Fiona Green, Fashion Editor, and Caitlin Kenny, Assistant Editor, are on the scene and at the shows in New York. Here are their top tweets from day five:
1. The fun begins backstage at Carolina Herrera, where Orlando Pita is building mega volume #nyfw
2. Spotted the always chic Dita Von Teese attending The Row #NYFW
3. For FW12 The Row is all elongated silhouettes, precise tailoring, and warm neutrals #NYFW
4. At Preen, Gucci Westman sets out to create an outdoorsy, sporty look on Alana Zimmer, one of #nyfw’s loveliest Canucks
5. Hair is windswept and knotted back at Preen. Barely any pins needed thanks to tons of product (powder and mousse)
6. Uh oh, a gaggle of models just ran into the venue at Preen…safe to say it won’t be starting any time soon! #NYFW
7. Colour-blocking offset by detailed butterfly+garden prints at Preen #NYFW
8. Prettiest lace seen all week, at Preen FW12 #NYFW
9. Gothy leather at Theyskens’ Theory, including longsleeve jumpsuit #NYFW
10. Major shoulder emphasis on variety of jkts at Theyskens’ Theory. Faded denims, slate grey knits, and occasional hit of sparkle #NYFW
11. The inspiration for makeup at 3.1 Phillip Lim is a tearful Roy Lichtenstein character #nyfw
12. Such a treat to get a close-up look @CHANEL SS12 haute couture collection…deep sea blue palette, exquisite beading #NYFW
13. Here’s a neat nail idea: Instead of a horizontal contrasting stripe across the tip, go vertical along the side
14. Must have pointy-toe gold “Peggy” boots from 3.1 Phillip Lim!! #NYFW
15. Phillip Lim was wonderful, but could’ve done without the choke-y fog machine. Took away from crisp aesthetic of collection #NYFW
16. Now over to the NY Public Library for Thom Browne! Criss-crossing the city all day long #NYFW
17. Aw, Mr. Browne’s Mother is here to see the @ThomBrowneNY FW12 presentation! #NYFW
18. Candle-lit show space for @ThomBrowneNY, 10 open coffins span length of room, each one with a model lying inside #NYFW
19. Marc Jacobs show about to promptly start. Fashion pack racing to their seats. #nyfw
20. Marc Jacobs show an explosion of colour, texture & embellishment. Hugely oversized fur hats, tinsel like decorated skirts, large knit wraps.
21. Full of whimsical over the top style, this Marc Jacobs show is like a fashion fairy tale! Loving every look. #nyfw
22. With 1920s Italian socialite Marchesa Casati as reference, François Nars created dark eyes w/ a “cloud” of black shadow
