Tonight, the US winner of the prestigious Woolmark prize will be named. But before that happens, take a peek at the sketches submitted by all ten finalists.
Last year, Woolmark revived its International Woolmark Prize, a global fashion competition that is credited with springboarding the careers of Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld in the '50s. Today, the U.S. finalists have been announced and the list includes some of our favorites. They are:
The multi, multi-talented Karl Lagerfeld used acid and fire to etch portraits into giant glass panels for his latest art exhibit in Switzerland. He would. {WWD} Startling and unsettling statistics: Jezebel's extensive research shows that New York's runways were less racially diverse than previous seasons, and a number of brands had no models of color at all. {Jezebel} Greetings, Earthlings!

Squares could be boring, but for Ohne Titel's Flora Adams and Alexa Gill, they proved a more than riveting inspiration. "We were playing with the id
New York is unreasonably cold right now. Like impending-blizzard-freeze-your-Rag & Bone-covered-butt-off cold. This is exactly why we, and fashionistas nowhere near New York, are praising the fashion gods (more like IMG & various PR people) for the glorious amount of New York fashion week shows livestreaming this week. We wrangled 89 shows (89!) and presentations to tune into over the course of the next week...with even more coming in! The best part? You won't be judged for taking in these shows in your pjs over some popcorn or pizza or half a bottle of wine... See any shows we missed? Let us know!

We've got another round of show notes ready for you to check out! Belstaff kept it light with linen, Ohne Titel got graphic, and Carlos Miele took us to the jungle.
The Clothes: The downtown design duo looked to the manic, graphic drawings of Chicago-based visual artist Karl Wirsum for inspiration this season. Bri
As a seasoned livestreamer, running home from school everyday (and sometimes during lunch period) to catch a show made me feel like I was sitting front row, but without the annoying crowds.
For fall 2012, Ohne Titel's Alexa Adams and Flora Gill found inspiration in the works of fiber artist Sheila Hicks who is known for her sculptures made out of tightly woven fabric, including everything from newspapers, used clothing and other textiles. The fascination with textures and weaving techniques was immediately evident in the first look--a monochromatic skirt/jacket combo, featuring sporty looking piping and contrasting patterns. More monochromatic looks followed, including a silky, glammed-up version of track-pants paired with a leather and fur top.
New York Fashion Week wrapped last Thurdsay, and while the event won it's fair share of sartorial praise, for many it was yet another reminder of how painfully un-diverse the fashion world and particularly, the runway, is. The site Loop21 has analyzed diversity on the New York runways for a few seasons now, and the spring 2012 report is in. The site found an uptick in the number of models of color on the runways this season, highlighting the efforts of Tracy Reese, J.Crew, St. John and Imitation of Christ for putting on the most diverse shows. Kudos also to Costello Tagliapietra, Ohne Titel and Rad Hourani, each of whom cast over half their shows with non-white models. But while numbers may have been up since last year (where 25 out of 144 shows featured no black models at all), they're still pretty dismal. According to the report, out of more than 200 designers showing at New York Fashion Week, 20 of them featured no black models. And for the most part, the runways are mainly white, with percentages of models of color hovering somewhere in the 20% region. Writing for the Huffington Post, Loop21 contributing editor Kelly Goff notes that there are still some designers who could do better.

Once a hip, in-demand brand's been around for a couple of years, buyers begin to expect a bridge between Fall and Winter collections. Resort provides this connection. It means more work and more challenges, but it also means a rounder, fuller year in terms of sales as well as design scope. Flora Gill and Alexa Adams of Ohne Titel are at this pivotal point. Buyers are demanding more of them, but how does such a young brand launch a resort collection? For Gill and Adams, the extension means taking their most admired pieces and making them fresh for the season. I wouldn't call the selection a group of classics, but rather standards.
