Jeremy Laing S/S 06 - New York

[iperlchen]

NEW YORK, September 16, 2005 – Jeremy Laing is a stealth entry to the spring season. Though his show, 19-looks strong, was not posted on the fashion calendar, he presented Sunday in the elegant, marble-floored Knoll showroom. It's the second time out for this 26-year-old Toronto native, who has worked with the London-based label Preen and with Alexander McQueen. Last fall, he showed a promising collection—assembled in just three weeks—at Lia Gangitano's Participant Inc. gallery. But spring found him solidly prepared and in an elegant mood. Many of the clothes featured what he called a volant silhouette: winglike extensions of cloth that created a graphic line when viewed in profile, but beautifully framed the draped pieces when seen straight on. Dresses and skirts had full trapeze shapes. Pants were high-waisted and paired with coats, emphasizing a long line, while shorts were toped with vests and boleros. Fabrics ranged from airy parachute silks and luminous taffeta to more-substantial canvas and tie silk. The collection wasn't perfect, but it was a find, and Laing may well be ready for his own timeslot.

i have to agree with the reviewer...

not perfect but this shows incredible promise...

EDIT:..haha lena...we said the same thing...

The yellow dress is indeed too adorable, I never would have combined it with that color steel blue pumps but it matches greatly I think. What's so good about this collection imo is that the influences are visible but not dominating.. at all.

I'm already looking forward to his next season

He's great. Missed this show but saw his debut last season--Victorian menswear and sport influences mixed. It was very cool. I'm really sorry I missed out on this one.

This is a lovely collection, especially the jackets and coat-dresses, though some pieces are a bit weak. It's refreshingly different from the other NY designers so far. His construction and tailoring talents are being put to good use here. His F/W 05 on his website was a bit puzzling, though some pieces are nice.
