Walking into Corpus’s presentation at the Bowery Hotel kind of felt like walking into one of the coolest nightclubs in New York: the booze was flowing, the models roamed free, and the clothes were exactly the kind of girly-meets-tough-chick look we usually lust over in these situations.

The models donned some very pretty dark floral dresses and blouses that were toughened up with thick knits, thigh highs and that “whatever” stance that makes the model-off-duty look work. The boys rocked slightly grunge, slightly rockabilly looks, while sipping drinks and mingling.

While the looks were feminine, Corpus’s roots in menswear shows through in the tailoring of the pants and jackets. The dark plaid suit we’re kind of obsessed with was seen on both male and female models which means that if you’re into the whole matchy-matchy thing you can pick up one for you and for your boyfriend.

We always love it when models are allowed to mix in with the party at a presentation and it was particularly fitting at Corpus. We even saw a few models timidly flirting with one another while guests stared at their clothes - so it was pretty much exactly like one of the coolest nightclubs in New York but with an actual reason to stare.

Walking to the Generra presentation at an event space on 26th street yesterday, we couldn’t help thinking that it felt more like Autumn than February. Of course, this only made us want all the warm, woolly, Fall pieces at Generra even more.

The clothes were exactly what you’d want to be wearing on a blustery October night - tons of layers, warm knits and comfy shapes. The palette was mostly gray, with pops of burgundy and some dark plaid and neutral khaki thrown into the mix. All the models had on thick woolly socks, some layered over gray tights, others peeping out just below a hemmed pant leg. We know how that must sound, but it kind of made us want to pair our old Grandpa socks with our best heels.

Albeit there was nothing so shockingly new at the presentation; we’ve kept the dark plaids and the overall grunge feeling of yesteryear, and yet it was oddly enjoyable to walk out feeling like we would wear each piece now if we had the chance. Now if only we could get our hair to wave like that when it actually is blustering.
