There was something a little dangerous about Jill Stuart's girl this season--maybe it was the kohl-rimmed eyes or the extensive use of black leather, but she seemed like a woman wronged. (If anyone wants to hear it, I made up an entire backstory about a cheating boyfriend and a road trip to Mexico.)

There was next to no color on the runway; beyond black and white, there were a few denim pieces and some looks done in a denim blue shade. The shapes were easy but still sexy thanks to a liberal use of cut-outs and a lot of sheer fabrics. And sorry ladies--crop tops are still happening, so don't give up that gym membership just yet.

The flirty dresses--a Jill Stuart signature--were undoubtedly the highlights, but those white pieces with black embroidery were pretty great, too.

Jill Stuart's Clothes Stand Up to Attention-Hoarding Celebs

Season after season, Jill Stuart peppers her front row with press-garnering celebs. While it's usually a smart move, at Saturday’s show, Stuart’s grocery list of reality stars vied for attention not just with each other, but also with her clothes. Not so discreet hand-holding (Kourtney Kardashian & Scott Disick) and even less discreet in-seat dancing (Brad Goreski--but hey, the man's got moves) piqued photographer's interest even after the lights went down, turning some cameras away from Stuart’s clothes and instead towards the people who court them. But unlike the celebs, the clothes showed restraint, and at times even austerity. (High-waisted, knee-skimming shorts come to mind, as does a clean navy cape that seemed more Jil Sander than Jill Stuart).

Jill Stuart Fall 2013: All Things Girly

Jill Stuart really knows her way around a pretty frock. From black lace, to gold-and-black chiffon, to sheer panelled silk in blushtones, there were frothy confections aplenty at her Fall 2013 show. In fact her skill at creating ultra-feminine, super-pretty dresses and skirts is so great, that her other designs--the somewhat lackluster outerwear and pants--often get lost in the mix of things.
