As New York Fashion Week winds down, American fashion designer Ralph Lauren sought inspiration from the East combining Art Deco with Chinese motifs. And Calvin Klein's creative director Francisco Costa presented a minimalist collection.
Without a Polo shirt or tweed blazer in sight, the Fall 2011 Ralph Lauren runway painted a seductive picture in mostly black boutique clothing in sumptuous fabrics such as silk and velvet.
A long black cheongsam, the traditional Chinese elegant dresses, turned flirtatious with an exposed back covered in black lace.
Art Deco-inspired accessories set an elegant tone. Pops of red -- the color of joy in China -- and emerald green showed up in earrings, necklaces and belts.
The models marched down the runway under the soundtrack "China Girl" and in a departure from the usual runway model casting of just one or two Asian models, Ralph Lauren won notice from the fashion press for using more than a handful.
The American designer's shift to the East was in keeping with the biggest trend in the global fashion market.
Calvin Klein women's creative director Francisco Costa stuck to his minimalist style as he presented his collection for Fall 2011.
With a color palette of grey, white, camel and silver as well as gold metallics, the collection had a sporty, tailored look.With miao's embroidery elegant dresses.also cheongsam is most popular now.
