The Clothes: Sporty, cool and grown up. Every season, I write about how much Timo Weiland and Alan Eckstein have grown and evolved as designers and this season they took their cool, youthful aesthetic to a new cleaner level. The duo are always inspired by a "scene" and this season had an 80s/90s hip hop feel. While menswear was pretty clean, simple, and casual, much of the womenswear was adorned with quirky Keith Haring-inspired prints and patterns as well as houndstooth in various sizes. Memorable looks include a grey and yellow trench with houndstooth printed on the front paired with matching shorts, a rubberized zig zag printed raincoat with a matching skirt, a cropped polka-dotted jacket, and, two evening looks: a patterned Swarovski crystal-adorned cropped tank paired with a billowy navy silk skirt; and the last look: a black shimmering off-the-shoulder cocktail number.

The Hair & Makeup: Hair was in tight ponytails that had a ghetto-fabulous feel and makeup was heavy on the eyebrows, glossy on the lips. Very Brooke Shields.

The Soundtrack: Hip hop.

The Vibe: As cool and party-like as a runway show at Lincoln Center can be. There was definitely a lot of love and support in the air. These boys, who double as djs, have a lot of friends.

The Front Row: Zombieboy (Rick Genest), AnnaSophia Robb, Spankrock

Celebrity We'd Most Like to See Wearing this Collection: Emma Watson or Blake Lively

WTF Moment: We heard one Swarovski top cost $5,000 to make.

Swag: A cute tote, pink hair extensions and a discount card for Timo Weiland X Tsubo shoes

Timo Weiland Spring 2012: It's All Happening

Timo Weiland and Alan Eckstein are those hot young designers that everyone is falling in love with. At this point, they're starting to amass a cult following--everywhere I looked at the designers' first-ever runway show Sunday night, I saw one of Timo and Alan's unmistakeable prints--on ladies from all walks of life, from Timo's mom to upper east side socialites to cool kids like Annabelle Dexter-Jones. In addition to girls about town, Timo and Alan have also been garnering respect from fashion industry heavyweights. They were recently chosen to participate in the exclusive CFDA Fashion Incubator program and CFDA CEO Steven Kolb was sitting in the front row, along with major editors and stylists and even Bill Cunningham. There's a lot of excitement surrounding Timo and Alan and that showed in the clothes, which truly came alive on the runway.

Timo Weiland Women's Fall 2013: More Than Just Cool

Timo Weiland rarely fails to make clothes we're dying to wear--not because they're just going for what will sell, but because they're so attuned to that cool NYC girl we all want to be--in a genuine way. Maybe because Weiland and his design partners Alan Eckstein and Donna Kang are all pretty cool themselves.
