NY Fashion Week - Ports 1961 and Morgane Le Fay
The palette at Ports 1961 was more earth tones. There was a series of coffee colored dresses that were very form fitting - only to be worn by gym goers, and consistent ones, at that. They were layered with fur pieces, and in one case, a floor length black opera coat - which seems to be a NY must have for fall. And why not? How many women do you know with a floor length black coat? Everyone will have to go out and buy one. Ports showed the dresses with flat hair bows that are another huge fall trend - and their new shoe line of Mary Janes with gold tipped heels and rubber bows - very modern. These dresses are mostly worn with gloves - and the good news, they aren't very winter-y: so you can wear them in the spring, too.

Morgane Le Fay, best known for their filmy wedding and black tie
fairy-tale style dresses, showed a fall collection that was trend-on,
and reminded us why these clothes are not just for nighttime. In mostly
blacks, whites and reds, the skirts did volume in a more Japanese
wrapped and origami way. The jackets were military and fitted and
buttoned and in longer lengths than at most designer's shows - and
therefore, more flattering. And the cocktail and long dresses were
spectacular in their crafsmanship - floating chiffon pieces, laser cut
bodices, and shoulder ties of chiffon that are dramatic and sweet at
the same time. And they cost a lot less than Oscar de la Renta gowns -
and weigh less, too.
