New York Times Fashion & Style provides a nice insight of the trends and events happening in this very industry with interesting comments and photos. I enjoyed Cathy Horyn's article of Balenciaga. She gave clear inights so descriptive, it's like you're there: stating comments like, "A sustained roar followed as the models, still in their ruffles and tweeds, cheered".



Fashion reporters use a langage that entices its readers, especially when it comes to runways. Cathy Horyn gave great wording when giving description apparel silhouette/design, details, color, fabric, and with the help of creative "jargon".

She gave commetary on the                            

silhouette of the tops when saying,

"In one sense, the lean tailoring and

white squared-off tops..."

"He didn't erase the Modernist geometry

of recent seasons, but he used more

harmoniously with the fabrics."





Mr. Ghesquiere found a new                   

silhouette: an easy tank dress, almost

an apron, with a flared skirt and a

swag of fabric of fabric in the front.

















 She gave a bit of visionary

thought while describing the collection as
something like mythology in Greece with a
hint of nature: by his detailing thorns
or barbed wire.

She states that is by Veronique Branquinho, describing it as a "gathered top and slinky skirt in a glazed fabric". This is giving her readers a color hint on how the garment reflected in the light.

She says that Dries Van Noten made an idiosycratic statement. She compared his designs to a grungy style much like Marc Jacobs' release of his grungy plaid. "Some of his outfits truly looked grungy, like a flabby gray pullover worn with vintage floral-print pajama pants and an untucked plaid shirt.....slouchy pants.....silvery plaid shorts....wrap vests." ...or as I may say.... it's the new 90s

And don't forget Rocha's satin pencil skirt, retro swimuit, leg trousers, and blouses in white stretch brocade.....or may say... the Claire McCardell's simplicity enhanced.

Rick Owens had his own personal style with the "semitransparent" outfit. He gave character to his design by adding glossiness and silver. Cathy Horyn described his designs as "light and airy".....or I may say... it reminded me of something like space wear with the glossiness and silvery white colors, and with the hairstyle of the model.
