Christine Alcalay A/W 2012 NYFW Presentation

CHRISTINE ALCALAY A/W 2012 [Ph. My Own]

In the Spring, Alcalay was all about bold prints and geometric shapes with splashes of strong color blocking. For Autumn, Alcalay sprinkled in periwinkle, shimmering velvets, and deep cranberry. Structured coats and red lips finish the look. Every piece elegant, luxurious and feminine. A classic collection I can't wait to sample for myself.

I'm really excited about the S/S 2012 Christine Alcalay Dress I was gifted after the Show. I can't wait to wear it (and share it) with you on the blog ...soon. I'm just waiting for things to warm up a bit more before I dare to bare my legs.. ;)

Christine Alcalay S/S 2012 NYFW Presentation

I relish in attending the big production Fashion Shows during Fashion Week as much as I enjoy partaking in the more intimate presentations. With the Christine Alcalay S/S 2012 Presentation, we were treated to a collection influenced by Greece and Egypt. Sumerian, Roman, Chinese and Irish inflections trickled in as well. I appreciate the idea of being able to walk around the models, see the pieces up close and make eye contact with the designer and her muses. Overall, I found the collection quite amazing. I was transported to the Sixties with some of the pieces. See: White cardigan and shorts. And then to the Seventies with the funky prints and the dazzling maxi skirts and dresses. A little bit Mad Men meets Charlie's Angels, and I like that!

The thing that excites me the most about Fashion Week, is the packed-to-the-gills schedule. I get a kick out of running back and forth between different shows, appointments, meetings and scheduled interviews. It's what I miss the most once I get back home. I have a lot of energy and despise sitting around. I prefer a meaty schedule day in and day out. I think the life of a Fashion Editor is parfait!
