RUNWAY: Jill Stuart Fall 2010 Womenswear

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Jill Stuart’s Fall 2010 collection screamed winter in London. Ruched dresses, lace-up knee boots, oversized scarves, floor length trench coats, bell hats and velvet mini dresses were turned motherland with classic tartan plaids, reds and blacks. It’s a major improvement from her Spring 2010 collection, but Stuart still has a few issues with putting on a show. With a music cut out, several delays between models and a last look that simply didn’t appear, I’m beginning to think Stuart needs to seek a new venue for her show and/or hire more models and a better sound crew. It’s Fashion Week lady, there’s no room for mistakes.
