I'm a big fan of fashion student work, and it's no secret that one of the biggest student events during Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week is the graduate show from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. For F/W '10, six talented graduates showed innovative womenswear collections. Marina Solomatnikova opened the show with biege and grey suede looks inspired by Georgia O'Keefe paintings. Bethany Meuleners showed knit dresses and bodysuits in dark colors, such as navy and maroon, using asymmetrical silhouettes to interesting effect. Pale prairie-inspired dresses by Naomi Sutton using a mix of cotton, organza, wool and jersey had a quirky romantic vibe. My three favorite designers closed the show. Hyo Sun (Nicky) An (whose work is pictured above) was inspired by mathematic shapes, and I couldn't take my eyes off the looped fringes in her pale beige pieces. Steven Oo commanded attention on the runway with his softly cocooned, yet structured pieces. Sabah Mansoor Husain closed the show with felt and knit coats which had a subtle shimmer from jewel-shaped crystals. Bravo, graduates!
