December 30th, 2009 2 comments

Senior Vice-President and Fashion Director of Neiman Marcus, Ken Downing talks Spring 2010 Trends to New York’s Fashion Director Harriet Mays Powell.

Check out the video:


Ken’s top themes from the runways:

Modern Styling at Michael Kors

Elegance Oscar Dela Renta

Tribal at Diane Von Furstenberg

Sporty Chic at Proenza Schouler

Frothy romance at Marc Jacobs

Bike shorts with bling at Prada

I am loving the colors and nudes for spring… A contrast I know.. But the bright colors of Proenza Schouler and DVF excite me as well as the soft calming nudes of Marc Jacobs and Donna Karen.

What’s your pick for Spring 2010?

Sneak Peak: V Magazine 63

“One Size Fits All”

Photographed by Terry Richardson from V Magazine (issue #63): “The Size Issue,” featuring top plus-size model and author of “Hungry” Crystal Renn alongside newcomer—and more traditional model body-type—Jacquelyn Jablonski.

V Magazine One Size Fits

Appropriately titled “One Size Fits All,” Richardson’s photo spread showcases Renn and Jablonski side-by-side in identical looks, matching sample size outfits and similar poses. Still, the effect is a powerful one that proves fashion can flatter any figure. Most recently Renn—who has walked the runway for Jean-Paul Gaultier and graced the cover of American Vogue—famously penned her own weight and body image struggles within the model industry in a memoir entitled “Hungry: A Young Model’s Story of Appetite, Ambition and the Ultimate Embrace of Curves,” which was released this fall. -VMagazine

If it’s bright enough, tight enough or eye-poppingly printed enough, odds are it’ll work on any figure. Crystal Renn, model and author of Hungry, and Jacquelyn Jablonski, spring’s new star, show off the season’s most sizzling looks. -vMagazine

Crystal Renn: 5 ft, 9 in; 36/31/41

I think the ladies look amazing!!

The fact the Crystal is considered a “Plus Size” model; and clearly based on her photos and measurements is a size 6, is a bit disheartening. The fact that real “plus size” women tend to be obese, looking at Crystal and tagging her as plus size must be truly heart breaking for those women.

V63 does not hit newsstands until January 14, 2010.
