Alejandro Ingelmo Spring 2014: Step by Step
At the top of the Standard Hotel, in an exquisitely tiny jewel-box of a presentation space, we happened upon Alejandro Ingelmo's Spring 2014 assortment. The Cuban craftsman's way with a sexy stiletto could not be more relevant, as single-sole constructions and "lady" silhouettes are shaping up to factor quite centrally within the industry's top trend-stories of this season.
Jenni Kayne Spring 2014: Good Girl Gone Sailing
Jenni Kayne wasted no time getting down to the nitty-gritty for Spring 2014; her presentation at Industria Studios was all about simplicity, leaving the clothes to take center stage.

Tess Giberson Spring 2014: Sustainably Chic
Tess Giberson's a New York City girl at heart, but there was something rather West Coast about her presentation for Spring 2014. Not West Coast in a beach-babes, "surf's up" manner, but rather a forward-thinking, clean-living kind of way. Yes, that eco-conscious sensibility that factors so centrally in the Northern Californian lifestyle was evoked by Giberson's paired-down lines and airy details.

Zimmermann Spring 2014: Under the Big Top

Veronica Beard Spring 2014: '80s Ladies on Holiday
This season, the Veronicas shook things up a bit, going in a decidedly more casual direction as a result of their current fascination with all things '80s--though thankfully, their foray into graffiti, head-to-toe denim, and op-prints didn't go the way of a Saved by The Bell season finale.
Harbison Spring 2014: Rock the Boat
Charles Harbison is right at home in the American sportswear mix; having worked for both classics-enthusiast Billy Reid and maestro-of-metropolitan-simplicity Michael Kors, he’s no stranger to a rakishly cinched trench coat, or the most dandy of menswear-tailored slacks.
