New York: Footwear Report-My Top 3

Seeing as I work in the footwear industry I thought it would be fun to report on the shoes of fashion week. I didn't get too excited about any of the shoes from New York though, I am looking forward to London this week as I think there will be some crazy shoes coming down the catwalk.

Here is what stood out for me from New York, from top:

1. Proenza Schouler-Aggresive: Chunky Platform
2. Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte-Mixing it up: Lace up Sandals
3. Marc Jacobs-Sensible but Sweet: Low Points

Texture at Rodarte

Well, I missed the Alexander Wang show when it was broadcast live on Showstudio because I was out celebrating my boyfriends b-day, but I did catch the Rodarte show tonight.
Watching this show live I realized that I paid a lot more attention to the details and I could actually sense the weight of the clothing. This is definitely the way forward, more live shows gives everyone a chance to experience what only a few editors, celebrities and press get to experience. I know that you can watch the shows on video on style.com the next day but it is just not the same. Watching this show live on Showstudio we got to see the fashion crowd walk in, see where they sit and who they talk to,  you get to feel the buzz and hear the actual music the designers have chosen for the show. It is like you are a little fly on the wall of fashion week.
These are my favourite looks from the Rodarte show, I especially love the tattered sheepskin draped over the shoulders.

The Future Fashion Tent?

Showstudio will be streaming the Alexander Wang (Feb 13) and Rodarte (Feb 16) shows from New York Fashion Week live on their site. I didn't manage to catch the live stream of the Alexander McQueen show last season and so am looking forward to finally seeing one. Hopefully it doesn't crash.
What do you think of this live streaming fashion shows trend? Along with bloggers reporting literally as the models walk past them, will fashion become even faster?
