Fashion Diaries - Olympus Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2008
Monet Cole, Fashion Editor

My first reaction to the runway collections this season were 'ho-hum BORING'! It was hard to get excited about most of the showings. Pastels and neutrals galore, classic conservatism... just 'plain jane' fashion.

Once I got over the initial disappointment, it struck me that this was actually a good thing. The runways were showing clothes that were practical yet stylish AND flattering to most figures. Was I dreaming?? Did this mean that somewhere along the line, designers decided to create fashion for the everyday-ness of real life? What a treat!

So, it's with the eye of a Personal Shopper/Wardrobe Consultant/Mother/Wife/.... (I think you get the picture), that I present some of my favorites from the catwalks of New York:
