A Look at this Season’s Most Creative New York Fashion Week Invites

by

One of the things we always look forward to in the pre-fashion week madness is all the pretty show invites that land on our desks.

The invites often give you an idea of what to expect from the show, too. This season, we’ve seen neon, translucent pink rubber; holographic birds; and used Petri dishes (yes–really).

We’ve rounded up some of the more eye-catching and creative NYFW invitations to show up in our mailbox so far. Aren’t they pretty?

3.1 Phillip Lim Pre-Fall 2013: An Editor’s Eye

by

Nowadays, those street style stars vying for Scott, Garance and Tommy‘s acknowledgement are increasingly influencing the very designers that dress them. Their madcap layering, tomboy-meets-ingenue styling, and statement-shoe confidence form the rhythm of contemporary fashion, a beat designers can’t ignore. For Pre-Fall 2013, it was as though Phillip Lim set out to debunk just what makes the girls outside the shows so darned captivating.

The Best Handbags of Fall 2012

by

While shoes got a bit tamer for Fall 2012, handbags have only gotten more wild.

Fur and faux furs bags were all the rage at Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, Dries van Noten, and Michael Kors, and while the perspex bags at 3.1 Phillip Lim and the cute minauderies from Diane von Furstenberg may not be totally useful, they sure are cute.

Or course if you need a bag that will actually fit your things inside it, the giant leather carryalls at Alexander Wang might just do the trick.

The Best Shoes of the Fall 2012 Season

by

We’ve scoured the Fall 2012 collections for the most amazing shoes, and it was easy, because there were plenty. The best part? Footwear options for Fall 2012 are a lot more reasonable than their Spring 2012 counterparts. (Remember those 6 inch Versace lucite wedges?)

Fall 2012 saw lots of wide heels and mary-janes on the runway, and sometimes both simultaneously–like at Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Marni. Knee-high black boots ruled at Alexander Wang, Altuzarra, Givenchy, and Rick Owens, and ladylike pumps could be found at Lanvin, Nina Ricci, and Jil Sander. Of course, if you’re looking for something crazy, look no further than Alexander McQueen’s heel-less fur shoes. Impractical, but so lovely.

Take a look at all the amazing shoes from Fall 2012 and just try to pick a favorite. It’s near impossible.
