Vassilios Kostetsos Fall 2010
Designer Vassilios Kostetsos frequently turns to his heritage for inspiration, as he did for Fall/Winter 2010. With his muse being the greek drama Antigone, Vassilios brought forth a sexually driven collection with strong undertones of love and war. Colors like bright red, bold blue, and hot fuchsia were balanced with black,white, tan and bronze. Some looks included leather coats with exaggerated shoulders, patent hot pants with thigh high snake print boots, and skin tight silhouettes complimented with soft feminine drapery. The menswear was just as statement making as the women’s wear, and further characterized with metallic facial paint, making these boys ready to battle for love. From the orgasmic opening music (literally, sounds of a woman climaxing), to the high energy models in sensual ensembles owning the catwalk, it was a passionate and seemingly suitable ending to Valentine’s Day at Bryant Park.

Cynthia Steffe Fall 2010
Designer Shaun Kearney gave us an uptown school girl chic for Fall/Winter 2010. Tweeds and pleated skirts, paired with skinny black patent belts and thigh high leg warmers echoed Gossip Girl preppy. There was also a military inspired essence in the button details, plackets and uniform cuts. Key pieces included a tan leather fitted dress, tweed and black leather jumpers, and soft feminine chiffon dresses. The color scheme was a colorless rainbow of mostly cool gray tones, heather grey, black and browns. Some variations were found in a black and gray striped top, and cloudy looking prints on dresses and coats. The collection focused around a very short and sexy silhouette with a playful girlish twist.

Ports 1961 Fall 2010
Ports 1961 Fall/Winter 2010 was driven by an exploration of discovery and invention. The collection seemed to unfold and mature as each model trotted out as a free-spirited beauty. There was old world feel in the details and the model’s untamed curly hair. Other elements included architectural silhouettes, and statement jewelry like ceramic and carved wooden necklaces. Leather hats and motocross gloves added some modern roughness. Though the colors and watery prints were very muted, the play on textures and combinations of different textiles like leather, jersey, knits, tweeds, wool, chiffon, organza and lame added a wholesome variation to this globally wearable collection. Designer Tia Cibani presented an overall beautiful experience from the first moment of silence for Alexander McQueen, to the dreamy melodic music to the ultra feminine yet empowering clothes.
