New York Fashion Week Trend Spotlight: Rich Red & Meticulous Draping at Prabal Gurung Fall 14

  Simply stunning! The rich reds & meticulous draping from Prabal Gurung Fall 2014 are stellar standouts in our New York Fashion Week trend spotlight.  From what we've seen from the past two days, red is the accent color of the season so from #NYFW. What makes these Prabal Gurung pieces so exceptional (well, becuase they are!) is the combination of textures and draping that move the eye around the body so the color isn't so overpowering. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS And TREND SPOTLIGHTS I'm particularly loving the red pantsuit and can imagine the offhanded elegance of Cate Blanchett wearing it.

NYFW Trend Spotlight: Clean Camel + Vibrant Red at Helmut Lang Fall 14

  It's hard not to love the clarity of clean camel mixed with vibrant red, our trend spot from Helmut Lang Fall 2014. What makes this bold pairing work?
