The Top Trends from the Fall 2013 Runways

by

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. Don’t worry–the passion and excitement were still there, but designers actively pursued defining new ways we can really dress next fall. 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.

Tanya Taylor Fall 2013: Contained Beauty at the MoMA

by

There was a lot to love in former Elizabeth & James designer Tanya Taylor’s third-ever collection. “Our girl has grown up from last season,” the 26-year-old designer told us last night at the MoMA–a pretty grown up place to show such a young line. She says it’s her favorite place in New York and she called up corporate sponsors until one of them could make it happen.

From J.Brand’s fashion week debut to pink fur at Tanya Taylor to carousel rides and Ne-Yo at the Prabal Gurung for Target launch party, click through to see what we saw.

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

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?

What We’re Thankful For in Fashion: Designers, Models and Bloggers Weigh In

by

It’s Thanksgiving! The one day a year the fashion world puts aside its fad diets and smizes in favor of that extra slice of pumpkin pie and some awkward yet so-necessary family photos. To keep things light on this day of heavy feasting, we asked some of our favorite people in the industry what fashion things (what else?) they’re thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

The Fashionista Five: New NYFW Designers to Watch

by

It seems impossible, but somehow, new designers are added to the fashion week calendar every season. But how do we know which ones to make room for in our own crazy-packed fashion week schedules?

We did a little research and, like last season, came up with an edited list of five promising newbies for whom we think this fashion week could be just the beginning of a flourishing career.

From a former J. Crew designer to a Brazilian import, click through for the Fashionista five of spring 2013.
