Spring / Summer 2008 New York Fashion Week is over. Several hundred thousand fashionistas and fashionistas from different parts of the world, a huge number of empty bottles of champagne, the main Hollywood film stars in the forefront, new faces of young models and loud discoveries and disappointments on the catwalk - all this made up a nine-day marathon of an endless holiday.

Summer will be colorful

If you try to briefly describe the entire kaleidoscope of design ideas that appeared on the catwalks of Bryant Park in downtown New York, the word "rainbow" comes to mind. Unlike autumn trends - dark colors, simple geometric prints - next spring and summer, almost all leading American fashion designers advise us to choose bright dresses, colorful jackets and airy sundresses, cast in the most unusual color combinations.

Vera Wang on New York Fashion Week has filled her new collection with exquisite tunic dresses made of flying silk and shiny satin in blue, blue, purple, gold-plated and green shades. The young designer Thakoon Panichgul, who produces clothes under the Thakoon brand, drew the attention of fashionistas to bright yellow, gray and blue colors. He offered sporty, fitted cotton dresses with geometric prints and a tapered miniskirt. His colleagues from the design duo Proenza Schouler (this year they have collected the best reviews from critics) were inspired by the abundance of yellow and blue colors. They presented gorgeous elaborate outfits like a tight vest with large metal buttons, worn over a snow-white blouse and complemented by a fluffy and short layered sun skirt.

What to wear now

The main trends of the coming autumn are as follows: dark knitted sweaters, tight pipe trousers, voluminous poncho coats, turtlenecks under long loose-cut tunics, fitted jackets. Classic femininity, restrained tones are in fashion. The favorite of the season is gray.

Spaniard Isabel Toledo revived the traditionally conservative ladies' looks of the Anne Klein fashion house with rich prints in all colors of the rainbow and an original check in iridescent green, purple, blue and metallic.

Gwen Stefani (L. A. M. B. line), this time delighted with seductive mini-shorts with suspenders, "school" pleated skirts of yellow-red shades and high tight knee-highs.

Her colleague Jay Lo presented her new youth line JustSweet in New York: clothes in disco style, preference for light green, purple and coral colors.

The sunny collection, dazzling with fluorescent lemon and orange, light green, pink and turquoise colors, was presented by the master of American fashion Michael Kors. Bold decisions delighted the fans of his talent present in the hall - Demi Moore, Jessica Simpson, Julianne Moore and other Hollywood beauties. The designer admitted after the show that he was inspired by the work of the French impressionist Georges Seurat, gave free rein to his imagination and allowed himself a little frivolity in working with fabric.

More body

In the coming summer, the streets will surely not only be full of the most unusual color combinations, but also sparkle with seductive necklines and high necklines. Sexuality returns to fashion again: extremely short length of clothes, emphasized minimalism.

Gwen settled down

Previously, Gwen Stefani every now and then surprised fashion critics with crazy looks. She disappeared from the fashion world for two years to devote herself to a child. Her appearance at New York Fashion Week showed that the singer has matured. The latest collection of L. A. M. B. in the spirit of the 60s: fashionable and practical.

Collections L. A. M. B, Doo. Ri, Badgley Mischka, BSBG Max Azria and Anna Sui pleasantly surprised with the abundance of deep neckline, shorts that barely cover the intimate parts of the body, miniature sundresses made of airy translucent fabrics.

The bikinis featured in the Badgley Mischka collection emphasize the bust and thighs, exposing them to the limit. Even Donna Karan demonstrated flesh-colored silk blouses with a deep cut, unusual for her collections.

The public's favorite Marc Jacobs reveals his body with seductive satin bodices and intriguing bra-shaped tops. Designer Jill Stuart has brought back into fashion tight, breast-lifting corsets and openwork transparent blouses that barely hide women's charms.

The style of the elegant conquerors

Traditionally, New York Fashion Week not without the trademark American classics. This time it was glorified in his collection by Ralph Lauren, who celebrated the 40th anniversary of Ralph Lauren's stellar career on the catwalk. He dedicated his new models to the colonial style of Francis Scott Fitzgerald's time with signature attributes - lace-trimmed black hats, fishnet corsets, fitted dresses, flared at the bottom, and walking sticks. Calvin Klein recreated the image of the film star Katharine Hepburn on the catwalk, and Tomi Hilfiger delighted with an abundance of classic sporty-glamorous models for a chic vacation in a villa in the fashionable Hampton or on a sea cruise on the Atlantic.

Fashion Posh

Former singer, fashion designer and socialite Victoria Beckham attended all the key shows of the week. Journalists noted that each time she appeared in similar tight mini-dresses. Only the colors and details of the finish changed.

Carolina Herrera drew inspiration from the vibrant landscapes of the American artist Jeremiah Goodman. She tried to convey the romantic mood of his watercolors with the help of weightless chiffon dresses with small polka dots and floral prints.

The main "supplier" of Hollywood, the master of evening dress Oscar de la Renta, to which the loyal fans of Victoria Beckham, Maggie Gyllenhall, Rachel Wise and many others came to the show, including the winner of the U. S. tennis championship that just ended in New York. Open Roger Federer traditionally delighted with the architectural splendor of satin column dresses and silk cocktail dresses, luscious tops and lush turquoise skirts.

Russian exit

For the third time in a row on New York Fashion Week Russian designer Alexander Terekhov brought his new collection. Inspired by last year's successes and a warm welcome from both guests and fashion critics, the designer presented a collection full of bright colors, interesting looks and unusual shapes. In his spring-summer 2008 collection, the natural silk of a light dress is combined with the synthetic gloss of leggings. And cotton shirt dresses, very relevant in the coming season, carelessly fall on their tanned legs on high stiletto heels. Spectators enthusiastically applauded the exquisite raincoat dresses, cardigan dresses, skillfully decorated with ruffles, zippers and wide belts and complemented by stylish clutch bags.
