If you missed a few shows last week on the runway or on line, or if you just want to check out which styles will be inspiring your wardrobe for Spring 2010, then head on over to Valet and check out their Fashion Week Spectrum from New York. Valet describes it as, a visual survey of the style landscape from a dozen New York menswear designers. What you’ll able to do is browse through more than 150 runway photos from the top brands and designers in a very comprehensive and easy to use exploratory board. What’s even better is that the photos are aligned by pieces such as tops and bottoms and are pieced together in a straightforward visual montage. Use the board to hunt down micro trends, visual inspirations, or targeting your latest purchase from some of your favorite brands.
