DVF






The collection was named "American Legends" and it sure showed! The designer emmulated the likes of Gloria Vanderbilt, and Diana Vreeland. The collection was filled with crazy colorful prints in truly DVF style, wide hats, fringe, silk button down and pops of the patriotic colors of blue and red.
Furstenburg has ruled the fashion world for a while and she is always able to create an amazing, show-stopper, wearable, unique collection.

Glamour oozing glamour upon more glamour! The words chic and glamour have become somewhat of a catch phrase for the brand, and this season they showed us why! The collection was simply fabulous, ready for powerful chic women everywhere.
The catwalk was decorated with ostrich feathers, sequins, beads and confidence. The label even engineered prints used on the catwalk in house. That gamble sure did pay of the second the all-over print gowns came down the runway. The collection is sure to be seen at award shows and many a red carpet very soon!

Rodarte Amazement





Honestly I don't know how they keep doing this. Kate and Laura Mulleavy are simply design geniuses! There is no stopping these ladies! The textures were amazing, the masculine light touches were exquisite and the color palette although tight was beautiful!

Monique Lhuillier







Monique Lhuillier's collection screamed one thing to me: WEARABLE. This collection is every professional girls dream! Especially those NYC ladies! The collection was somewhat dark and Monique seemed to favor her new color of the season, Black. 22 of the looks were actually in black! Great news for you, as no one looks bad in black!
Lhuillier did not just hide behind the use of black but she used this as an opportunity to play with texture. There was a lot of lace, wool crepe, and embroidery.
As if that was not enough, the gown are absolute STUNNERS! This collection will be a favorite for starlets everywhere! Stores will have a hard time keeping this on the shelves!

Wu Wu Wu








Inspired by Robert Polidori's book on the restoration of Versailles. There was definitely something royal about this collection. Jason Wu reminds us all why he is a force to be reckoned with and proves why he has quickly risen to be the star of the fashion world. He achieved his usual aesthetic of the polished feminine look. He placed a great emphasis on tailoring, continuing on from last season.

The collection seemed to be split into menswear inspired daylooks to uber feminine eveningwear. The lace was everywhere, it appeared on coats, tops, dresses, it was definitely the main focus of the collection. Wu's embroidery was also impressive, little flower motifs portraying the royalty of the collection.

Wu hit this one out of the park to say the least. The collection screams, class, elegance and feminine. All professional woman rejoice! There is no denying this collection is a hit, worthy of a first lady!

The designer stuck within her comfort zone this season. Chung is best know for draping and that is exactly what she delivered for Fall. The color palette was limited to those colors we all associate with fall; black, gray, white and navy.

The desiner created some interesting exaggerated shapes, although lost me a little with the use of capes. Overall, the designers use of different textures was exquisite. There was sleek leather, suggestions of fur, mohair lace and knitwear. Her day wear looked cozy yet polished. However, the designer really did "wow" me with the evening-wear pieces. The gowns exuded sex appeal but with class. There was sexy cut outs, draping, fret detailing. We will no doubt be seeing these pieces on red carpets and various fabulous parties.
