Sportswear ‘couture’ headlines at NY Fashion Week
According to reports, sportswear ‘couture’ has been the highlight at New York Fashion Week, which runs September 10-17.
Not only has Alexander Wang gone for a sporty merino look in collaboration with Australian Wool Innovation (see sportstextiles.com 15.09.09), designers such as Taiwan-born designer Jason Wu, Michelle Obama's chosen dress designer for President Barack Obama's official inauguration ceremony, and American fashion designer Derek Lam, have also given their collections a sporty edge using sweatshirts, shorts, romper suits and even sport-inspired dresses.
