New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2010
Who: Koi Suwannagate
What it made us think of: Traditional Japanese clothing (the inspiration for the show) reworked to for the modern, funky, playful American woman
What we liked: appliques, prints, lovely folds, kimono style tops
What we didn't: A few pieces looked clunky (the evening dress) in an otherwise light, fun collection.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgeEvQ42OXSXog7_znM0zmtKFNhnNnk-3mYtVz7h2-IuN5DXltHPO_4uGimrMA9n6wuiWUR3hqq3vY4124sYW0LX-Oq3Gv7wVPhvvhyacyJayz_iWCkJ-Kjy_8uBO4ksuYa2ydDJtS2YXr/s400/Koi+Suwannagate+Fall+Winter+2010+New+York+Fashion+Week.jpg)
Who: Ruffian
What it made us think of: The parts I like reminded me of sophisticated secretaries with equestrian hobbies.
What we liked: button boots, pussy bow blouses, black and white textured prints (plaid, polka dot), watercolor prints, suits
What we didn't: I normally like sparkly, sequin-y embellishments, but some of these looks cheap in the photos. High-waisted skinny pants, the half-moon embellishments.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijDrHKxOxICmhegDTa6LVzzJ5BeShaV1DfsMQcutpOdcydwop6-mMVs9HC1vytJz8N_h_ZoF2NNoxh9EcFkxAkSWEwfVTM9aPxXz1wRXoD6jUQ9R95lKjVTPoG3yLOs3rhDsPy5-GksbFt/s400/Ruffian+Fall+Winter+2010+New+York+Fashion+Week.jpg)
Who: Erin Fetherston
What it made us think of: The typical Erin Fetherston girl re-imagined in seventies boho/rocker chic.
What we liked: flowing dresses, pretty prints (many involving birds!), bow bodices
What we didn't: velour/velvet sweatsuit, horizontal striped lace, velour jeans, it was all very pretty but the dresses were a bit repetitive

Who: Costello Tagliapietra
What it made us think of: How fabric would drape itself around the female form if it had a mind of it's own
What we liked: pretty draping, rich colors, cinched waists
What we didn't: Nothing![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMGYqAQMxQ-l63QWMbKU496VFrOIRV1xsWMrbrVBqLpPAY5e4gXe1kzWbLljnbdrjYdRNQPQ7F3BsXI2LMVnbj0q_wNUW4LVgXJ4LIZe3kmOplnPjfZHKAgZPKMnxaFiAeJzHYY9oqmtUL/s400/Costello+Taflipietra+Fall+Winter+2010+New+York+Fashion+week.jpg)
