with a particularly tipsy economy looming above, Girlawhirl didn't expect anything radical to occur atsSummer 2009 New York Fashion Week. She was thinking more in terms of evolution, not revolution. In the end, she was overcome with the exuberant optimism played out on the runways, and taken in by the themes, colors and sometimes just plain kooky combinations.
Different from the wide legged silhouettes Girlawhirl saw on some runways, the Harem Pant is full through the hip and leg, but then is banded at the ankle. It's sure to be a new addition to wardrobes all over America because it's easy to wear without being over the top and will provide women with an option that falls somewhere in between pants and a skirt.
Girlawhirl recognizes what retailers refer to as a ‘key item' when she sees one, and for Spring and Summer '09, she's pretty sure the hottest key item of them all will be the jumpsuit.
Skinny pants are part of Girlawhirl's wardrobe regardless of the season; it's just a look that works for her. But forSummer '09, she'll have plenty of colorful cigarette pants to add to her closet.
Girlawhirl means kooky in the best way! The mix of folkloric and abstract patterns – colors she thought would have clashed – and more, was an enduring theme during New York Fashion Week.
Last Spring was all about flowers! From the oversized flower worn by Carrie in Sex and the City: the Movie to an abundance of floral prints and patterns designers sent down the runways.
Every season has its own version of black and white, whether it's fall's hound's-tooth or a crisp clean stripe for Summer.
