Asher Levine | Fall Winter 2012

ASHER LEVINE transformed the Jefferson Market Library and drew audiences into his world for his Fall/Winter 2012 collection presentation. The collection continues to build on established motifs and iconography, developing a language for which to communicate the world he envisions. Makerbot’s newest 3D Printer, The Replicator, live-printed the sunglasses the models were wearing.

Asher's Designs and Creativity With every Season combines pure fantasy with the raw edginess of New York’s streets.It is rare to find a designer who cannot only create beautiful clothing but is also a true showman, where the runways become about far more than the clothing presented. Every Show Asher Levine creates speaks a different story about fashion,His Presentation was so unique and full of inovation !! We really Loved his use of live-printed sunglasses by Makerbot’s 3D Printer. He is a true visionary.

New York Fashion Week | Zac Posen SS 2012

“Paris gave me perspective on who I could be as a designer here in America,” said Zac Posen, who brought his show to Lincoln Center after two seasons on the Paris schedule. “You know, instead of searching, just coming back to myself. That’s what it taught me.”

Posen deserves credit for going to Paris in the first place, putting himself and his work in a foreign and highly competitive environment, more than 3,000 miles from his Tribeca studio. He dreamt big and though it didn’t work out as he had hoped, if it gave him the confidence and encouragement to trust his talents and not try so hard to force a sharp, over-the-top opulence even when it feels out of step with the bigger fashion message, then it was worth the trip.

His spring collection was still extremely glamorous, mind you, but it felt stronger, more coherent for its relative simplicity. A blue-and-lavender short-sleeve dress with a fluttering skirt was beautifully restrained, as was a diaphanous off-the-shoulder ice-blue cocktail frock—both free of the kind of outrageous add-ons or unnecessary flourishes Posen can sometimes fall prey to.

The collection was absent of the more casual daywear Posen played with in seasons past, which let him focus on evening. A glittering midnight-blue look with a crisscross bodice and ball skirt was refreshingly reminiscent of Posen’s talent for flattering the female form; a celadon version with a short skirt laser-cut like a flip book of chiffon was less figure-friendly.

From another designer, the continuous parade of cascading tulle trains and Dovima-esque shapes would have felt one-note. But it was a good move for Posen. Sometimes in order to move forward you have to go back to the beginning.

New York Fashion Week | Asher Levine SS 2012

Asher Levine Provides Future Through His Creations, Established as a ready-to-wear designer Asher is now breaking Through with his Asher Levine Line .Past projects have ranged from an exclusive collection for Nicola Formichetti's  Pop-Up Shop in NYC to his strong celebrity client  with the likes of: Lady GaGa, The Black Eyed Peas, and Bruno Mars, Asher Levine has captured the cutting edge spirit of New York Streets and club style , He grown to be an international label with clients across the globe.

It is rare to find a designer who cannot only create beautiful clothing but is also a true showman, where the runways become about far more than the clothing presented. Asher Levine does exactly that.His Show today was full of futuristics & Strong Use of Neoprene, Showing at New York Fashion Week , he combines pure fantasy with the raw edginess of New York’s streets.


 Asher Levine debuted his Spring/Summer 2012 runway show to a capacity audience at the BoConcept showroom (105 Madison Ave. New York, NY) on Saturday, September 10, 2011. The fourth collection, Stage.118, celebrates the designer’s continued maturity as he conceptualizes a world from which to draw inspiration. The theme of the collection builds on past motifs and established iconography and retains Levine’s affliction with exploring a biological thriller.

The collection, much like the designer, has become more refined and edges closer to a tailored subversive subtlety. Levine maintains his fascination with challenging and expanding established understanding of fashion beyond practicality to a conceptual expression of culture, politics, and identity. The clothes at one stage are utilitarian and sporty, but evolve to become spine-y, timorous creatures with sculpted wear and accessories by Tyson Talbert.
