Nicole Miller Fall 2013 Runway Review and Fashion Show Trends

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

Best Outerwear- Fashion Week Street Style & Runway, Day One Get the look, wear it now: Outerwear runway and street style trend report from the sidewalks of New York Fashion Week and the catwalk of Edun and BCBG Baby it's cold outside! It's freezing February during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York and we are previewing Fall 2013; as you can imagine outerwear is everywhere from the runway to the street. When it comes to coats and jackets, lots of menswear inspired pieces, an overkill of fur, (no pun intended), colorblocking, motorcycle jackets, and oversize fits don't seem to be going out of style anytime soon! -- Alix Kivlin >> MORE: RUNWAY & STREET STYLE TRENDS and FASHION SHOWS, RUNWAY REVIEWS Photo gallery after the jump… >> SHOP

BCBGMaxAzria Fall 2013 BCBGMaxAzria Fall 2013 Runway Review: A hard rock gypsy walked the runway of the BCBGMaxAzria Fall 2013 show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York. I have a strong feeling the boho gypsy vibe will carry a large presence for Fall 2013, and BCBG keeps a tough edge to the overall look with quilted leather, colorblocked fur, and sexy leather boot/leggings. The softness of our gypsy girl is seen in delicate laser cut-outs and off-whites with large scale embroideries. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS The deep colors true to autumn carry the line, that ox blood red continues to be strong, and here we see a lot of creamy whites - could this be the new black?! Probably not...but

Giorgio Armani Menswear Fall 2013 In their words… Giorgio Armani Menswear Fall 2013 : A strong and precise image. No flirtatious provocations that often amount to little more than sly trickery. Clean and essential styling portrays a virile man, defined by broad silhouetted outerwear, and trousers with a clean cut. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Surfaces are opaque and warm, and underline the precious nature of the collection. Research into craftsmanship is key and is evident in the fabric treatments and tailoring of the pieces. It is this quality of craftsmanship that brings together the contrasting aesthetics of sportswear and classic menswear. Thus, neoprene envelops precious materials such as velvet and suede - a contemporary combination that makes one re-think definitions of

Emporio Armani Menswear Fall 2013 In their words… URBAN TECH IMPRESSIONS Emporio Armani Menswear Fall 2013 :A new era. New attitudes and perspectives mark a different way of dressing. Naturally classic, pure Armani, with a severe allure that is highly contemporary. A collection with a strong metropolitan ethos, accentuated by innovative silhouettes and materials that create surprising effects and convey a tangible sense of energy and an impression of privilege and wealth. The Emporio Armani man selects iconic styles from the male wardrobe – overcoat, caban, jacket, turtleneck and tuxedo jacket – but these are re-visited in high-tech materials. The focus is on each single piece in turn, as if it was under a spotlight. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS SHAPES A

Nude nail polish, right from the Spring 2013 New York Fashion Week runway. There's nothing we love more than when classic is on trend! This catwalk trend that SHOULD BE in every stylish woman's beauty arsenal, if it's not already. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS It's CLASSY not crazy. Forget neon color nails and grotesque nail designs. (Almost) naked is better and VERY chic. Age-Appropriate Tip: What you can pull off for your toes, doesn't always rock on you hands no matter how trendy it may be at the moment. I've never been a fan of kooky nail colors for a mani after a certain age… let's face it, mint green nails and wrinkled hands are not a pretty combo. It's far

Libertine Spring 2013 A Fun Mix Of Ethereal and Wild

Libertine Spring 2013 Runway Review: The Spring 2013 Libertine collection was a like stepping through the looking glass into a colorful world of smashed kalidescopes and coming out covered in fairy dust! A fun mix of ethereal and funky, vintage boudoir and quirky, tame and wild. I think this may cater more to our Western edge girls over the East Coast black-out brigade, but I say work these colors wherever you can, because it truly makes fashion fun! >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS There is every color under the rainbow, and they are all swirled together into this fantastic mess, with huge prints and clunky accessories it's a real bohemian chic statement kaer for Spring. I love the dresses and the lightweight layering. And

Ralph Lauren Collection Spring 2013 Ralph Lauren Collection Spring 2013 Runway Review: Dont call it a costume affair as this landmark designer of easy-on-the-wear style has yet to disappoint Opening with a selection of full-on looks with an ambiguous Spanish vibe (was it Spain, or Latin America on the mind?) the designer delivered a series of serious looks with an assortment of style notes to consider. Shawls, ponchos, Matador jackets, here, they all got the full-on Ralph Lauren treatment. Head-to-toe, each exit made for a convincing argument on the enduring sartorial cues and effortless romance of Spanish style influences on fashion at large. >> MORE: Ralph Lauren brand Always a pragmatist, Lauren topped said looks with berets and toppers of all
