Its fashion week again! Yay! I decided this Fall/ Winter 2010 fashion week to get to know more independent designers and showcase them. Everyone and their mom is covering New York Fashion Week via style.com. (I will still be covering shows I attend). So the first designer I bring to you is Hernan Lander. I had the opportunity to attend his presentation yesterday at the Open House Gallery in Lolita. The base colors for his collection were black, white and silver/gray with a pop of purple (my favorite color in case you were wondering). It was clear by the cut of each garment that the designer is well trained and has an eye for detail. The notable fabrics used were snakeskin, fur and soft gauzy knits. The collection was displayed on mannequins and styled by Rene Garza in a way that made the mannequins look like they were alive and moving at some point in the evening.

Love the beadwork on this dress

The design of these pants! I’m in Love!

All and all it was a really nice presentation with great bubbly and fashion.  I can’t wait for next season!

Until then,
