Fauvist painter Kees Van Dongen was the inspiration for Vera Wang's Fall 2008, which, with one day left in fashion week, is certainly one of the standout collections. The eroticism of van Dongen played well when juxtaposed against the "street" style that has been echoing through many of this season's top collections. I couldn't help thinking of snapshots taken by The Sartorialist - fashionable men and women wearing imaginative ensembles that are mix-and-match and never one-note.
Some, like New York Magazine's Amy Odell found this collection to be heavy-handed, but for me, it was a clear winner.
