Jonathan Cohen Fall 2014

For Fall 2014 Jonathan Cohen stayed true to his designs and showed wonderful prints in a limited range of colors and incorporated solids for the first time I believe which evoked a 1970's feel in the construction of the garments. He also has a collaboration going with Saga Furs which can only get this young designers name out there even more. Once again it's not a big collection but with a sea-saw global economy he's making his moves in the fashion world smartly!

For the record he comes out of the house of Oscar De la Renta which in my opinion reflects in his construction of garments. Seams line up correctly, stitching is accurate and overall finishing of his pieces are precise!

Ann Yee Fall 2014

Amid terrible weather condition designer Ann Yee presented her fall 2014 collection to a snow beaten group of fashion editors and photographers. Yee is a new designer on my radar screen but demonstrates focus and direction in her designs. Her dominant color is grey scale which in photographic terms represents white to black and everything in-between.

The standout pieces and there are quite a few are her knit creations and her black and white print jacket. In regards to the kint pieces she seems to have chosen a good gauge regarding the weight of the knits, they are not thin but not overly chunky and have a relaxed comfy yet stylish feel to them.

Working in this grey scale color palette allows many possibilities but moreso continues the fall color trend we have been seeing in seasons past. When in doubt always wear black but now you can add grey to the mix. This was a short sweet and to the point collection, just what this editor loves!
