Trina Turk’s five vignettes’ presentation of men’s (Mr. Turk) and women’s (mostly) separates started the official first day of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week NY--- and got us in the mood for some wardrobe additions NOW.
Cocktails by a Palm Spring’s patio has been a fashiony inspiration of collections since the 60’s--- with iconic images of society’s swankest captured at the moment--- serving as jump off points for entire wardrobes…(see Douglas Hannant Resort for example).
Trina Turk’s collections live that life 365, 24-7…and for her 15th anniversary gave NYers a taste for the good life.
Bright prints (Laguna plaid, Avocado Tiger Leaf), bright colors (Key Lime, Hot Pink…), and a light dab of the retro added up to a lot of charm…
The Backgammon Challenge
PLUS; Assorted beach lifestyle accessories…like handbags, printed towels, colorful fabrics for in/outdoors for textile giant Schumacher, tabletop items.
There wasn’t an item of clothing anywhere that didn’t fit the MO…
WE LOVED:
More mode was some jersey pieces…a Fatigue/Ivory Stripe Dolman Sweater, Stone pants and TT’s Koi necklace and Swag Ring.
Most Likely To Be Worn By A First Lady: This terrific yellow Citrus dress.
