Fashion Week Gets Sketchy

Replacing the political campaigning of last fall as the design motif of the Bryant Park tents? A back-to-basics approach that uses sketches, photographs, fabrics, and other images from the studio inspiration walls of some of the designers showing inside. Scattered bulletin board-style among inspiring Polaroids (may they rest in peace) are fabric swatches—that bit of black lace above comes courtesy of Dennis Basso—and other graphic elements with pinked edges are sketches from designers such as Erin Fetherston, Rachel Roy for Barbie, Rebecca Taylor, and Tadashi Shoji (that’s his ruffle-fronted frock pictured above, at far right), who will show his collection tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Modem continues to up the cover art ante for its seasonal mini-guidebook to the collections.
