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. It's a sleek update from the modern pantssuits that the Paris street style ladies were wearing last season. Styling Tip: When wearing head

In a word, classy! The timless elegance of gray paired with the slouchier silhouette make this textured sweater and pants a stellar New York Fashion Week trend spotlight from Jason Wu fall 2014.

Yup, we're getting the red accent memo loud and clear... that's clear & vivid RED. This time, it's grown up buffalo plaid by way of a chic 3/4 sleeve topper and THOSE fab red slouch boots at Rag & Bone Fall 2014. It's a safe bet that you will want red on your fashion roster come next fall, but why not add it now? It's a keeper. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS And TREND SPOTLIGHTS >>> CLICK: Rag & Bone in store now... [raw] rag & bone [/raw] Photo: designer via

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? The simplicity and elegance of the cut's disctinctive classic + modern vibe. Not a fussy element in sight, just the perfection of color and cut. I loved the volume of this pairing at Paris Fashion Week street style last season, and love the streamline of this even more.
