Grecian and architectural influence fueled the inspiration for this season at Erin Fetherston, who presented her spirited presentation of models adorned in gold Greek style jewelry and neatly braided undoes at Milk Studios for fall 2011 Fashion Week New York. selection brigitte segura, written by  erica reed.

Erin Autumn Winter 2011 on FDM

Blush and ivory enhanced delicate chiffon pleated dresses and paisley prints were accented by black and gold, and skinny pants introduced baby sequined cropped jackets and vest blouses. There was a well-balanced mix between easy youthful dresses and chic tailored separates, keeping the ERIN feminine touch in check. Backstage, Erin commented how she ‘enjoyed balancing both draped and tailored design directions into one cohesive look’… pointing out the Portia jacket with chiffon sleeves paired with black stretch faille skinny pants as the strongest representations of her efforts to fuse draping with tailoring techniques, with cocoon shapes in details prevalent this season and an expanded use of silk crepe draping at the sleeves, keeping the silhouettes slim with a little extra girly drape.
