There was still a very much Marc Jacobs influence present in his collection, but customized for Chai's own personal style and embodied with his signature twist. The show began with very heavy, oversized grey and brown coats and jackets, layered over long, floor-grazing full skirts, with gorgeous flow and movement. These looks seamlessly eased into the dresses and more long skirts, with asymmetrical ruffled trims, and more volume. The surprise was the full large, sequin top which emerged with great presence. The gold sequins, although mostly large, were paired with smaller ones in silver, black and bronze. Handsdown my favorite look, seen not so clearly below (I got overexcited and shook the camera). The dark browns and greys were broken up by more chocolates and creams as well as hints of dark, pansy purples. Overall the ease and effortless chic to expect from a Richard Chai Women's collection for the Fall.

NYFW: Richard Chai Womens FW'11
Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week is in full swing! Luckily I was able to attend opening day yesterday to see the Richard Chai Women's Collection. The show, scheduled for 11:00am, began around 11:40am. It was actually quite a small venue compared to the size of some of the other tents at Lincoln Center, but nonetheless it did not take away from Richard Chai's Fall collection.
