Wang and DVF - The Fashion Week Runway Review

A dress from Alexander Wang's Fall 2009 RTW collection.

Another week, another show.

The weekend brought a multitude of designers to the tents, most of which were fabulous (Victoria Beckham, DKNY). There were, of course, a few exceptions. DVF felt somber and dismal (a reflection on These Economic Times?) and Herve Leger was a bit predictable. Read on for the full scoop.

Alexander Wang: As the winner of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award this year, expectations were high for Mr. Wang. Luckily for him his collection was anything but disappointing. Granted, his biker shorts and ripped tee's are the epitome of twenty-something apparel, but there is something refreshingly sexy about his designs. Bold shoulders, short skirts, and a little bit of latex (shocking, but I loved it) all combined to produce an overall design fitting for 2009.

Diane von Furstenberg: As a die-hard DVF fan I will stand up in defense of Her Majesty in pretty much all scenarios. Her Fall 2009 collection is not one of those scenarios. Sadly, the looks were depressing and blah - with ridiculous pom-pom headpieces rounding out the looks. This was not Chanel during Couture Week. And did she collaborate with Lindsay Lohan? Why else would she send so many pairs of leggings down the runway.
