New York fashion week is well under way for Spring 2009 at Bryant Park. Yesterday, British design duo Preen took to the catwalk (although Justin Thornton attended alone whilst his partner is heavily pregnant) to present their latest collection.
Preen have really been a name to watch for recent seasons and they're sure to become a household name very soon.

It's quite grey here in London today so imagine how much Michael Kors has managed to brighten up my day with his Spring 2009 collection. The fun, playful line from Michael Kors was shown yesterday morning as part of New York Fashion Week.
There were plenty of polka dots, stripes and even a bit of tartan in the line which used a bright colour palette of tomato red, canary yellow and cobalt blue.

British designer Matthew Williamson took his Spring 2009 collection to New York Fashion Week yesterday presenting a line of beautifully structured dresses. Incorporating plenty of colour and spangle, the designer also used the opportunity to launch his accessories line.
Bright floral prints were trimmed with gold to create a boho party style that is sure to go down nicely in Ibiza next summer.

The official fourth day of 2009 Spring New York Fashion Week opened (surprisingly on time) with a show from Twinkle by Wenlan. As the sun continues to shine in the American capital of style, Twinkle presented a gorgeous collection of feminine and playful styles similar to styles seen at Chloe. There was a '50's/'60's feel to the collection which compromised mainly of sun dresses and high waisted tailored shorts with the occasional pair of vintage style trousers.

Remember my quickie where I revealed Rebecca Taylor would delve into the world of Northern European fairytales? Taylor's Fall collection proved not as imaginary as I thought, but still churned out several covetable looks. Dresses and blouses were ultra girlie and diaphanous, while lush pieces like fur vests, structured coats, and studded leather provided contrast.

Posen found solace in a retro, eclectic Fall collection. The '40s were beckoned through square shoulders, skirt suits, tweed, ruffles, and country florals. The palette was totally autumnal: beige, gold, pumpkin, storm gray, but kicked up a notch with scarlet red, silky lilac, and noir.

I knew Marchesa was going to be special when, as I ran into the entrance to escape the rain, Diane Kruger's and my eyes met. Only for a nanosecond, as she was on her way back into the rain, she slipped on her shades and was off like Cinderella. Many of the billowing gowns and fairytale frocks inside were fit for princess Diane.

Phillip Lim's Fall collection was clearly a nod to the groovy '60s. Rocking to Siouxsie and the Banshees in the background, models strutted down the runway wearing impeccably cut coats, tailored pants, and printed dresses. His offerings might appear busy at first glance, but each piece has a defining quality.

If you think the front rows at New York Fashion Week are crazy fun, try going backstage. Designers put finishing touches on their clothes, models get their hair and makeup done and act silly before they hit the runway, celebs receive all-star treatment, and fashion folk rub elbows. If you've ever wondered what goes on backstage at Fashion Week, here's your chance.
