Yes, I still have an abundance of f/w ’11 nyfw shows to share! My shooting schedule lately has taken more time away from blogging, but now that things have calmed a bit for the next few days, it’s nice to revisit some photos from the last two months.
Frank Tell’s f/w ’11 show was held in the tents for the first time this year, thanks to a sponsorship from W hotels. The Box, the smallest space in the tents seemed to be packed to the gills with spectators trying to catch a glimpse of the presentation.
Luckily for everyone, it repeated a second time, so I was able to squeeze forward into the photographer’s area and snap some photos.
Frank’s f/w ’10 collection was one of my favorites of the season (and also one of the most visually stunning presentations). But I didn’t care much for s/s ’11. It seemed slightly boring by comparison. Fall marked the return of my favorite Frank, the one that takes risks with edgy, torn garments, leathers, and crazy knits.
The look was post-apocalpytic huntress wear. With Mad Max-ish mohawk hairdos thrown into the mix. Frank admitted to finding inspiration by watching a lot of dark end of the world movies, like Planet of the Apes, prior to creating this collection– something that was very apparent to everyone in the room.
I could see pieces from this collection being worn by the cast of The Hunger Games.
When grouped together, some of the looks might seem extreme, but I found the collection to be enviously wearable, at least for those of us with a darker sense of style.
When the world ends, I know which collection I’ll want to be wearing.
