Favorites From New York Fashion Week 
Like most of what is promoted as the pop-american lifestyle, collections from New York Fashion Week offer up views of adulthood as taken from the scenic byways heading straight for the Fountain of Youth. Blooms and petals were everywhere, as were loose folds and practical shapes for the warmer months.

Girlish designs from Marc Jacobs, Karen Walker and Twinkle have a light-hearted appeal, while Rodarte, Marchesa and Thakoon show us how wonderful it can be to dress as sophisticated, grown-up women. Sabyasachi, Vera Wang, Ashish N Soni, Derek Lam, Y & Kei and James Coviello are transitional collections – they keep the playful shapes and layers of the girlish but are equally appropriate for adulthood.

Apart from Rodarte and Marchesa, I will be looking to London and beyond for collections with originality.
