Despite the fact that Victoria Bartlett consistently sends interesting, futuristically fashionable clothing down her runway, most are quick to admit that she never strays far from her signature athletic aesthetic. The look must strike a chord among those in-the-know, though, because a number of editorial heavyweights were in attendance at yesterday’s show. From Vogue‘s Tonne Goodman and Lisa Love to Elle‘s Anne Slowey to Glamour’s Anne Christensen, tons of masthead-toppers turned out to support the British designer.

There were a large number of pieces in bright kelly green, from a short-sleeved neoprene jacket to a bra-and-brief duo layered beneath a sheer, webby black knit. In terms of prints, the designer played with an abstract “cartography” pattern which, at least to me, looked more like scenic horizon prints than actual maps–though they were certainly pretty.

Thanks to yesterday’s construction-related traffic gridlock (seriously, New York? You chose NYFW weekend to rebuild half of Broadway?), I unfortunately missed out on Lyn Devon’s presentation at the W hotel in Times Square. It was a shame, too, because her “urban picnic”-inspired lineup contained exactly the sort of looks I’d love to own come next spring.

From a basket-textured day dress in cerulean (one of the designer’s favorite hues, judging by her past collections) to the duo of classic polka-dot frocks, there was nary an unnecessary frill to be found.
