AMERICAN GOTHIC


Unlike the the hectic, loud and runway type shows that normally absorb New York Fashion week, designer John Patrick presented his ORGANIC spring/summer 2009 line is much clammer waters.   The "American Gothic" show that was staged before noon with models presented in a diorama-like setting to reframe the timeless Grant Wood painting.   With optimism, hope and sustainability being important issues to the designer, he presented an organic collection of an all American look ( mini-skirts, blazers, high-waisted shorts, seersucker, button-ups) for men and women.
