Burberry's Caped Crusaders Hit the Runway for Spring 2013

The trench got a metallic makeover. It was chopped and cropped into capelets, corsets, and capes in done shimmering shades of fuchsia, turquoise, green and bright red. Harry Styles of One Direction (and his hair) and Dita Von Teese sat next to each other in the front row. Wonder what they talked about?

The Clothes: While the prevailing colors on the spring runways so far have been limited to black, white and the occasional

The Front Row: From left to right it went like this: Alice Eve, Victoria Pendleton, Aaron Paul, Dita Von Teese, Harry Styles, Dev Patel, Gabriella Wilde, Mario Testino and Harvey Weinstein. What I would give to figure out what kind of small talk went down between this motley crew...

Also there: Anna Wintour, Olympian Allyson Felix, Olivia Palermo, tennis player Andy Murray and his gf Kim Sears.

Burberry Fall 2013: Trench Kiss

It's too bad Christopher Bailey's fall 2013 Burberry show missed Valentine's Day by only about four days.

Issa Spring 2013

Daniella Helayel and Camilla Al Fayed's spring collection for Issa had a "Garden of Eden" theme. That meant bright color and tropical prints--a reflection of Helayel's native Brazil. Her signature wrapped jersey numbers and pantsuits were done up in loud tropical floral and bird prints--though there were still a few solid floor length jersey dresses--low cut and wrapped at the waist--that we could see on Helayel's most famous fan, Duchess Kate Middleton.

Marios Schwab Spring 2013

The Clothes: Schwab tackled "tribal" for his spring 2013 collection. It's a troublesome descriptor as it can be taken too literally, used too broadly, and at worst, can offend. But Schwab pulled it off.
