Rich colors and patterns were all over the runway today at Dior’s Spring 2014 show during Paris Fashion Week, and despite the intense mismatching the collection was akin to a breath of fresh air. Black and white was paired well with bright hues and left each piece looking new and modern.... Read More
It's possible that I’ll get some backlash from the fashion community, but I’m going to say it anyway. I was not a fan of the Lanvin collection. His Spring 2014 show yesterday during Paris Fashion week was just too much. I could count the number of pieces that weren’t shiny, shimmering, or glittering from top to bottom, on one hand....

The first collection from Paco Rabanne’s new Creative Director Julien Dossena premiered today during Paris Fashion Week. Maybe it’s the thigh baring skirts or low slung belts, but there’s no way to look more fashion-forward than to look to the future for inspiration—literally.... Read More

The impeccable craftsmanship of Tesler + Mendelovitch’s handcrafted wood clutches is enough to make one wonder if the exquisite objects d’ arte are made to wear or to display on a pedestal.... Read More
True to the iconic more is more touch of Roberto Cavalli, this week’s Spring 2014 collection at Milan Fashion Week was a mix of lace, fringe, metallics and subtle patterning in a '20s Great Gatsby-esque mash-up; probably one of the most beautiful collections I’ve seen from the Italian designer....

The fashion at Moschino during Milan fashion week may not have been the greatest, but wow—it was quite the show. And opening with lip-syncing and dancing models who spin around on the runway is definitely one way to get noticed.... Read More

Versace’s Spring 2014 runway show during Milan Fashion Week today was an emotional roller-coaster. Falling in and out of love with the collection as each piece came down the runway was enough to leave us in a frenzy over which looks we we’re digging and which made us cringe.... Read More
It’s refreshing to see a truly beautiful collection during the chaos that is Fashion Week. With all the peacocking that goes on between designers, editors and even attendees it seems like everyone is always trying to outdo one another.... Read More
I think I know fashion pretty well. I can keep an open mind about artistic shows, conceptual pieces and the avant-garde, but Prada’s show during Milan Fashion Week left me completely baffled. There was great use of color and layers that will most likely be replicated on the streets of New York during the chilly early spring months, but can someone please explain the bra pieces worn over the clothes?...

Does it feel like we’re stalking Cara Delevingne yet? Probably, as we’ve been watching her walk runways in New York, London and now at Milan Fashion Week, but as the face of Fendi we knew she would open their Spring 2014 show.... Read More
I told myself not to write about Tom Ford’s runway show. He doesn’t need more coverage does he? We already know he’s great. But after seeing his new Spring collection during London Fashion Week, what started as an internal struggle became a full-fledged war.... Read More

Classic, clean and lady-like separates and outerwear were the main focus at Burberry Prorsum yesterday during London Fashion Week. The British fashion house is known for its outerwear, including jackets, coats and trenches, but in a pull away from the slim tailoring and hardware we’ve been seeing from the designer in the last few seasons, this collection shifts into lighter, delicate silhouettes....

Over the weekend Christopher Kane premiered his flower inspired Spring 2014 collection during London Fashion Week. Putting a scientific twist on one of the most common spring trends, his designs were nothing if not innovative, creating a whole new way to wear floral. Dresses and sweatshirts were emblazoned with the word FLOWER, while several pieces were imprinted with full botany diagrams.... Read More

Since Proenza Shouler has basically been ahead of the game this whole time (take a look back at their RTW Fall 2012 collection for the current black and white trend) it makes sense that they want to shake things up a bit. The collection shown today during New York Fashion Week showcased pieces almost entirely in metallic, black, nude and tan—a very different color palette than we’re used to seeing from the two designers....

Every now and then you see a collection you think you’ll love—the first few pieces come out, it’s great, a few more, it’s bright and youthful, a few more—and it looks like someone raided your grandmothers closet. The Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2014 collection that premiered this morning at New York Fashion Week, was that show.... Read More
I feel as if I should preface this by expressing my undying love for Marc Jacobs. In my eyes he can do no wrong. When I first became conscious of fashion he was THE man. His Marc by Marc Jacobs collection was everything I wanted in a wardrobe and more.... Read More
It should be obvious by now that this coming spring is going to be a wash of black and white with designer after designer showcasing monochromatic collections during New York Fashion Week. And while each label has its own artistic interpretation of how the new trend should play out in the coming seasons, none have mixed the two contrasting hues with any real color.... Read More
Cold minimalism was a favorite feature during Yigal Azrouël’s Spring 2014 show this weekend at New York Fashion Week. Models were sent out wearing a very industrial urban style and a New York attitude that rocked the runway. A muted color palette of spring favorites, black and white, felt new and chic with slouchy fabrics, harsh angles and feminine silhouettes.... Read More
Going into the fall and winter months means our outfits will be darker, colors will be bolder and there will be a lot more metal. Henri Bendel is covering all these bases with their No. 7 Quilt Zip Tote, part of first collection from Henri Bendel’s new Creative Director Pina Ferlisi, the bag is perfect blend of trends for the coming seasons....

There has to be a breaking point for all this black we’re seeing. Did Anna Wintour send out a quick tweet letting every designer know black was going to be the color of the season? If so, I don’t think Mara Hoffman got the message. Her Spring 2014 collection is so saturated with every color of the rainbow that it makes every other runway show seem cold and unfeeling in comparison.... Read More
You think you’ve seen everything during fashion week? There's been so much black and white you’re likely sick of it already, right? Then you probably haven’t seen threeASFOUR’s Spring 2014 collection, because nothing beats laser-cut, 3D dresses.... Read More
A very ambitious collection, Jill Stuart stayed true to her feminine roots while breaking out of what seems to be her safe zone and moving into something much more daring. While some shapes were similar to her Fall 2013 pieces, it’s a far cry from her previous spring collection of light colors and conservative lengths.... Read More
"In spring, we explore the conflict between hard and soft and the physical restraint binding them together." Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs told WWD, but who knew they would take it so literally. In true Cushnie et Ochs form their runway show left little to the imagination, referencing the look of cutouts from their Fall/Winter 2013 collection.... Read More
You know the feeling of déjà vu? You’ve seen it somewhere before, you lived this moment, had that conversation, watched this show...At first glance the Jason Wu runway show felt like a case of déjà vu—the 90s all wrapped up and stuffed into one of those large safari pockets hanging off the chest of his beautiful models.... Read More
I love pints. So it’s no surprise that BCBG Max Azria’s runway show yesterday easily became my favorite of the day. The slouchy relaxed form of the garments and the clashing florals made me wish the seasons ran from spring to summer and back again.... Read More
Metallic, plaid and lace, while usually not the stuff of fashion fairy tales, actually worked surprisingly well in Tadashi Shoji’s runway show today during New York Fashion Week. Not every gown was princess-worthy but for the most part it was beautifully soft and feminine; Shoji creates distinct tailoring, accenting a women’s figure like no one else could.... Read More
