Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week in Review: Favorite Shows

In no particular order, here are my favorite shows of the season.


Chado Ralph Rucci
Slightly sexier—and more colorful—for fall, but as exquisitely made and luxurious as always.


 Tory Burch
One of the strongest points of view, with a polished, British-inspired take on the '70s trend and must-have palazzo pants. 

Yigal Azrouel
An abrupt silhouette change toward tailored pieces mixed with neon brights, completely well-executed and fresh. 


Rebecca Taylor
A pretty, wearable take on the '70s trend, complete with bright colors, soft textures and an all-around feminine look. 




Christian Siriano
A more restrained, grown-up collection designed to sell, sell, sell (and that's good news).

Nanette Lepore 
After days of exciting color, she made neutrals look irresistible again, with a pretty mixture of ethereal dresses and cozy knits.

Joy Cioci
A promising debut with interesting coats, sexy dresses, and a mix of textures for the modern girl.

New York Fashion Week in Review: My Favorite Shows

In no particular order, my favorite shows of the season.

Vena Cava
Cool, colorblocked looks inspired by the Memphis movement but made modern in softer colors and silks.


DKNY
New York dressing by way of Paris, with tailored pieces, bright colors, ruffles galore, and a strong sense of optimism.


BCBG Max Azria
In a week where little white dresses were de rigeur, these were some of the best. Bon chic, bon genre indeed.


Tory Burch
Groovy seventies bohemian flavor by way of the Upper East Side--plus killer bags and shoes too.


Nanette Lepore
Colorful, joyful, carefree, and completely wearable too.


Nicole Miller
A wearable take on sheer layers, mixed in with tailored pieces, sexy cutouts, and harness details.


Jonathan Simkhai
Too-cool-for-school clothes from a designer to watch.


Chado Ralph Rucci
From heartbeat-embroidered horsehair to new pieces in cotton, the most breathtakingly beautiful clothes of the week.
