Since the fashion weeks of New York, London and Milan just finished and with Paris in full force this week, I have been absolutely up to my eyeballs in runway shows! I am loving what I am seeing for Fall 2013 so far and I want to give you a rundown of my favorite trends from New York’s Fashion Week…
Vera Wang | Kenneth Cole | Michael Kors
.
Gloves! Long or short, a bare-handed model was well within the minority.
Badgley Mischka | Donna Karan | Badgley Mischka
Donna Karan | Carolina Herrera | Zac Posen
.
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No…it’s just one of the most surprising trends I spotted – Capes.
Reem Acra | Naeem Khan | Vera Wang
Monique Lhuillier | Reem Acra | Ralph Lauren
.
No surprise here – (Faux?) Fur spotted everywhere!
Donna Karan | Monique Lhuillier | Rachel Zoe
Badgley Mischka | Naeem Kahn | Marc by Marc Jacobs
.
Last year, Mad Men made the impact on the runways…This year, Downton Abbey? The post-World War II era definitely inspired several designers.
Jenny Packham | Carolina Herrera | Zac Posen
DKNY | 3.1 Phillip Lim | Donna Karan
.
Color blocking is SO last season…Fabric and texture blocking is what’s now. Who says you can’t have leather, quilting, felting and herringbone all in one outfit? It’s fine for Fall 2013, as long as you keep it monochromatic.

Naeem Khan | Donna Karan | Jenny Packham
.
Gowns were embellished with beading, sequins, crystals and other sparkly things. Most creations had head to toe sparkle.
Monique Lhuillier | Reem Acra | Badgley Mishka
Michael Kors | Anna Sui | Milly
.
Color! Get rid of the winter blahs with saturated, bold hues! Do not be afraid of neon!
Michael Kors | Rebecca Minkoff | DKNY
Calvin Klein Collection | Elie Tahari | Calvin Klein Collection
.
Menswear continues to have the slender, crisp look of the 1960’s.
Michael Kors | Kenneth Cole | Michael Kors
Calvin Klein Collection | Michael Kors | Rachel Zoe
.
Sporty chic – Whether it’s a dressy sweatshirt (is that an oxymoron?) or a sporty texture, this urban look is hot.
Milly | DKNY | Nanette Lepore
Anna Sui | Nanette Lepore | Badgley Mischka
.
Girls, grab your fishnets! This texture was on several runways – on the legs, added as sheer panels, or draping evening gowns.
Jenny Packham | Reem Acra | Reem Acra
. Whew! Got all that? Happy Shopping!
XOXO,
