CITYist

Bold, graphic prints have made their mark on the runways this spring. The trend appeared in simplistic, crisp lines as well as eye-catching sharp shapes such as circles, squares, and triangles. Click to see how this trend is shaping up.

We’ve already told you of a few of our Fashion’s Night Out destinations (here, here and here), but we couldn’t resist throwing in a few more. Cause after all, you can’t just hit up one party. Whether you’re in the mood to shop, and snag limited edition goods you can’t grab anywhere else, or just hang out at a good-old fashioned party, there’s something for everyone throughout the whole city. Check out some places we’re looking to swing by tonight.

For the girl who can’t get enough of Kate and Laura Mulleavy’s crafty inventions for Rodarte, you no longer have to settle for only wearing the fabric on your body. With Rodarte’s collaboration with Knoll Luxe, the brand’s dreamlike fabrics can now adorn the home with five upholstery and three drapery textiles. Named after the designers’ favorite poets (E.E. cummings, John Keats, W. H. Auden and Dorothy Parker), the fabrics are alternately textured or sheer, neutral or water-colored.

The Oscars of fashion, the Met’s Costume Institute Gala, has finally arrived and with it, surprisingly, countless gowns designed for Gap. Said designers included CITY favorite Thakoon (who outfitted Kerry Washington), Rodarte (Kirsten Dunst, model Jamie Bochert), Alexander Wang (M.I.A. and Zoe Kravitz) and Sophie Theallet ( Jessica Alba and Vera Farmiga). Alexa Chung showed up in a tuxedo on the arm of Phillip Lim. Also in attendance was former CITY cover girl Riley Keough, wearing Thakoon’s romantic “conceptual frill” gown. See a fashion roundup after the jump.
