chic modern-day Audrey Hepburn?  Don’t mind if I do!

 

 

Peter Som Fall 2014

Just wondering, will there be ANY disappointing shows this Fashion Week?  Because so far, everything has been beautiful and I want everything from the fall collections in my closet!  Peter Som is no different.  With his use of leopard, leather and possible inspiration from Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” Som sent gorgeous day and night, casual and dressy looks down the runway in a perfectly flowing show (and some perfectly flowing feathers).

 

 

The rich blue and orange hues mixed with patterns meshed just right with simple high and low boots.  The skirts flared in flirty ways, the gowns swayed with fluid ease and the coats were tailored to perfection.  However, it was the bits of animal print that tugged at my heart strings.  I am a leopard lover and I need each and every piece that featured the print!

 

 

BCBG Max Azria Fall 2014

Comfort is not even the word.  I literally want to take each piece of the Fall 2014 BCBG Max Azria collection, compile it into a huge bed and snuggle up in it until the end of winter.  Max and Lubov sure has me lusting over each and every piece of one of the first collections to walk down the runway this season.

With perfect color-blocked lines and luxurious fur in a dark yet neutral color palette, these models looked like they were ready to walk outside into the blistery cold polar-vortex weather of NYC (in every good way possible that is).  Relaxed layers are shaping up to be one of the popular trends even after just the first day of New York Fashion Week.  And although it is only the first fabulous day of this highly anticipated week, BCBG Max Azria is sure to be a favorite.  It may even have us wishing for next fall/winter – wait more cold weather?  Ugh, fine – only if I get to don one of these fab fur pouches.. or scarves.. or skirts..or coats!
