NY Fashion Week: Charlotte Ronson
Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News, Celebrities with Style
I wasn't even going to write about the Charlotte Ronson because I figured no one would know or care who Charlotte Ronson was. In all honesty, you need to know who Charlotte Ronson is because her runway show was awesome.
London native, Charlotte Ronson was born with the gift of a unique sense of style. At a young age she started making funky designs out of vintage shirts for her friends. This branched out to become her first collection and before you know it she was opening her flagship store in New York City. Ronson's designs have become favorites among celebrities like Kate Moss, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson, Mischa Barton, and Gwen Stefani.
Now that you have had your fashion lesson, back to the show ...
First of all the show reminded me of high school. I felt like she grasped all of the cliques looks and threw them together on a runway. There were goofy glasses, preppy cardigans, 70's inspired plaids, and nonchalant stoner gear.
I loved it.
I can tell that these looks (especially by their Hollywood following) will be big hits in the Spring. Especially the wide leg pants, high waisted shorts, and plaid. Yellow, grays, black and white were also star players in this collection so keep a look out for that palette to be in your closet in Spring '08.
Overall rating: Gimme some more. Many of these looks/ pieces will be in my Spring 2008 wardrobe.

Umm... excuse me, Ms. Messiah... But what exactly do you mean by "these looks will be big hits in Spring?" Aren't "wide leg pants, high waisted shorts, and plaid" already in fashion now? Every store, from Kitson to Saks to Forever 21 is carrying these styles. Even her color palette; yellow, gray, black and white isn't new. Yellow was the "in" color for Spring/Summer 07, Gray has already been declared the Fall 07 color and black and white... well have they ever really gone away?
So perhaps Charlotte Ronson's designs blew you away, but she certainly isn't creating any new trends here...
And, P.S.- if those pictures of Ronson's designs are supposed to convince anyone that she is a trendsetter, then you should've taken a look at any teen or tween fashion website before you made your declarations.
