Trends in the New York Fashion Week

One of the prominent trends for the Spring 2009 Fashion week would have to be one shoulder dresses. Assymetry has been one of the main interests of alot of the designers for quite some time now.

Max Azria looked at assymetry from a different angle with a one-shouldered, bias-cut gown with a front halter strap.(Silverman, 2008) The coral pink assymetrical dress was draped so beautifully that it gave the illusion that it was falling off the model, by design.(Silverman, 2008)

Marc Jacobs used his signature innovative style by walking a model down the catwalk in a original, single shoulder-baring top.(Silverman, 2008)

Nicole Miller layered a structured asymmetrical shift over a crisp shirt dress which made the look's mysterious workplace appropriate.(Silverman, 2008)

Coco Chanel

Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel was born on August 19th 1883. Chanel's stylish and chic designs changed the world of fashion in the 1910s. The classy Chanel suit was launched in 1924. The Chanel suit was an chic outfit which consisted of a knee-length skirt with a matching trim, a boxy jacket, made of woven wool with black trim and gold buttons and worn with large costume-pearl necklaces. Then she became famous for her version of the littler black dress. The design of the dress made it good for day and night. It was strapless, backless, and was definately risque. Everyone was shocked at first but then it became a fashion sensation. It appeard in the third addition of Playboy. She then went on to design jewlery and handbags. Her perfume Chanel No. 5 was what made her a millionaire. It was created in 1921 by Ernest Beaux. Her famous double c logo was inspired by the Chateau de Cremat. Chanel lived along life and changed fashion forever. On January 10th 1971, Chanel died.

Coco Chanel is my favorite designer because of the influence she has had on the fashion industry. What girl has never needed to wear a little black dress and not felt sexy. Her handbags and jewelry are worn by women of all ages all over the world. Her clothes are beautiful and original. The memory of Coco Chanel will more than likely live on forever.
