Custo Barcelona Fall 2012 Runway Review

Custo Barcelona fw 12 Runway Review: Wild yet wearable, Custo sticks to its style roots and remains the collection to push your fashion boundaries The fall 2012 Custo Barcelona collection takes the brand's iconic textures, psychedelic colors and prints, and one of a kind designs to a new roughed up and tough level. At the same time it comes off as one of the most wearable, wild collections that I can recall. Lots of raw edges, pieced mixed fabrications that appear torn, zippers and moto styling, fringey boho pieces, and an endless supply of thick and slubby yarns. throw in some sequins and fur and you've got the exotic euro look down. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Custo Barcelona fw 12

Marc by Marc Jacobs F/W 2012 Marc by Marc's latest offering had a clean sensibility about it mixed with the hit master's signature plays on vintage standbys and references galore that made for a winning outing. Working as a clean slate of propositions that have a universal, foundational appeal that thankfully this time around didn't veer on the too young or trying too hard to be cool appeal, the collection's major statement could be considered to be that fuss-free, everyday fashion needn't be riddled with over designed elements -keep it simple, but never boring. >>More: Marc Jacobs Fashion Marc by Marc Jacobs F/W 2012 The complete women's collection: [nggallery id69] Shop Marc by Marc online now: More Marc by Marc

Runway Review: When you seek an unerring eye for the simplicity of perfect luxury, look no further than Naeem Khan. If there was a world greater and beyond than what a starlet wears on the red carpet, that glamourous world would belong to no other than Naeem Khan. Under the radar for the set that only know of designer names from what is uttered when a microphone is shoved up to answer the "who are you wearing" question yet savored by women who really do have a lifestyle that garners the wearing of timeless elegance. To truly savor the collections's beauty, you must see it up close and on the runway as photos cannot do it justice. MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Naeem

Prabal Gurung for ICB fall 2012 collection The Prabal Gurung for ICB collection was presented in a most unique way today through Digital Fashion Shows, a KCD Digital Production, online. Take a look. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS “For this ICB collection the inspiration came from the girl. I would say an inspiring combination of beauty, intelligence and a little sense of humor is what an ICB girl is all about. The continuous factor throughout the whole collection is that I didn’t want to compromise on the quality, I want someone to look at this collection and feel really great, with special pieces that are really affordable. It is affordable luxury. She has innate good taste and this is a stepping stone

Backstage Beauty Notes: Update your look with an easy to manage, natural looking ponytail for when you're on the go or looking for a cool alternative to stick straight hair that's full of texture and subtle volume. TRESemmé Stylist Jeanie Syfu created a wearable messy ponytail for the Tracy Reese Fall 2012 Fashion Show to mimic the effortless style of the clothing. Overall Look: Windblown bed-head messy ponytail with side-swept bangs, height at the crown and a matte finish Inspiration: The natural street look of the clothing inspired an effortless hairstyle Six easy steps to make the look work for you: Start by applying TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Root Boost Spray and TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse (use TRESemmé Flawless Curls Spray Gel for curly hair) throughout the hair

Moncler F/W 2012 Runway Review: From France's premiere label for deluxe winter-ready garb comes an exciting show on ice... Held on a balmy winter evening in Central Park's Wollman Rink with speed skating, synchronized skating, on-ice line dancing, and a children's choir, Moncler Grenoble's latest show worked as a glamorous ode to New York City while displaying the label's knack for making sporty ski-minded coats, pants and knits. Moncler F/W 2012 >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS And while there wasn't much new fashion wise as we all know by now that they make the best coats at premium dollar, the mood at the outing was festive to say the least while highlighting Moncler's prowess amidst its market. Moncler F/W 2012 -- Naveed Hussain

Reem Acra F/W 2012 Runway Review: Sportswear from Reem Acra? Highly unlikely from this red carpet go-to who seeks to inject high-octane glamor into every look... Never one to be dictated by trends or the ho-hum confines of 'reality' dressing, Reem Acra's latest outing saw the designer's deft hand at creating decadent party dresses rife with strength and sex appeal work its way into polished separates perfect for days when you need to look your best. Reem Acra F/W 2012 Using a strict palette comprising mostly of ebony and gold, the real news here was Acra's addition of figure defining, body-con shapes that had a pared down feel as many other designers in her arena continue to whip up frothy,

Rachel Roy fw12 Runway Review: Architecturally balanced pieces in grown-up and sophisticated colors worthy of a woman who achieved a certain sense of acclaim in her life, or just wants to look that way. When it comes to day wear, a presentation, rather than runway show, is best if the clothes are design worthy. It gives you the chance to take pause and savor the details, rather than the flash going by. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWSRachel Roy understands how to dress a woman in away that she wants to dress. In her Fall 2012 fashion week presentation for her collection named, "Modern Landscape," models lined Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln center flanked by the cityscape background. The collection, as the

Betsey Johnson F/W 2012 What a fun time you're bound to have at a Betsey Johnson show, and the fall 2012 show was no exception! Whether the clothes cater to your fashion aesthetic or not, the show itself is not one to be missed. On top of the pumping rock music and a colors-of-the-rainbow light show, you have massive scale bold prints, sequins, rhinestones, faux fur, tulle, bright saturated color, pink, pink, pink, and a heavy splash of cheetah. Sounds like a helluva party indeed! >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Betsey Johnson F/W 2012 Although the line as a whole was a bit overwhelming and not wearable for everyone admittedly it's pieces pulled separately though, could add a great punch to

Chris Benz F/W 2012 Runway Review: From New York's unparalleled color fanatic Chris Benz comes a collection fit for a dolly girl with a little Eliza Doolittle thrown in for extra character. Chris Benz' latest outing sees the designer forgoing his dialogue with 70's Americana done up in a myriad of bold hues and vivid prints for something a little more retro, slightly disheveled and wickedly off-kilter for a collection that's certainly not to be confused with any other American designer. Sure, there were vague hints of early Marc Jacobs seen here & there when inspecting proportions, say the shrunken princess coats for one, but as usual, Benz is a designer that doesn't take himself or fashion too seriously and

Yigal Azrouel F/W 2012 Runway Review: From a man who rose to fame designing body-con dresses for the party girl set comes an outing full of right-on, more subtle fashion perfect for the times. Over the past few season's Yigal Azrouel has made a name for himself by loosely interpreting Europe's top trends in a way that speaks to New York Fashion Week's more reality-minded, sportswear oriented DNA and has continued to make them his own by steering clear of being too trend driven. Citing Françoise Hardy as a starting point, he worked his muse's attitude to give today's sartorial cues a compelling depth that made his latest effort stand on its own while dishing up the kind of goods that

Tracy Reese fw 12 Runway Review: Tracy Reese gives us a colorful fall 2012 collection that balances strength with femininity with her use of punchy colors, large tropical prints, sturdy fabrics paired with draped silk, and silhouettes that accentuate the female shape. It's refreshing to see a fall collection that isn't dark and dreary, instead the saturated oranges, purples, aquas and yellows put a sunny spin on the cold months of the season. This line had some of the most wearable, flattering peplum shapes I have seen yet, because they are small and pieced in, more subdued so as to not appear like you have an extra 7lbs on your hips. The cropped peplum blazer and long, slim coats with a seam

It takes a degree of styling finesse to look effortlessly undone and chic rather than unkempt.
