NY Fashion Week: Josie Natori Fall 2011

Josie Natori presented her Eastern chic on the East Side with a tea ceremony presentation.  The sportswear was an extension of her loungewear with easy, flowing silhouettes.  She had some signature kimono-inspired looks with an emphasis on the fabric textures.

The color palette included basics of cream and black.  A deep red, taupe and chartreuse were blended in.  The brushstroke calligraphy motif was a theme that ran through from the invitation to the mannequins to the fabric prints.  Simple bugle bead embroidery embellished some of the dressier pieces of the collection.
