NEW YORK – The Associated Press is all over New York Fashion Week, from its runway fashions to celebrity-packed events. Here’s what some AP writers are seeing:

JEREMY SCOTT TAKES US BACK TO THE NURSERY

It’s too bad that Kanye West didn’t bring young daughter North when he checked out Jeremy Scott’s fashion show on Wednesday. The nursery motif — dolls, hippos, little lambs, teddy bears — would have made the toddler feel right at home.

Scott’s shows are never less than whimsical and entertaining, and this one held true to form. Models sauntered down the runway in babydoll mini-dresses and tights in pastel colours like baby blue and yellow and bright pink. They wore sweet baby bonnets or long stocking caps.

Their hair was covered with paint splotches. A few dresses were actually made of canvas and then painted on.

Truth is, this was pretty demure for Scott, who’s been known in previous collections to have a man covered entirely in fur like Chewbacca, or little gold machine-guns hanging from a bustier.

Pretty demure, and demurely pretty.

“I was really inspired by the idea of dolls,” Scott said in a backstage interview, “and how when you loved them so much you cut their hair and you painted on them.”

“So I wanted to kind of capture that loved toy, the loved doll kind of feeling. There’s lots of prints — definitely inspired by nursery rhymes like ‘Humpty Dumpty’ or ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb.’”

Scott doesn’t waste too much time thinking about how people will be evaluating his clothes.

“I just want people to have a good time,” he said. “It’s cold outside but warm in here.”
