NY Fashion Week SS 2011: Accessories Report - Part One

With so many reviews out in the blogosphere regarding NY Fashion Week S/S 2011, I figured I'd hone in on my favorite items....ACCESSORIES!

Days 1-4 consisted of many wonderful designers such as Cynthia Rowley, Vena Cava, Christian Siriano and Cushnie et Ochs. Each had accessories that stood out just as much - if not more - than the fashion, itself.

Here's what I considered as standout items:








Let's breakdown what was seen...

• Handbags in a variety of shapes, colors and textures (the collage of faces on the Z Spoke bag made my day);
• Sunglasses in classic shapes but with a twist (peep the double bar on the DVF frames);
• Nude shoes (something tells me the Christian Siriano for Payless line will sellout fast);
• Spikes on jewelry AND shoes (don't kick ANYONE when wearing those lovely platforms seen at Cushnie et Ochs);
• Chains and geometric shapes reigning supreme on the jewelry front (Vena Cava, I think I love you);

Did you notice any accessories trends for S/S 2011? I'm curious to see what London, Milan and Paris will introduce. As always, I'll keep you posted.
