Fashion Week AW 08 is over... now let's talk about it.
Sorry for the lack of "immediacy" but it takes me some time to digest the shows and being able to talk about them...
The first (and best show) I attended this season was Patrik Rzepski' s in Chelsea.
I'm a big fan of Patrik: in a city like NY where the average designer is as safer as it takes, Patrik push the boundaries and his creations are interesting and "good looking".
The location chosen was some art space/art gallery, very big, very white, in Chelsea New York. The crowd was noisy and very "modern"; almost everyone was wearing black.
I run into some friends and that surprised me because a) i didn't know they were invited, and b) it's always nice not to be alone in a show, having someone with who commenting the going ons of the evening.
Being this my first show of the season (problems with my photo shoot didn't let me go to more shows) I was eyes wide open.
Although the show started 45 minutes late, the waiting was worth it.
Black color abounded, as it's the norm in Patrik, and he mixed it with plaid lumber jack in some beautiful instances.
If there is something I went nuts for in Patrik's creations were his zip-up and very loosy tights (you know i love them!): they look trashy and elegant all at the same time, difficult task and beautiful result.
" Back to nature boys, Vasser girls too
Watch what you say, or think, or do
Continental style strasse girls might
But you know exactly if it's wrong or right "
(from the show program)
Thanks Alex Wright from Dripbook for sending me these amazing images, which are way much better than they ones I took!.
Patrik Rzepski
Ahora que la semana de la moda en Nueva York ha acabado, vamos a hablar de ella... es curioso lo rapido que trabajan algunos bloggers a la hora de comentar desfiles, yo necesito un tiempo de asimilación.
El primer desfile de esta temporada, y el mejor de los que yo pude atender (ya sabeis mi problema con mi edito, me fue imposible hacer otra cosa que no fuera la produccion de dicho editorial), fue el de Patrik Rzepski en Chelsea. Desde que descubrí este diseñador he sido una gran fan de el porque hacer colecciones interesante y chulas es algo de lo que brilla por su ausencia en esta ciudad.
La localización fue en una galeria de Arte en Chelsea, en Nueva York, muy grande, muy blanca. Y toda la gente que assitio el evento, muy "moderna": practicamente todo el mundo vestido de negro.
Me encontre con varios amigos una vez alli, lo cual me sorprendio porque no tenia ni eda de que estaban invitdos y porque oye, siempre se agradece el tener compañia para hablar de lo que esta pasando, y para cotillear.
El show empezó con 45 minutos de retraso, que es norma en fashion week al fin y al cabo, pero merecio la pena la espera.
La coleccion estaba compuesta de prendas negras casi en su totalidad, exceptp algunos cuadrod dispersos aqui y alla.
Sin lugar a duda fueron las medias, grandes y caidas, lo que mas me gustaron (ya sabeis cuanto me gustan las medias que Patrik diseña!), con un toque trashy y elegante al mismo tiempo.
Las fotos son todas de Alex Wright de Dripbook que me dejo usarlas en lugar de las mias que las pobres daban pena...

It's not over till Marc Jacobs sings...er, bribes...um, shows up two hours late or whatever.
Ooops... haha, you're right ^_^
The black flowing dresses are very beautiful. A little bit austere but I like it!
this collection looks quite mournful...
i love the plaid piece and how half the dress has a layer of darkness over it. it's so cool that you got to attend his fashion show. I'm still waiting for the day that I can attend a legit show..haha, still waiting and hoping :)
