DC Fashion Week January 15-21

The DC Fashion Week, held January 15-21, 2010,  had an international viewpoint. I saw several new designers (new to me) that I liked. The Web site is http://www.dcfashionweek.org/dcfw_runwayphotos.htm.

The majority of fashions are very wearable, and the models were not all size 0 (refreshing). The slide system is the balkiest I have seen, but I made it work.

This outfit is by HeyDari.

Lili Forrest designed this confection.

Atelier Gianni Lilliu designed this interesting handling of satin draping.

I just looked at all of the designers featured in Stockholm Fashion Week, February 1-3:

Overall I think they are excellent. The shows had a very youthful, vibrant vibe to them. I enjoyed watching the videos more than the slide shows. I especially liked the following designers:

Filippa K

The amazing thing about the Filippa K show was the music by singer/songwriter Hajen. She blew me away. She is not on iTunes, but she is on MySpace:

I have to hear more from her.

Watching this made me want to visit Sweden.
