Sometimes first impressions are the right ones, sometimes not. Here’s what we thought when we saw…

Victoria Beckham
Look who’s making a grab for Wang’s sporty-street crown.
Really liking the sculptural short skirts.
Finally a celebrity line that doesn’t suck.

Delpozo
Nothing like Spanish couture to spice up NYFW.
This is crazy fantasy stuff, the perfect antidote to boring minimalism.

Creatures of Comfort
Nubs and dots and straws hats, oh my!
Something different and quirky — we like.
Thank you, Japan, for your pragmatic influence on fashion.

Derek Lam
Big plaid pieces are cute, especially with slightly mismatched colors.
Much less sure about the raffia trims.
