That is just... beautiful. My breath caught when I saw it.

This is pants, which is nutty, of course. But the cape is a damn treat, and on a runway, YES. On Gwyneth Paltrow? PLEASE GOD. But, you know, it's a tough sell anywhere else (and even there).

This has the feel of a yarn collection being used to completion, but it's cool.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
Gorgeous. Yes, okay, it's not lined. Let's just issue a blanket Okay Everyone Let's Assume See-Through Stuff Will Get Fixed. Although honestly, you can't really see anything on the model, and the overall effect is so breathtaking. Someone could sell it as-is. Just not, say, Heidi Klum.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
I will take it.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
I'm sure that'll turn up at an Oscar Post-Party, or somesuch.

This seems a lot funkier and more geometric than he usually goes, but it also works for me.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
Naeem does shimmer like no other.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
This, too, takes a very specific body. I could see maybe... Nina Dobrev.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
This looked so dramatic in motion, but would be hard to wear in any real way.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
SO PRETTY.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
I'd trim off the giant shoulder flower, but that's just my instinct. What do I know. It's still dreamy as hell.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
This is awfully evocative of that Giambattista Valli powder-puff Rihanna wore to last year's Grammys. Although this does at least have a bit of a bodice to it.

This woman needs a ball. By which I mean, a full-on old-school evening of waltzing.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
This is a slam dunk. Right? If Kate Hudson weren't so hot for Versace, I'd suggest she clasp this to her bosom immediately.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
I wonder if the models at these shows ever heave a sigh of relief, like, "Ahhh, this is an easy job."
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
Well, THIS model had a bit of a tougher row to hoe.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
How many times can I say "Ahhhhh, pretty!!!" It gets boring for everyone.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
So, what about this "Eddie the Eagle" movie? Anyone plan to see it?
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
Also, I think "Cool Runnings" and Eddie the Eagle were the same Olympics. That's a lot of Unlikely Competitors stories for one event.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
We also need to discuss that after that Olympics, where he finished last and people felt like he might have exaggerated his story in order to gain acclaim, the Olympics toughened requirements to qualify. Apparently the ski-jumping community was SERIOUSLY DISPLEASED with Eddie.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
AND FURTHER, Eddie the Eagle recorded a Finnish pop song, despite not speaking Finnish. He has also carried the Olympic torch, which would seem at odds with how the ski-jumping community felt SHAMED O SO SHAMED.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
So what I'm saying is, I can't decide if I care. Then again, "Rudy" is one of the best sports movies ever, even though most of that is bullshit -- and I acknowledge that as a Notre Dame grad -- so maybe a totally fallacious film about Eddie the Eagle is still fine, as long as it's FUN and has a great score. Good luck outdoing the "Rudy" score, though, y'all. It can't be done by another sports movie.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
RUDY. RUDY. RUDY. Man, that score is good. Treat yourself to some Jerry Goldsmith later. It's surprisingly effective on a treadmill.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
What else can we talk about? I have to pack tonight for our flight back to L.A. Packing for a return flight is much easier because I don't care if my clothes look nice, but then again, somehow my haphazard packing jobs mean none of it fits as well as it did on the way here.

I also bought a terrible coat while I was here because it was subzero wind chill and a puffer coat was required. I firmly believe it. I LOVE cold weather, but my wool Banana Republic trench was not made for REAL winter.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
Then again, I never had a puffer coat in high school, when it was -34 and we still had to ride the bus. HOW DID WE SURVIVE.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
Also this is pretty (lining etc etc). Hooray! Also hooray: the end of awards season is nigh, and tomorrow I get to hug the beans.
Naeem Khan Fall 2016 at New York Fashion Week
This is what I need to wear after eight days eating my way through the local bagel shop during the day and restaurants at night. Oh, New York, you feed me so right.
