This dress by Phillip Lim felt like what a warrior princess might wear; the almost armor-like bodice, the sweet, soft skirt.

There was a really strong industrial presence in the show … like Mad Max, your time has come. I’ve been into the return of the mesh shirt, you?

Another way into the industrial look, via Barneys New York and their downtown store, is take it loose and easy with soft dove grays and really simple but strong pieces.

Love the drape-front jacket by Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair

Definitely a strong Barneys statement: Leather, knits, and drop-crotch legs. For men? Yes, for men.

On the other hand, ain’t nothing wrong with clean and classic.

Love the Alexander McQueen baggy linen pants, and the whole white-on-white (cream-on-beige) look.

It does seem as though you’ll never make it through the season without a pair of those lace-up/fold-down open-toe bootie heels; just so you know, Alexander Wang has a flat pair.

The safari look is also pretty key at Barneys this season.

It goes right in hand with the tribal thing, and all those amazing Dries Van Noten prints.

A great way for guys to get in on the tribe vibe.

There are some things about last week’s FACE fashion show that we can’t show you in pictures or tell you about in words. You just had to be there to experience, for instance, the fashion and style community coming together to benefit school children on the other side of the planet. We did share, as best as is possible, the feeling of a couple hundred well-dressed Seattleites mixing it up on a (finally) sunny spring evening in Face Faces Part I, and here we give you highlights from Le 21eme Arrondissement blogger Adam Sinding’s view of the runway. The next best thing to having been there yourself.

I’m always psyched when Sinding can accompany me to a party; he’s about as serious as a person can be about photographing real life style and documenting modern fashion in its natural environment. But you knew that because you regularly read his blog. So on with the show. (Slideshow that is.)
