The Top Trends from the Fall 2013 Runways

Four cities, one season: Fall 2013. Nemo kicked the collections off and every city to follow added its own dose of wintry chill. Somehow all that cold weather caused a discernible note of restraint to float through the collections. Don’t worry--the passion and excitement were still there, but designers actively pursued defining new ways we can really dress next fall. These looks felt grounded in the return of the “Lady," as fashion’s pendulum swung away from the risqué, toward the refreshingly refined (spike-studded shoulders be damned). Check out our top trends for fall in the slide show.

Do Not Try This at Home: The Most Outrageous Looks from the Men's Shows

The men's shows just wrapped and haute couture has already started. But before we start analyzing Bill Gaytten's latest efforts for Dior couture, let's take a look back at the amazing over-the-top-ness that happened at the fall menswear shows in Milan and Paris. I always love the menswear shows because the runway looks are much more extreme, much more Zoolander. There were coats with peacock feather tails, men wearing headbands that read 'I Love Black Cock,' a model in a gas mask, Minotaur-inspired bejeweled nose rings, and some serious bed head. OK on the runway. Not OK in real life. Men, please, do not try this at home.

Fall 2011 Beauty Trendspotting: Will the Real Slim Braidy Please Stand Up?

The Fall 2011 shows are 75% over, and we're pretty comfortable calling braids a world-wide trend. Can we blame/credit Alex Wang's S/S 2010 collection for the current plaitmania? Hard to say, but you couldn't go more than 50 feet without seeing a braided model. They were loose and boho at Rag and Bone and Erdem (and Mara Hoffman topped hers with turbans). Rachel Roy and Erin Fetherston were channeling the St.Pauli Girl (or yodelers). Alexandre Herchcovitch and Nanette Lepore got complicated with their braided updos, and Etro flirted with cornrows.
