Maniacs,
Our girls in the NYC are totally in touch with their inner MANIAC biotch, and they aren’t afraid to flaunt it. The dress is always haute, and in the city that never sleeps, fashion week is every week. For the upcoming fall ’08 season I want you to think clean, tailored lines. I’m talking tailored suits, skirt and blouse, and fitted waistlines. You know the drill.
Your daytime look can be a little more relaxed than your nighttime…but this isn’t LA. I’m not sending you stomping through Bryant Park in your cutest baby doll dress. We’re still looking for structure here. Men’s tailoring for women is so in it’s ridiculous, so aim for tuxedo blouses, a tailored straight to wide legged pant, or, hello, skinny jeans.
You may have guessed that for this fall, New York is so absolutely over your chunky accessories. Trade your wide belts for skinny ones and pawn whatever else you can for the hautest leather bag you can find (i.e. Chanel, duh).
Glamming up your look for the evening is all about dramatizing your make-up and finding the right pair of shoes. Whereas we’d prefer to see you in a pair of pumps, we figure you’ll be crawling all over the village in a less than sober state. The compromise? Throw a pair of ballet flats in the oversized bag we still can’t convince you to get rid of.
Peace,
Andrew
P.S. If it’s cold enough, we’re loving you in one of Louis Vuitton’s cropped ¾ length jackets paired with a long pair of leather gloves. Though, no matter what label you decide to wear, you’re doing all your last minute shopping on 5th avenue.
