Derek Lam Spring 2012 Runway is Full of Louche Sportswear

Runway Review: Plenty of key pieces we all can wear and stylize! Lucky for you, Derek Lam's recent Spring 2012 outing stays mostly consistent within his timeless sportswear mentality and time tested hallmarks- clean colors, color blocking and sleek tailoring. His crisp palette of bright whites, coral, seafoam, yellow and toasted brown sheen leather should make smart choices for sunny spring days lounging around a rooftop pool. As always, fabric details were key here and Lam's knits define this point with variegated ribs, honeycomb stitches and a sharp diamond jacquard that was worked into a dress, a skirt and a short sleeve and long sleeve top- must-have items that can be worn in a myriad of ways. A basketweave pattern

Charlotte Ronson Spring 2012 Fashion Show for the free-spirited BoHo girl in you

Runway Review: Light, simple and carefree - as fashion should be - is what you will find in Charlotte Ronson for Spring 2012. Charlotte Ronson's Spring 2012 collection continues with the bohemian feeling known for her line, but for Spring 2012 she trades in the grunge we have seen in the past two seasons and for a of precious vintage femininity.  The ever-present small floral prints are here again and in addition we have cotton eyelets, lace collars, ombre chiffon, delicate knits and shimmering beading. For the boho tomboy there is patchwork denim, printed chambray denim and black and white stripe shorts - which have been spotted on multiple runways this season.  The muted palette is dreamy and makes the pieces

Herve Leger Spring 2012 Fashion Show is hotter than hot

Runway Review: I desperately want to be the woman in the room wearing Herve Leger's Spring 2012 collection pieces. Sexy, strong, feminine, and very aware of her prowess she is indeed. And wearing a dress to match the attitude. The collection is beautifully simple yet intricate - the color palette hardly strays from champagne, silver and soft rose lurex, black and white. The silhouettes overall are fitted, ahem....very fitted, mid-thigh, sleeveless sheath dresses. It's all very simple until you get up close and see the exquisite seaming, braiding, knotting, metallic beadwork and pleating. These details are what make each dress simply nail it dead on. And these details mold to the body and create a stunning piece of work on

Diane Von Furstenberg- Spring 2012 Fashion Show

Runway Review: You will be covered with it all in DVF next Spring!  I would like to find myself dressed in the collection next April and May. The DVF woman will confidently strut in draped silk crepe, crisp wrap skirts with volumous pockets, tailored suitings, oversized, bold prints, and a hint of shimmer. The runway collection eases us in with a color palatte of soft grey, taupe, pale citron and warm coral, then it grows strong with kelly green, violet and hibiscus orange; a very balance array grounded with clean white.  Not one piece is overly tailored and tight, instead the drape and fluidity defines this version of sexy body conscious. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS The opening look, a crisp white
