Earn Your Stripes

Stripes made a strong comeback this season at New York's Fall RTW, though not in the conventional sense. Straightforward (and slightly nautical) stripes were out. In their place is every abstract interpretation of the line ever conceived.

Pictured above are the most traditional faces of the trend, but Fashion Week attendees saw everything from organic stripes verging on tribal to heavily structured styles branching every which way.

G-Star Stands Out at NY Fashion Week

G-Star made their highly anticipated fall debut at New York's Fall/Winter Shows this Tuesday with a surprising splash of color. Signature pockets and collars showed the brand held true to their roots, but instead of the usual dour shades punctuated with the occasion flash of bright, the runway was flooded with electric shades of blue, yellow, and even green mixed in with the more muted tones of brown and beige.

Also novel was the runway, which in recent years has been populated with trampolines, shifting screens and myriad avant garde effects. This season saw an elegant (albeit stationary) runway with interlocking lines and a background of minimal lasers, but the simplicity of the set only made the styles pop more.
