NY Fashion Week - Best shows so far

Some of the younger, newer names were stealing the thunder of the established big guys early into NY fashion week.

The several-year-old line Costello Tagliapietra had one of the best shows I saw; over the knee, short-sleeved, belted dresses with just a touch of print - accessorized with little bow hats and grey, multi-strap gladiator shoes.

Alexander Wang went ultra-boy; showing slouchy but slim trousers, vests and little ski hats. Trousers are another big trend - not skinny jeans, not leggings - but good old fashioned cuff trousers that would make Kate Hepburn happy and Lauren Hutton laugh.
