The Clothes: In three words: Sleek, sexy and strong. The show opened with a series of white power dresses (another designer hopping on the palette cleanser bandwagon) before getting into seafoms, purples and finally black. The silhouettes were form-fitting and even simple, but they were anything but boring (or conservative) thanks to sheer paneling and body-baring slits. To that end, the frocks were super sexy and often times revealing (some wearers might want to skip lunch before slipping into one) but still conveyed a message of female power and empowerment.

The Hair & Makeup: The hair was super shiny and pin straight, while the makeup was relatively bare--a generous dose of bronzer and a cat-eye flick of eyeliner. It was the perfect counterpart to the collection's sexy and minimalistic vibe.

The Soundtrack: Heavy base.

The Vibe: Standard Milk

The Front Row: Kate Bosworth, Dania Ramirez

Celeb We’d Most Like to See Wearing It: Kate Bosworth, Kim Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow

WTF Moment: An older male pit photographer told Dania Ramirez he admired her dress, and then was promptly told by his female companion (presumably a wife or girlfriend) to 'keep his eyes to himself.'

Cushnie et Ochs Spring 2012: Peplum Please

There’s no question as to why 2011 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist Cushnie et Ochs is a favorite amongst red carpet starlets like Jessica Alba, Rihanna, and Olivia Wilde. The label is known for its sexy body-con silhouettes, strategically suggestive cut-outs and supple leather pieces, and the upcoming Spring season definitely keeps up the heat. The first look down the runway--a stark white and super cleavage-y strapless peplum dress--set the tone. The theme throughout the looks: dominatrix-esque leather cut-outs, criss-cross detailing and tons of peplum. The leather pieces are easily translated for Spring--our favorites included the black leather bustier dress with flared skirt, the reverse version with a stretch fabric bustier top with leather flared skirt, and a body-con peplum moto-vest. As the 90s silhouettes rang strong, we couldn’t help but think of the Thierry Mugler-directed and supermodel-populated 1992 George Michael “Too Funky” video, which also featured Mugler’s drop-dead sexy moto-inspired bodysuits.
