Victoria Beckham NY fashion show commemorates 9/11
NEW YORK - The 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks cast a pall over New York Fashion Week on Sunday, where Victoria Beckham's event paused twice to commemorate the fallen Twin Towers.
The designer's football legend husband David Beckham, and their eldest son Brooklyn stood up alongside Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour to observe the second of two moments of silence, an AFP reporter said.
They were the only people standing shortly before the catwalk show got underway at Capriani on Wall Street after the doors opened at 9:30 am.
Moments of silence were observed at 9:59 am, the time when the World Trade Center's South Tower collapsed, and at 10:28 am when the North Tower gave way.
Altuzarra
On the same day as Beckham's show, Altuzarra wowed the fashion pack with a fun, flirty and sexy spring/summer collection inspired by David Lynch's 1990 film "Wild at Heart" and by exploring what he called "a modern take on romance and kitsch."
"I wanted the collection to feel happy, vibrant and erotically charged," the French-American designer wrote in the notes, and he certainly achieved that.
Altuzarra sent down the runway ruffle dresses in cherry and python print, tailored gingham blazers and dresses, and flounced bras worn with pencil skirts and flounced hems. He reimagined ribbed knits as off-the-shoulder dresses.
For evening, there were delighted oohs and aahs for multitiered organza gowns covered in sequin embroideries of cherries, pineapples, lemons and blueberries.
The result was a riot of color—pink, yellow and orange—and an unabashed collection for spring/summer albeit as other design houses tear up the schedule and offer collections for fall/winter that are instantly available to buy. — Agence France-Presse
