New York Fashion Week: Vera Wang Spring 2010 RTW Collection

Posted on 18 September 2009 by Angelique

vera-wang31

Many people think of Vera Wang as a designer of bridal gowns. She’s definitely that, but most of her work is the creation of clothes that a stylish, fashion forward New Yorker (such as herself) wears. Her Spring 2010 collection featured high heels with ankle details, and scarves rendered in feather light layers that move with the body. It was also big on very wearable evening wear featuring much lavender on black.

Last February, Wang moved her runway show from Bryant Park to her boutique, and she did the same for her Spring 2010 collection. The show featured elegant, pulled together looks with bias cut trousers, ballerina skirts, and slouchy leggings. It was a nice respite from all the shorts that seemed to be on every runway this fashion season. Those who do not prefer to show their legs will have several stylish options, many of them coming from Wang’s collection.
