New York City - Barneys ss06 trunk shows

[shalu]

hey shalu i saw the derek lam stuff today, and trunk show starts tomorrow, and Derak himself will actually be at barneys to help. but besides that the clothes are ZzZZzzzZZzzzZ. ss 06 is a direct continuation of fw 05, i dont see any change its the same stuff. I think we received 85 pieces.

Thanks for the info EdK... I think I'll be skipping this one... can't wait for Lanvin though... please post pics if you can!

^please take pics for the Lanvin clothes
I guess that Balenciaga didn't come with trunks because it was right after the trunkshow in the boutique so they only need to drive them over

 

[EdK]

^ yes caffeine, i think they just drove them over in a cab. and for lanvin, ill try to take pics of pieces which i think is key, so well see how that goes.

Btw, I'm particularly interested in any pieces that cut against the grain of the collection as a whole, following the looser silhouette of many of the resort pieces, like this SS coat did (I just need something lighter for my climate, I was hoping for a blouse

If you see anything along these lines, I would love a picture Thanks.

 

[EdK]

alright ill see what i can do

 

[EdK]

its actually 6 trunks, not 12. 12 wouldve been crazy! well i will be seeing some LAHNVAHN tomorrow yay!

A quick OT q: Is it difficult to get a job at Barneys? Do you have to be referred? (Sorry if this is a silly q )

i would love to have to blak balenciaga shirt but almost $1000 for a tank is insane.

 

[EdK]

ok so i saw the stuff today, but unfortunately i couldnt take pics, i wouldve got in a great deal of trouble, they are very strict about things like this. I thought it would be ok, i guess not

 

[EdK]

by the way fashionista, we bought that dress you posted a pic of. and the flower is like a plastic toy, kinda quirky, the petals are like a clear plastic and the bud int he middle is swarovski crystals.

 

[shalu]

EdK, tell us more about the collection. What did you think of it?

Yeah, that pin was one of my favorite things from the show Do you remember the price?

 

[EdK]

its 3,345. Lavin show was just insane, so many pieces were bought for SS 06. The shoes were also rediculously priced. Those round toe heels with the ankle straps are like 925...

 

[fashionista-ta]

Ed, are you saying the pin is $300-345, or $3,345??? It can't be the latter, right? Or did Alber personally apply the Swarovski crystals to the plastic flower one by one with his teeth?

 

[EdK]

no that pin is a part of the dress, and the entire thing is 3,345.

 

[fashionista-ta]

Ah, I see Thanks for checking.

i went and checked out the lanvin...

i now have the scoop on the resort vs spring mystery...


...


they had both collections there...
and they will carry pre-spring....
which is definitely way better than spring!!!

pre-spring begins to arrive in jan, feb, march...
spring arrives feb, march, apr
etc...

my favourite dress was there...and less $$$ than i thought...
apparently very popular as well......

my real faves were the bug jewelry from pre-spring...
i didn't order any of it though because the chances are very good that it will not go into production......
at least i got to see it...it was gorgeous...my heart was racing...

if anyone has the chance to go to a lanvin trunk show in your area...
i really recommend it for the pre-spring alone...
they even had the hats there......
which i am also sure will not go into production...


ta-ta...
*the pin is really cute and the fabric of that coat/dress is different than i imagined...
i though it was a crushed velvet...
but it is actually a heavy crumpled sateen...
very nice actually...
better in person...
sort of more casual and relaxed...one of the better runway pieces...

 

[Caffeine]

Thank you softie!
Did you see the dress shown in the first page of this thread? Do you remember the price?

 

[softgrey]

hmmm....no i don't remember seeing it...
i think they had all the accessories...
but only the clothing that they actually purchased...
so they may not have bought that...
but the spring stuff wasn't very 'striking' so i could have missed it......

ed would be able to find out for you i assume...
