New York Fashion Week :: Thakoon [The ZOO]

Thakoon :: Fall 2006

It was a pleasure to see Thakoon taking a risk this season. Usually the Thakoon girl is natural and seems to float down the runway, but this season she had an edge, complete with patent leather heels and crimson lips. She is still a romantic, but not in a floral dress sort of way. She is more of a poet, with an air of mystery to her. Think of Faye Dunway in Bonnie and Clyde, but tr?ɬ©s serious and French. Colors were classic navy, white, black, and grey. Huge sweaters were over tight black leggings, cropped dresses were beautifully crocheted, while Thakoons jackets were simply stunning. Pleated and draped they hung beautifully in all their shape and glory, without looking too much like a piece of abstract art. One can say Thakoon is slowly carving out his hiche and identity in fashion. Overall, a very ambitious collection that has me looking forward to next season. [Rania Abu Eid] more...
