New York Fashion Week FW 2011: Julian Louie, Jill Stuart, Prabal Gurung
Who: Julian Louie
What it made us think of: Learning basic shapes and primary colors
What we liked: Bright tights, architectural shoes (a collab with Aldo), color blocking, pockets
What we didn't: Elastic waistbands; the home-ec PJ pants (fine if worn as PJs); a couple boring, one-tone column dresses![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXu4gW-V2eAIWZAhZn8i3N8IednBFJik9fzomPjd_YAR1aJr46bprPSsaYQGzxMJbR7A_wICapNSv2tymJoyTCYewa4RSlqt_Up6dEJ1ut49lhzIHH0eAUuIBAVpOT_lURjyndI30ptZk/s400/Julian+Louie+New+York+Fashion+Week+Spring+Summer+2011+primay+colors+basic+shapes.jpg)
Who: Jill Stuart
What it made us think of: How an architect might seen natural
What we liked: Color blocking, nighttime fox & owl prints, geometric dresses, little belt bags
What we didn't: Repetition![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiSMpurbTUDKjHiIhyphenhyphenGb9cfEVbq-S7OuQ2Tg4qXa3SCLhpSzvL3DLUWkT05Lb_jTyK_5RQe8xac_zgN4IVbf3_s8tDAHR4e-zgcf9Rw5nHhiu00fj6F_qCLQVJFI5Kt9rTE_qRxAEoKto/s400/Jill+Stuart+New+York+Fashion+Week+Fall+Winter+2011+nature+fox+owl.jpg)
Who: Prabal Gurung
What it made us think of: What all the edgy rocker girls should be wearing to parties (a few looks already went to parties and drank too much, but they still worked)
What we liked: Criss cross tights, all the dresses, sheer overlays, pretty sleeves, edgy jackets, leather obi belts, lace, ruffles, menswear details
What we didn't: The section of sheer dresses with doodads sewn on, muppet coats
