TRUSSARDI Men's Collection by Umit Benan Runway Collection Video SPRING / SUMMER 2012 MEN'S FASHION WEEK MILAN Video: Trussardi- Men's Collection Fashion Show by Umit Benan at Palazzo Trussardi in Piazza della Scala in Milano In their words... TRUSSARDI MEN’S COLLECTION SPRING/SUMMER 2012 They have opened their wardrobes, packed their luggage, and set off for Palazzo Trussardi in Milan. Some are driving a classic car while others are arriving in the Trussardi BMW 5 Series GT. Some have grabbed a taxi from the airport, while others are aboard a stretch limo or pedaling a Trussardi bike. Some are alone and others are traveling in a group. The Trussardi Boys are all unique, yet they share the same timeless elegance

Collection Review: The variety of textures and fabrications is a result of a detailed and sophisticated eye and it allows solid colors to really stand out next to each other. On a dreary early spring evening in Manhattan, a midtown roof deck was transformed into an intimate setting, glowing softly in warm candle light and plush with worn oriental rugs, to host the Haute Hippie Fall 2011 Preview. It was a lovely party to attend - not only to admire the boho chic collection and the fittingly boho-chic guests, but the passed hors duerves and champagne kept everyone satisfied and there was a sultry, live performance by singer Marla Joy. A party only a true haute hippie would want to

Runway Review Snippets: Our top 5 from Paris are Balenciaga, Chloe, Miu Miu, Rick Owens, CarvenParis Fashion Week, as always is the most directional of cities when it comes to silhouettes and attitudes.This season, without exception, the Parisian runways offered a dramatic shift in form to a more oversized, almost cocoon shape and many with strong exaggerated shoulders. A shape that is strikingly visual on the runway and may need some modifying for the everyday woman not to appear bulky.>> MORE: Fashion Shows and Runway ReviewsThere's a very distinct shift in shapes that you should note, both for next fall, and what you can scout on on the racks now. Did you notice that Chloe made it on our list again?

Runway Review Snippets: Prada, Jil Sander, Missoni are my top 3 shows A quick little baci from Milan Fashion Week... Leave it to Milan to amp up Fall 2011 with a series of forward thinking outings that were as full of nuanced personality as they were of wearable ideas. Here's a quick look some of my favorites, destined to inspire wardrobe additions and style inspirations. --Naveed Hussain >> MORE: Fashion Shows and Runway Reviews Prada An intoxicating mix of nostalgia from Yves Saint Laurent in the 80's to sci-fi mermaids with an achingly hip 60's undercurrent to the demure dolly-girl dresses, Muiccia Prada's Fall outing was hedonistically other worldly pastiched with the most charming display of femininity. Jil

New York Fashion Week Highlight: All the prints were oversize but still so delicate and evoking the callings of Art Nouveau, any true girl will love to wear them. More from New York Fashion Week...A pure and refreshing tone was set with Nanette Lepore's Fall 2011 collection of airy pieces, complimented with chunky knits, tweeds and leather.There was a streak of black leather and delicate dark prints, otherwise the palette was warm creams, champagne tones, soft greys and some punches of sea foam blue. You would have thought it was Spring if it weren't for the sweaters and outerwear! >> MORE: Fashion Shows and Runway Reviews The khaki utility trench was a key outerwear piece, with tonal color blocking

New York Fashion Week Highlight: Lively & wearable- you couldn't have more sweet fun dressing up! Anna Sui has a great ability to always channel a 60's hippie vibe along with a 60's rock vibe and a bit of country thrown in for the good girls. Her Fall 2011 collection didn't disappoint in any of these areas and continues to stay strong in the bold, bright prints, wacky accessories - the cat hat - and a high element of girliness. >> MORE: Fashion Shows and Runway Reviews The palette is bold, but with muted colors that when placed on top of one another give us the bright prints. >> SHOP: Anna Sui at ShopBop There was a constant rotation of style so if that psychedelic butterfly

New York Fashion Week Highlight: Fashion is nonsense and should be fun and exercised with creativity and joy. Betsey gets that right year after year. If you can see a fashion show, this is hands down the one to get into. Betsey Johnson is a performance piece, not just fashion. And not just the Fall 2011 collection, but every single one of 'em. The music is revved, the models are dancing down the runway, the crowd is excited and let's not forget Betsey's infamous cartwheel finale! Now onto the clothing portion. But wait, first the super radical hair and shoes. The platinum ombre sprayed on the black hair with precise black lace stencil - radical. The open toe, super stiletto

New York Fashion Week Highlight: If you don't want to cross trends, Gwen Stefani makes sure there's at least there's a little something for every city treading girl Gwen Stefani is going to give Betsey Johnson a run for her money as far as fashion performances go. Because the Fall 2011 collection, which was the final show for Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week, was a production of music, video, choreography and themed clothing. A huge video screen hung at the end of the runway showing video appropriate for each of the six mini collections; beginning with an army/combat capsule, a Rasta/jamaican capsule, a Brit punk capsule, the Japanamation capsule, a mod 60's capsule, and ending with a perfectly posh Gwen capsule. >> MORE: Fashion Shows and Runway Reviews That's a

New York Fashion Week Highlight: Every look was jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and every look conveyed the essence of the luxe jet-setter lifestyle to which he caters in complete perfection. It's borderline impossible to ever say that a Michael Kors collection isn't just stunning. After seeing this Fall 2011 collection it is actually impossible. Because every look was jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and every look conveyed the essence of the luxe jet-setter lifestyle to which he caters in complete perfection. >> MORE: Fashion Shows and Runway Reviews As always, his color palette is built strictly on solids and with the exception of the bold red that came down the runway in a few looks, it was a very warm and soothing range of color
