NY Fashion Week: L.A.M.B. Spring 2011 by Gwen Stefani

Hey Baby, hey baby hey!  Gwen Stefani's Spring 2011 was a cheerful collection of African prints, breezy island silhouettes and animal patterns. Ruffles were a regular detail, as were asymmetrical shoulders. There were menswear-inspired jackets and pants in contrast to the lighter sun dresses.

This was one of the few shows that really felt like a party/night out.  It definitely had my favorite music selections of NY Fashion Week...Depeche Mode, Marilyn Manson, No Doubt.

The accessories include a range of fedora styled hats.  Noir Jewelry (another of my favorites) was tasked with creating ethnic-inspired pieces for the show.  A tribal necklace and over-sized cuffs were seen.  The L.A.M.B. handbags were roomy, big purses with animal prints.
