Post Market Wrap - New York City

New York, New York!! I think most people will agree that NY's shows and fairs are not particulaly exciting (perhaps with the exception always relevant and exciting Marc Jacobs) but they hold the brands that are the bread and butter of the business.  Not much new at coterie other than the infestation of celebrity brands like Chick by Nicky Hilton and Lauren Conrads line (rep'd by Lauren herself).  Below are my top 10 pics, in no particular order, of the New York shows:

10) 3.1 Phillip Lim - wonderful layering, fabulous shots of cobalt blue and urban cool at its best

9) Alexander Wang - simplistic grunge

8) Derek Lam - understated uptown chic

7) Erin Fetherston - dark simple shapes infused with flowing floral themes

6) Jenni Kayne - a dream for today's hipster girl

5) Jill Sander - simplistic bliss

4) Jovovich Hawk - quirky cool

3) Narciso Rodriguez - clean and sexy

2) Zero Maria Cornejo - playful colour

1) Marc Jacobs - modest and new
