New York Fashion Week roundup
Doesn’t Vera Wang ever get tired? Her cheap-for-chic line launches next week at Kohl’s. Her name is stamped everywhere, from plates and stationery to mattresses and frothy bridal gowns. But she’s always maintained it’s her signature ready-to-wear collection that’s her true baby.
After last season’s dark, moody Russian revolution collection, Wang has brightened up (the show kicked off with “Here Comes the Sun” blaring overhead). Her spring collection is inspired by ancient Rome, as evidenced by scores of loose-fitting frocks and draped toga dresses. Like a lot of the designers we’ve seen this week, she’s embracing earthy tones _ shades of brown, beige, green and gold _ and intricate details such as bold jeweled and leaf necklines are a standout.
While another reporter griped to me that her pretty aesthetic never changes and there are never any surprises, I have to say that Wang does what she does best. And it’s freakin’ gorgeous.
