Rebecca Minkoff Fall 2013 Rebecca Minkoff Fall 2013 Runway Review: Rebecca Minkoff makes upcoming Fall 2013 a funky, colorful, well-structured collection for the urban woman as shown at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York.

Above the white ice-plateaus reaching to the

Nicole Miller Fall 2013 Nicole Miller Fall 2013 Runway Review: Nicole Miller gives a dark, vintage and menswear driven presentation for Fall 2013 at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week that ceratinly puts one in the spirit for those cold, wintery months ahead. The line was black on black on black with some hits of color and cozy grandma-inspired prints which added a sweet nostalgia to the hard edged collection. It seems we will keep dressing like the boys in blazers, crisp pants, and pencil skirts, but these versions come with some subtle colorblocking and fabric mixing - elements that reign supreme for Fall 13. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Nicole Miller Fall 2013 >>MORE: Nicole Miller Nicole Miller Fall 2013 The vintage upholstry-like prints add the needed feminine touch to the very
