NYFW: Gwen Stefani Lamb Autumn 2011

LambAutumn2011 (45)

Given Lamb designer Gwen Stefani’s own personal design vision, one would guess her fashion line would be a walk in the park, especially given how widely she is loved and admired and how there is a geniune dirth of designers addessing her look–street-inspired, sassy and smart. And while there are pieces that speak to the fashion she is best known for, her shows seem to veer wildly from season to season and  within any given collection attempts to do too much. Which could be why her line has struggled to find a home at retail. We wish that were otherwise!

Melissa ‘Time Code’ Collection Autumn 2011

Melissa (1)

Melissa showed an Autumn 2011 collection, titled “Time Code,” with each style name after ways we spend our time: “Kissing,” “Waiting,” “Making,” etc. What’s different  and exciting about the brand is all the new material offerings. The pumps on this page are still “plastic dreams,” but during the manufacutring process, a velvet material is blown on the shoe, resulting in a lightweight and waterproof shoe. And since velvet is having a moment, we are loving it. Many more styles on the next page including a convertable fur rain boot and another Alexandre Herchcovitch collaboration, this time a super neat Beatle boot. There are also menswear-inspired oxfords and for the first time sneakers! More on the next page with all images via Highsnobette.

Walking around Magic’s Project show past booth after booth after booth of similar-looking stuff, this bag more or less leaped up and down and demanded, “Look at me, I’m adorable—take a picture of meeeeeeee!” And voila, now you, dear reader, get to share in the fun of this skull & crossbone tote, too. Some more serious yet equally handsome Autumn 2011 bags on the flip. All images HighSnobette.

Swedish Hasbeens Autumn 2011

SwedishHasbeens (2)

We were wondering if Swedish Hasbeens would stay forever a clog company and much to our delight we discovered in a visit to its booth a Magic’s Platform show that it’s added new profiles for Autumn 2011. The retro feel is still there and much like a well-edited vintage store, the tassled loafers (above), lace-up military boots with sheepskin lining and pull on boots with gum soles (!) all very much have a what’s next feel to them. And don’t worry, clogs remain a mainstay, featuring new colors and treatments. More on the next page. All images via Highsnobette.

Its timeless pieces have been worn by style icons including the Duchess of Windsor, Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor.
