Lincoln Center was buzzing yesterday with the first full schedule of runway shows and presentations. The room swirled with people at different ends of the fashion industry hierarchy. Photographers circled like sharks outside and in. Bloggers and journalists crowded the media pit, uploading the stories.
Past the central area, accessory designers like Circa and Bodhi Handbags showcased precious gold clutches, andmetallic leather bags respectively. Bodhi is showing at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week for the first time with their fall/winter 2011 collection. their creative/design director, Joseph Janus has made sure to offer items that men and women will swoon over, from duffelbags to iPad covers.
Streetstyle of the fashion set ranged from relaxed to high maintenance, but a certain trend seems to be in action: leopardskin prints. From thrift store style overcoats, to jackets, to footwear- the spots were everywhere. A short jacket was worn with a flowing shirt, leather leggings, aviator sunglasses, and a fringed bag. The leopard lent a rockstar raffishness to the wearer, very Keith Richards.
A variation was a leopard print scarf primly wound round the neck of a woman wearing a gorgeous white princess line coat, acting as a hint of naughtiness. A military-hued olive coat and bag were offset by a skyscraper tall pair of leopardskin heels and pale tights in the same pattern, to stunning effect.
