BCBG Max Azria S/S 09 New York City

there are a few things i don't like but i'm surprised with BCBG. some really beautiful dresses...
 
I'm in love, it looks perfect for summer. To bad Australia won't be seeing this untill next summer (we are entering our summer right now.) I have a vintage bcbg dress that reminds me of this collection.
 
A lot of it looked like jersey in person. It had the ease and gentle swing of that fabric, but I know some of it was actually silk. But I did like this collection quite a bit. A return to basics for Max - smart minimalism isn't always commercially friendly but that makes his turn towards understatement even more applaudable. I'm up to my elbows in sateen blouses, so we can stop now. Most of these hues are flat, matte, and muted - a trend I've seen at almost every show so far. He also played with constructional values for once (innovative draping), proving he still has an eye for design, not just embellishment.
 
I can always turn to BCBG for something flirty and feminine. Very very lovely and Edita looks stunning.
 
It's undeniable that the dresses are beautiful but I feel like it's done before and that there is nothing new...
 
i like how dark and dull colors like navy blue and gray are still around and then sudden bursts of colors like orange and pink come in out of nowhere. i love how Kasia and Irina K looks this season! they have matured so much!
 
I have to say again that I LOVE the heels and the dress Karlie is wearing.
 
the dresses are nice but I have seen this MANY TIMES before in other collections , it reminds me of Topshop unique esp the jumpsuits and pants which I hate . Dresses are pretty though.
 
it didnt wow me as much as it is wowing most everyone else... but i do like it, i suppose. it grew on me more as i looked at more of it.
 
B)the dress is very Lanvin 08 fall.

There's been alot of silk and satin for the past 2 days! But as much as I'm loving soft and light movements of dresses and gowns, I'm not feeling for this collection. Too versace...
 
the shoes are very givenchy 08 fall, :smile:

i liked it. Sure nothing big you know just a good summer collection. Loved the mood and feel to the collection like as if they were out in the sun all day idk. good collection. Btw loved how karlie looks.....matured and looks fab
 
I really like this collection, even if it is nothing new. The draping is beautiful, and I love the pops of color, especially the teal and orange.

I wish we had better close-ups of the draping. I like this one:

And I really like the idea of a sporty see-through jacket paired with the feminine draped clothes (although it was paired with pants and a tank on the runway).
