6119 Ilana Sunderland Fall 2009

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Ilana Sunderland would make a phenomenal architect. With her aesthetic focusing on structure, hard edges and straight lines, Sunderland, a mere second season designer, certainly gives Herve Leger a run for his money. Despite my applause for her structural symmetry and complexity, her color choice failed to impress. In combination with the strict structure, colors like espresso, midnight, onyx and ruby gave the garments a little over-the-hill/ funeral vibe. Such a shame…Sunderland’s spring color choice was amazing! Constructed for the tall and thin ladies of the world, 6119 isn’t exactly ready to wear. But let me tell you, if I were a boy, I’d be all over that  wool, crepe hooded, single-breasted suit! Better yet, Sunderland should make suits for the ladies! 

It’s Almost Fashion Week…Fashion Indie Is Getting InTents!

Thowing up the tents in Bryant Park!

Rocking out the Ports 1961 invitation scarf and showing off some of the Fashion Week invites. Be jealous.

If you were in Brooklyn Heights today and heard techno beats blaring, it was most likely coming from the Fashion Indie office. With Fashion Week only three days away, we can hardly contain our excitement! Although many of you won’t be able to join us at the tents, you can look forward to the Fashion Indie crew bringing the tents to you! Prepare to mark Fashion Indie as your homepage, because Friday marks a week of extensive Fashion Week coverage. From runway rundowns to event reviews and moments of style to celebrity run-ins, Fashion Indie is brining everything Fall/Winter 2009 to a computer near you! We don’t mean to rub it in, but here are just a few of the shows we will be attending: William Rast, Charlotte Ronson, Vivienne Tam, Venexiana, Ports 1961, Nicole Miller, Rad Hourani, Jillian Lewis, Ilana Sunderland, Laura Dawson and Barbara Tfank. In addition to the shows we received invites to, expect immediate coverage from all of your mainstream and indie designers!
