Over the last few years we’ve seen countless luxury brands stage fashion shows in China–in Beijing, Shanghai, on the Great Wall–in addition to staging their shows in Paris, London, New York or Milan. With Chinese surpassing Americans as the biggest consumers of luxury goods, designers are focusing more than ever on China.
Of course, for smaller labels that aren’t part of luxury conglomerates, China is a market that’s harder to tap into. Enter the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund’s latest initiative, “Americans in China,” which will bring Proenza Schouler, Rag & Bone, and Marchesa (three former CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists) to China to present their fall-winter 2013 collections at the Ming Dynasty City Wall Relics Park, at the Great Wall of China, in Beijing.

Four cities, one season: Fall 2013. Nemo kicked the collections off and every city to follow added its own dose of wintry chill. Somehow all that cold weather caused a discernible note of restraint to float through the collections.

These looks felt grounded in the return of the “Lady,” as fashion’s pendulum swung away from the risqué, toward the refreshingly refined (spike-studded shoulders be damned). Check out our top trends for fall in the slide show.
A common observation following a runway show is, “That was styled really well.” In some cases, the styling can make or break a collection, which is why people like Katie Grand, Vanessa Traina and Brad Goreski have jobs during fashion week. Good styling showcases the clothes in the best way and also projects an image Read more →
Fashion week came, and brought a feisty lil’ friend named Nemo along for the ride–forcing us to consider forgoing, “Well, doesn’t she look chic!” for, “Well, doesn’t she look warm?!” The runways begged to differ, offering up endless new ways to bundle-up beautifully for fall 2013. Check out our top ten trend takeaways from the fashion week that weathered the storm in style.
Before I even start on the clothes I would like to thank Rag & Bone for providing all of us snow-covered editors and buyers with mulled wine, beer, and warm pretzels. That was awesome. Now, on to the clothes–because they were pretty awesome, too.
Nothing was going to stop us from catching Jason Wu, Rag & Bone, SUNO and more on day three of NYFW, not even a blizzard. We put on our L.L. Bean boots and our game faces and sloshed from show to show. Thankfully there were some pleasant surprises in the form of mulled wine and Drew Barrymore at Rag & Bone; silly faces fram Cara Delevingne at Jason Wu; and celebs from Kate Nash to Nicky Hilton to Selita Ebanks, all of whom looked completely untouched by the wintry mix outside.

If the long leather jackets, big patterns, turtleknecks, and olive palette recalled the decade of Nixon, Ford and Carter during Rag & Bone’s fall 2013 menswear show last night at Skylight Moden, the designers were determined not be stuck there.
The invites have been sent out, the seating charts are being filled, and fashion folks everywhere are resoling their Manolos (and setting their DVRs–can’t miss Girls!): Fashion week is upon us!
Another year, another New Year’s Eve–and that means another New Year’s Eve wardrobe dilemma.
