NYFW: BCBG Max Azria Fall 2011

Flowing materials, long(er) skirts and clean lines are all the rage for BCBG Max Azria’s Fall 2011 collection.  Rich mustard yellow and flashes of bright reds and blues–  a nice break from the classic muted pastels we normally see from BCBG– mixed with a tonal color palette that accentuated the structural designs of each piece. The contrast in the whispy materials accessorized with sculptural accessories created a new modern sophistication.  Turtlenecks were styled with just about every piece which was a little more conservative than what I am used to for this brand.  A new sheer black silk used for a floor length dress emphasizes a pair of slender legs or an elegant collarbone without baring too much for the winter months.  All in all, a winning collection.
Favorite Piece: V-neck multi colored wrap dress with charcoal piping.
Celebs: The brand’s chic simplicity drew in the young Hollywood crowd–  Jennifer Love Hewitt, Kelly Rowland (with her swanky new pixie cut), Maggie Rizer and Ashante all sat front row.
