Lyn Devon/Marlon Gobel SS12 Collections

Bright pops of color were prominent in Lyn Devon's and Marlon's Gobel spring/summer collections. Lyn Devon was inspired by sunny picnics while Marlon Gobel was inspired by supermarket aisles. It seems like food was on their minds as well.


Honor designer Giovanna Randall kept it chic & girly with peter pan collars, sheer fabrics, and lots of full skirts. Natsuko Kanno of 4 Corners of a Circle was very much intrigued with Akira Kurosawa's Dream and expressed the boldness of the Japanese aesthetic.


Lela Rose presented one of my personal favorite collections during NYFW. Drawing inspiration from the neon signs in Las Vegas and Cone Island, she created whimsical, colorful, and fun pieces. Daryl K took on a bolder, edgier approach to prints and color. Demi Park of Parkchoonmoo was very moved by Korea's beauty & worked it in the collection with flowing garments.


Betsey's show exuded excitement & energy with wild, flirty dresses. Inspired by Brigette Bardot and the Burlesque dancer of the 40s, Betsey tiptoes between innocent and sexy by taking flirty silk pieces and contrasting them against vibrant patterns with peek-a-boo surprises.


Siki Im introduces denim in 3 different silhouettes that come in self engineered hand dyed, produced & fabricated in the US. The washes of the jeans and print of the fabrics were inspired by the deteriorated environments affected by war in the Middle East. Some major roundup of trends include: sheer fabrics, Peter Pan collars, Asian inspired garments, bright colored shoes, and many more.
