Josie Natori held her Winter/Fall 2011 Collection presentation to introduce her elegant and completely wearable new line shown in dramatic blacks, ivory-whites, deep reds, royal blues and yellows with touches of mauve browns as well as hints of fur, beading, and rectangular sequins. Soft, well-tailored cashmere and knit sweaters, ponchos and dresses stood tall next to unique silk-printed patterned loose-fitting dresses and tops, slightly pulled in at the hips and waist, giving an appealing effect as timeless and whimsical as the material of silk itself. Many of the ensembles were paired with distinctive delicately hammered-metal silver or gold bracelets and belts that appropriately accentuated the individuality of each piece. From posh, collar-bone-high to low-scooping cowl-neck layered tops and dresses, the simple yet elegant tailoring of Natori allowed for the detailed beading stitched onto the printed silks to stand out in a noticeable, but not over-the-top, manner.

The F/W 2011 Marc by Marc Jacobs collection was an intriguing and insightful blend of “1970’s gone 1940’s”. The collection was both trendy and glamorous, as the collection offered up a dash of old Hollywood glamour; there was an array of chevron-patterned luxe fabrications, a corduroy suits, and higher wasit lines to boot. Heels were given the pairing of ankle socks, and the ’70s once again surfaced for Jacobs with pieces such as prominent, flowing jumpsuits. Marc Jacobs outdid himself again, proving that Marc by Marc Jacobs is not only a diffusion line, but a steady, lifestyle offering.

With each season, the “Tory girl”‘s inner indie spirit comes out a bit more, with this season surfacing via mix matched knits, and a definite vintage vibe, harking back to both the ’60s and the ’70s. Heavy on plaids, polka dots, embellishment, tweed and lace, we couldn’t keep our eyes off of the wide leg gaucho pants, that had a brilliant inner pleat to create the look of walking, or floating, on air.

Alejandro Ingelmo’s F/W 2011 collection was a throwback in time to the ’70s. The classic standbys of flats and pumps ranged from chic to sexy and were seen in camel & pinkish tones. The more standout statement pieces were the metallics– silver heels and gold wedges. With a mix of old & new, elegant & sexy, Alejandro Ingelmo will continue his ascent as a coveted shoe brand.
