Jillian Lewis Opens Fashion Week

J Lewis AW09 5.jpgSo it’s officially here.

The first show of the week was, as expected, a presentation. Project Runway runner-up Jillian Lewis showed her Fall 09 collection on the windiest street in Chelsea this afternoon.

“I live in Long Island City,” she said. “The collection’s totally based off of the graffiti building, do you know it?”

I live in Greenpoint - the graffiti building’s the prettiest thing around.

“They’re supposed to be really urban, kind of grungy,” she said of the clothes. Urban maybe, but there was nothing grungy about the long, detailed floral dress I fell in love with, or the chunky, perfectly fitted sweater dress that I want to wear tomorrow but can’t have for months.

Meanwhile, Jillian has to be the first PR alum with Vogue at her show, right?

I saw her yesterday at showroom7. she looked super cute. she was wearing bright red lips her hair was in her signature curls tied with a super loose black satin ribbon ponytail. It looked a little bit victorian. I always loved her style and her designs.yay for gillian!!!

The show was fantastic and Jillian was great. She works so hard with no "drama".
I sold her parents her first Brother sewing machine and she was pretty, polite and focused then and has not changed a bit..Bravo!

I'm sorry I don't like this. I'm not hating, my true opinion is that I find this quite ugly. Nothing really works and as a collection it doesn't fit together. The maroon sweater dress is all I can say I love, and maybe those tights. At least they present something new. As for the blue sweater dress. It's do-able but u can find a million at H&M and they've been doing them for years. I have one in grey! Lol.

I've never heard of this chick, as PR is not big in England. She's probably really nice so better luck next time.

It's pretty bad. Looks cheap. The only good part are those tights.

Compared to her work on PR this is a down grade. The collection doesnt fit together and those graffiti inspired jackets look cheesy and cheap. The sweater dresses are cute, but unoriginal like #10 wrote H&M has been putting these out for years. I am really dissapointed.

Hopefully, things will be better next season.
