New York Fashion Week 2012: Part One

Marchesa 1

Utterly romantic and breathtaking as always. Marchesa gowns are my dream dresses for special events, like the Oscars (which are tonight!). I'm especially loving the juxtaposition of metallic structure against the soft and feminine tulle.

Rodarte has a more commercial appeal in their fall collection, with prairie-life inspirations. Really into the mix of colors, prints, and textures.

The warm Autumn-y colors in this collection scream FALL 2012. The unusual mix of lace with suede, metallic, silk, and shearling as well as the balance between masculine shoulder shapes with a feminine hem line is so appealing.

Dark romance topped off with lace and cut-outs. This collection reminds me of the typically sweet girl with a darker edge.

The first two all-white ensembles were jaw dropping– so ethereal and daring. I love the cutouts of the black A-line dress and the plunging neckline in the maroon dress. Every other dress is perfect for the red carpet.
Peter Som

Intrigued by the mixture of lace with metallic accents (particularly in the eye make-up) as well as the graphic printed shirt-pant ensemble.

If there was one collection that make me fall head over heels for metallics (and wildly undone hair), it would be this one. Gold lame and metallic tweeds have never looked better. 
Altuzarra 1

One of my favorite collections. I found the Tibetan and Moroccan inspiration, in the form of carpet prints, golden medallions, fringe, and fur, to be very fresh.
Derek Lam

Reminiscent of the polished girl in her bouffant hairdo, with a roughed up edge and touch of grunge.

Totally inspired by Lolita and fairy tale wonderlands. I love this collection– it's sweet innocence is so charming.
