Llibertine continues to stride as a fashion trendsetter amongst the last week of New York Fall Fashion 2011 week. They are total androgyny yet meets the technology and futuristic colors and lines that are possible.  And, quite possibly will out do the level of branding of the past ten year successes of  Marc Jacobs.  Taking lines and fragmented ideas of inner workings of engineers, this line saw their meal ticket in young computer savvy consumers through colorful graphic lines on leggings and mixing a bunch of different fabrics and silhouettes on styling.  Best predictions, however, goes to the success of Prabal Gurung .  Their frocks are sexy, luxurious and fun.  No girlishness lost on the drapes yet swinging with the funky of new fashion sets.  Romantic and loving the body, the designer understands the form of a female and how she feels sexy.

These days one need not actually go to the actual tents at Lincoln Center because you can actually watch it from the live feed online.  This perplexing idea comes to the aid of fashion buyers and manufacturers, yet to the seasoned stylists and editors, it makes it so that even what you perceive to be the next hot designer, could end disastrously.  Now a days, the fashion weeks in both NYC and LA, are really for Star F'ks.  Pardon my french, but that seems to be the only reason KCD and La Force and Stevens have the honor of charging tens of thousands for a show that could be just as filled by Snooky types.  I personally I think Snooky isn't a role model, but a highly followed personality among teens and that is why she is being invited to Grammy and fashion shows.  Her style isn't mine but there is no denying that her fan base will eventually lead to her own fashion label.  Maybe not a Gwen Stephanie boutique label, but certainly a new mall brand. 

Still fashion isn't dull.  Those fashion labels struggling to survive have a hard tough rode ahead.  Note to self, most boutiques on 5th avenue and along Soho and Nolita have closed due to bad economy.  Fashion exists online and if any indication comes from the two hip designers fist mentioned here, we have a long ride to see how fashion changes in the next ten years.
