There's plenty of exciting talent happening in New York, but the state of things has handicapped them.
There has been much ink spilled and many hands collectively wrung over the state of New York Fashion Week. What happened? Is there even a point to it all? Should it be canceled?
Wedged between two New York heavyweights — Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs — Alejandra Alonso Rojas presented her latest vision on the runway on Wednesday. Her clothes are better suited to be appreciated from up close than they are on the standard catwalk, but her eye for color and her carefully-considered approach to fabrics could easily set her up to become an American luxury brand on the level of The Row.

This is why we don't have stars.
Other talents like Wes Gordon or duo Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia of Monse, have been fortunate to land jobs at established American fashion houses — Gordon at Carolina Herrera, Kim and Garcia at Oscar de la Renta — which have enabled them to pursue loftier design aspirations and given them a bigger platform.
