The lingerie presentation was the perfect way to close out Glamorama 2010. The show began with female demons dancing around in dominatrix-inspired outfits, only to close with angelic male models wearing wings. Who doesn’t love a little skin! Watching gorgeous models prance around in negligee is a great way to ensure patrons return for Glamorama 2011. The Heaven/Hell dichotomy was a bit uninspired, but I thought it was an excellent way to poke fun at America’s love/hate relationship towards sexuality.

The decision was unanimous in my family: Issey Miyake gave the best presentation of the evening. I was most excited about seeing this show, as I am truly just a nerd at heart. When I heard that Dai Fujiwara was inspired by mathematical models of the universe I knew I was in for a treat. The backdrop played a video of a computer generated flight through galaxies and the universe. Electronic music provided a critical audio component to the immersive experience, and the combined effect was extraordinary. It was as though the pieces themselves fell out of a wormhole, twisted and knotted around each other in impossible combinations. Several looks were completely wearable as well – an admirable effort by Macy’s style team, considering how avant garde the New York runway show was.

Following in the footsteps of the path cleared by Sportmax and Philosophy, Marc Jacobs continued Fall/Winter 2010’s depressed vibe. The music was haunting, a string quartet piece that reminded me (and several others) of the Schindler’s List soundtrack. The palette consisted of grays, blacks, and browns, with a few pops of a muted color here and there. The pale lavender dress was as exciting as this presentation became, and was an apt metaphor for the show itself. Soft and safe, like a tea party with friends at Grandma’s house, this collection was both eminently wearable and daringly conservative.
