NEW YORK’S CATWALKS

Von Furstenberg’s blazers.

Strong shoulders and high heels.

Women of power wear their cuirass.

Chiffon and leather jackets for Ferretti.

Next year autumn-winter collections walk down the catwalk and it is a “power-women” trend.

Power women and women with power, but belonging to the new generation.

We are not talking about the careerists or the super rigid ones of the nineties, but about the strong and very feminine ones Michelle Obama style, just to make an example.

Important shoulders and naked legs.

Alberta Ferretti presents a woman with a chiffon dress and leather boots and jackets.

Intriguing heels and white and rigid collars. “I have always wished to run a man life in a woman body” writes the fashion designer commenting her catwalk “Metamorphosis”.

A triumph of house-coat like dresses (the wrap dresses, the brand’s strong suit), double breasted blazers, mermaid dresses and leather jackets for the evening; tricot pullovers and biker style trousers.

Victoria Beckham presents fluid dresses crossed by big zips both in silk and in stretch fabric for sheath dresses.

Custo, the most famous Spanish designer proposes fur and metal, experimental fabrics (polyester and aluminium) and special decorations: manga style printed suede.

The Y3 girl of Yoji Yamanoto for Adidas presents…

Leggins and Arabic style trousers, wrapping shirts and sneakers with heels.

Diane Von Furstenberg president of the Chamber of Fashion in New York: “We Americans are united and are a team. But the Italians remain unique and the greatest traders”.
