To make up for a lack of posts in the last two weeks, I present to you John Patrick's Spring 2010 fashion show...
Replete with supermodels, celebs, and fashion's big wigs, the show maintained a low-key vibe set in a historic Midtown Manhattan steakhouse. Models like Lindsay Wixson (a new industry fave) were posed, in character, as Bohemian creative types. Separated from the bunch was Shalom Harlow in a menswear look.

Classic trenches, drop waist shifts, high-waisted skirts, nautical striped tees, and washed floral dresses with a nip at the waist were presented in natural fibers like silk, cotton, and vegetable dyed leather. Accessories like sheer silk knee-high socks, chunky pearls, strappy heels, and deep red lips tied the ensembles to the prohibition-era setting. And, as with all John Patrick's collections, the novelty details (boyfriend sizing, 40's era shoulders and skirts, and 20's waistlines and fabrics) were pulled together with utility basics in a way that exudes timelessness and fashion wit.
