2011 Fall/Winter
United Bamboo
Fashion week spectators have been dragged to some unprepossessing locations, but the blighted block where United Bamboo staged its show today might take the cake. Over there, an entrance ramp to the Lincoln Tunnel. Over here, the ass-end of a truck depot. Other than that, nothing except biting wind off the river. This, you couldn't help thinking, must be where hope goes to die.Upstairs, safe from the chill, Miho Aoki and Thuy Pham debuted a generally excellent Fall '11 collection. The inspiration was menswear, a theme developed through tailoring, plaids, and lots of wool suiting fabrics, and grappling with mannishness seems to have freed Pham and Aoki to work a little looser while still hewing to detail. Case in point: an absolutely must-have navy peacoat, cut square and inset with muscular panels of dun shearling.
