New York Fashion Week - Spring 2011

As New York Fashion Week (NYFW) comes to an end the trends began to stand out. My favorite trend is the 1970's glam seen at Marc Jacobs and Diane Von Furstenberg. Think Diana Ross in Mahogany! As always, vintage design is the muse of modern fashion! Enjoy more of the shows from NYFW at www.nymag.com/fashion/fashionshows.com.

Muse Moment

This Muse Moment is inspired by Fashion's Night Out (FNO)!

The fabric in this 1950's sundress is incredibly similar to this fab Dries Van Noten dress featured in the FNO runway show at Lincoln Center! The Dries Van Noten dress was featured in the Fifties Flair category! I love the gold brooch it adds an elegant finishing touch.
