Day in Review: 9/11

The scoop from the runways, backstage and beyond.

Robert Geller was outstanding. The models backstage spraying themselves down with Axe? Less so.

Hipster garden party at Bespoken. It's a good fit for the crisp suits and matching shirts and ties.

 

Motorcycle jackets and monk strap shoes kick off Loden Dager's spring show.

How did we end up living in this all-bets-are-off world where sockless Brooklyn hipsters with Edwardian moustaches make artisanal pickles while, across the bridge, desperate office chicks believe they have no social currency unless they own 398 handbags?

The look: "Early nineties life on the terraces of Warsaw's concrete tower blocks, nattily updated to the New York-Tokyo-Paris standard," says Hamilton.

Seen last night on Fifth Avenue going to Bergdorfs.

3.1 Phillip Lim tries to accomplish the impossible: making leather shorts actually look cool. "I think the key is to make it look naïve," Lim explained backstage after his show. "Like, 'Yo, I just found it and I think I'm going to put it on.'"

Color for the season: nude.

A softer collection from Patrik Ervell. Great blazers, trim pleated trousers and leather back packs. Plus, the runway was made from stacks of newspapers. Who says print is dead?

At Duckie Brown's runway show, American Crew unveiled new products for thinning and curly hair.
