Malan Breton's Kyoto Wonderland for Fall 2011
2:10 PM
amora
BPR Field Reporter, Nancy T attended Malan Breton's show this morning and sends us this report. Thank you Nancy!
Malan Breton doesn't hold fashion shows -- he holds events. Last season's collection featured a pas de deux in Paris. The Fall 2011 season's culmination: a Japanese wedding. Malan's events are always memorable and beautiful.
As befitting a fashion show culminating in a wedding, the styles this time seemed (for the most part) to signal seriousness and commitment. The inspiration was classical Japanese kimonos and obis, with nary a trace of contemporary Japanese design. Styling was more formal and tailored than in Malan's previous collections, though Breton stayed with luxurious silks and wools. The collection consisted of monochromatic pieces with a dramatic palette of black, white, and jewel tones. The men were dressed for work in the pre-casual-Friday era. Most of the womens' outfits were modest and appropriate for all ages.
But, Malan always throws in a few curves to keep it interesting. This time, it was the use of unusual materials on several pieces -- an alligator suit here, a red sequin trouser there, lace pajama suit (for the honeymoon?) and a skirt made of duck feathers. And, the event ended with Malan's friends ready for their wedding. The couple looked radiant: Baron wore an alligator kimono and wool suit, Irina wore a ruby silk wedding dress. The outfits might look bizarre at a wedding at a 21st Century Kyoto shrine, but were divine here in Manhattan.

Mondo Guerra and Seth Aaron Henderson recently spoke to a crowd of students and faculty at the University of Rhode Island.
A highlight: Before sewing away on "Project Runway," Henderson was spending his days framing houses in California. On the other hand, Guerra was working retail at an amusement park, a profession, and a uniform, he hated.
"I'm not really a polo shirt kind of guy...with khaki pants, I mean who does that," Guerra joked.

BPR Field Reporter Ali G. sends us this excellent report and photos from Leanne's show. Thank you Ali, Suede and especially Leanne for generously offering seats to BPR readers.
Hi BPR,
It’s Ali G. reporting from the Leanne Marshall fashion show. It happened on Sunday, February 13, 2011 at the Helen Mills Event Space in New York City. Leanne showcased her Fall 2011 collection.
It was absolutely wonderful. There were about 15 looks in the collection. The theme appeared to be modern elegance. The collection was like looking in the closet of the 2011 sophisticate.
Leanne used rich and luxurious fabrics, mainly in solid black, tan, and red but there was a super chic print which reminded me of a multicolored tweed. Most looks had Leanne’s trademark folding and pleating.
