library chic/ 1940's chic? lots of volume/ bows ... not too pleased with it.. anyone with free streaming photos??

I just saw the collection live, and I really liked it. It didnt ring "Library Chic" to me, but it did feel alittle older than Tuleh has seemed to design for before.

I still liked it--though the blouse with poufy-sleeves didnt seem like it would make it past the runway.

But I thought it was a good collection-- nothing to really remember, but it did have some lovely pieces.

I really liked the black pencil skirt, with matching jacket, and feathered hat-- that was probably the climax of the collection.

May I ask if any of you who saw the live stream also saw Hana there?

 

[cablackmon]

Sorry, I dont really remember ever seeing her. I dont think she was at that show.

But Hana was at the Diane von Furstenburg show. She had on this really nice black pants suit i think!

I thought the show was gorgeous, really pretty and soft!

I thought it was very 40's, but almost too literal to be wearable. Definitely older and more refined than his usual stuff, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

I am in love with this coat, though:

And Elena Baguci looks stunning there.

Anyways, though, I have to support Bryan Bradley for going from my fashion-starved hometown in Wisconsin to being one of New York's huge insider labels!!

the collection is up at style.com:

NEW YORK, February 5, 2006 – The enigmatic Bryan Bradley provided just a handful of clues as to what his show was about, dropping references to Vassar girls, Edie "Grey Gardens" Beale, and a stranger with matched suitcases. In the end though, it didn't matter so much who the characters were that populated Bradley's imagination; what counted was that they inspired one of his prettiest shows to date.

There was a definite East Coast patrician feel to the collection, which opened with "Vassar Girls" in slim forties-style pencil skirts that hit below the knee, and continued with "Suitcase Girls" in cinched-waist coats. Luxe is Bradley's catchword, and his furs, often combining species, were especially alluring. A white corsage-trimmed jacket and stole was costumey, but in an intriguing Hollywood-studio-days kind of way. The same could not be said of some of the feather flourishes, however.

Bradley's favorite ornaments for fall were outsize rosettes and generous bows, and his prints, as usual, were mainly florals. Such decorative tendencies notwithstanding, there was an overall feeling of restraint. This was evident in a brown monk's dress and, to a somewhat lesser extent, in an oil-black satin sleeveless dress and an ivory stand-collar one. A geometric red coat in the "Strangers" section missed the mark, though.

Moodier than spring's collection, this show was also more tightly focused. If Bradley was inspired by an "exotic and distinguished" stranger, loyal Tuleh fans—each of whom found a handwritten note on her chair—will find the quality and loveliness of this collection reassuringly familiar.

[Pastry]

holy moly! why does new york fashion week always always manage to pop up these utterly boring 40's - 30's references?!

since when can't we rely on new talent to produce more groundbreaking fashion? is it an attempt to be more commercial? well, showroom is another thing, eh?

boooring i say!
