Insanely addictive.
Inspired by the idea of "handsome femininity," Richard Chai showed a Fall collection that was simultaneously simple, yet statement-making. “I didn’t want to do anything that was tricky,” Chai told The New York Times. “I didn’t want to create looks that were just for the show. I wanted it to be approachable and believable, but also be really aspirational. At the end of the day, it’s Read more

While white lace makes us feel girlie and romantic, in a darker palette, the feel is something else entirely. Moody blue and black lace are more vampy than girlie, as Olivia Palermo, Chloë Moretz, and Lea Michele prove in their lace confections. Olivia channels an almost gothic-inspired style, thanks to a long, sheer skirt to complement a black lace top, while Chloë's ladylike Dolce & Read more

Was this Marc Jacobs's last collection for Louis Vuitton? If so, it was a gorgeous outing, as innocent and light as last season was naughty and rich.

Roland Mouret knows what women want: to appear incredibly sexy, without ever feeling like you've gone too far or tried too hard.

While his Fall '11 looks veered into softer femininity, there is a mix both of retro-inspired silhouettes giving way to more modern details. Dresses Read more
Prada Fall might just be the work of a childlike fantasy. Miuccia Prada, who two seasons ago gave us lace and bombshell silhouettes, claimed she wanted to explore innocence within glamour. Turn back the clocks, to when we crept into our mother's closet and pulled out everything we shouldn't touch — python, furs, shiny paillettes, organza — and then combined it all into one glorious outfit, Read more
For Fall, Kate and Laura Mulleavy fuse the world of the urban and the prairie innocent. It's equal parts quirky and confident and spills out with bold details, like geometric print and dramatic architectural necklines. Then it counters with softer, draped full-length dresses and a lighter, neutral palette. The cut and finish to jumpsuits, pants, tops, and double-collared dresses are sharp and Read more
It was a textural mix 'n' match at Rachel Roy, whose looks seemed inspired by the street style just outside Lincoln Center.

It was Read more
