ZAC POSEN SPRING 2014 RTW

COCO ROCHA (WILHELMINA)

ZAC POSEN SPRING 2014

CRYSTAL RENN (WOMEN)

It was announced last week that Charles James will be the subject of next year's Costume Institute show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

James was sometimes called America's first couturier; he's remembered now for his spectacular ball gowns, immortalized in photographs by Cecil Beaton.

If James has a spiritual descendant, it's Zac Posen, whose devotion to occasion dressing is immune to trend. New York is thinking along sporty lines for Spring; other designers Posen's age are vibing on the 1990s.

Posen, for his part, borrowed his color palette and floral prints from the Impressionists; his muse this season was Sarah Bernhardt.

DAIANE CONTERATO (THE SOCIETY)

More power to him, right? Unfortunately, this wasn't one of Posen's finest moments. Backstage before the show he said he would be presenting "conceptual evening," and described it as "more sculptural" than usual.

SESSILEE LOPEZ (MAJOR)

Exuberant doesn't begin to describe the layered organza and tulle layers of a strapless party dress, or the pronounced shoulders of an architectural draped evening jacket in floral jacquard.

LINDSEY WIXZON (THE SOCIETY)

Some of the softer dresses, too (in double-face white satin or rose hand-dyed draped tulle), were constructed with a flamboyance that felt out of step—not just with other runways, but also with the red carpets for which most of them are intended.

Admittedly, the silk flowers in the models' updos and the harsh lighting weren't doing Posen any favors.

ROSE CORDERO (NEW YORK MODEL)

He was on much firmer ground with a comparatively simpler hand-plisséd strapless cocktail number in yellow—all of the plissé dresses were lovely.

ANNA CLEVELAND (TRUMP)

An ultra-fitted peplum jacket worn with a fishtail skirt struck a similarly modern note.

MACKENZIE DRAZAN (THE SOCIETY)

CHLOE NORGAARD (ONE)

Ball gowns will be in the spotlight at the Costume Institute next May, but these are the kinds of things we hope to see the next time Posen gets on the runway.

ANASTASIA IVANOVA (SUPREME)

BRUNA TENORIO (WOMEN)

ARLENIS SOSA (MARILYN)

MING XI (THE SOCIETY)

Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 RTW.

Patricia van der Vliet (ELITE)

First impression of Louis Vuitton: confusion. As editors and VIPs scrambled to take their seats in the dark, security guards in the courtyard of the Louvre were shouting, "Vite! Vite!" and maneuvering people through the doors (punctuality is the thing at this house these days).

Frida Gustavsson (IMG)

Meanwhile, models in giant Afro wigs were already trotting past several empty front-row seats. What was the look? Another calculated mix-up Jacobs later summarized as being "about travelers—the movement that came after punk.

Alina Ismailova (VIVA)

Then we were thinking about hiking, trekking, and then denim and parkas—city utilitarianism."

Tao Okamoto (WOMEN)

What did that actually mean? At first sight, Japanese by way of early Galliano, though it was hard to find a definitive label for the sporty, couture-ish, military, metallic, glittery layering going on.

Lyndsey Scott (ELITE)

There were brocade cycling shorts, pleated kilt-cum-belts, army-pocketed jackets, neon and nude camouflage slipdresses, and LV-stamped ombré-dyed denim looks with fringed edges.

Sophie Srej (IMG)

Tubular sport drawstrings were used as cross-lacing up the sides of leggings and later got chopped up and applied to body dresses in swagged appliqués vaguely reminiscent of Native American jewelry.

Maryna Linchuk (VIVA)

Among the sport mesh and draping in the abbreviated prom-meets-tennis dresses, there was a flash of a brilliant green pailletted number that seemed to link back to the army subtheme (though it hardly matters where it came from, it was so cute).

Katie Fogarty (NEXT)

Apart from that, though, there was less of the sugar-coated overt luxe of the last Vuitton collection. In fact, all the action was in the super-young accessories.

Irina Kulikova (IMG)

Toggles, tassels, and fur tails dingle-dangled off squashy backpacks and satchels, while head-turning suede peg-heeled clogs (the season's funniest take on the resurgent kitten heel) sprouted fur patches and hardware.
