A Peek Into New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week is in full swing. You've all read the tweets and the updates, now here's a peek at what people are wearing while they're out and about in NYC. As I said before, I'm more excited to see what people are wearing rather than the actual collections being showcased.


The hair, the glasses, the whole outfit = Perfection.


Leather folios are still popular.


So are the stacked bracelets which we saw a lot of in Milan and Paris.


Let's not forget about camo ang grey.


These shoes add a jolt of colour to the grey ensemble and to New York's grey streets.

Band Of Outsiders Fall 2010

The Fall 2010 Band of Outsiders collection and presentation contained equal amounts of humour, wit and quirk - characteristics that make it look like it's from a Wes Anderson film.



As always, there is a nod to a bygone era with the overall styling. But at the same time, there is something that makes it look right at home in the 21st century.



Vintage cars and hanging out on top of a chandelier - just a normal day at Casa de Sternberg.



I haven't really been keeping an eye out on this season's latest collections, but Band of Outsiders is just too good to miss. It definitely gets an enthusiastic two thumbs up from me. Bravo!

Band Of Outsiders Fall 2009

Double-breasted blazers, toggle coats, tweeds and sweatpants were all present in the Band Of Outsiders Fall 2009 collection. The combination of these pieces, as odd as it may seem, worked out together quite well and presented a cohesive collection that calls to mind, yet again, gentlemanly style of the 1960's. But even if we are sent back in time, Scott Sternberg does not forget the present, and of course, the future.

The mixture of formal pieces with slightly less formal ones present a notion of practicality, of toned down luxury, and ultimately, sensitivity. Quite appropriate for the current situation most consumers (and designers) are in right now. The collection, in my opinion, is a celebration of creativity and nostalgia and proves that the brand is constantly evolving while staying true to style that has been tried and tested over the decades.

Shipley & Halmos




Some key trends from Fall 08 (bowties, plaid) have been carried over to Spring 09 as seen in the collections of Band Of Outsiders and Shipley & Halmos. The past seasons have all been about gentlemanly style and a complete throwback to the 1950's and early 60's and this will definitely continue on.

Band Of Outsiders churns out more variations on the classic boat shoe while Shipley & Halmos creates amazing colors for their plaid patterns. I look forward to the upcoming shows with anticipation and eagerness.
