The Show: Kimberly Ovitz Spring/Summer 2013 Runway Show
The Theme: Mythological Nomad
The Color Palette: Muted earth tones and subtle hues of eggshell, pale nude, ice, paper, dark nude, terracotta, thunder and optic white.
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: While a neutral palette of beige, barefooted beauty walked down a rough clay runway at Hudson Rive Park’s Pier 57 for the Kimberly Ovitz show, there was nothing muted about the styling of this lineup. Billowing fabrics of silk, chiffon and jersey were expertly draped into fluid silhouettes and Ovitz’s designs celebrated a nomadic style with raw finishes and unexpected details. And not to go unnoticed, the silver metal cuffs around models arms, redefined the meaning of an arm party.

The Show: Costello Tagliapietra Spring/Summer 2013 Runway Show
The Theme: Fabulously Fitted Draped Dresses (A Costello Tagliapietra Signature)
The Color Palette: Two-toned air dyed garments in an array of corals, blues and greens
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: Maybe I’m a sucker for a local homegrown Pennsylvania boy like Jeffrey Costello, or maybe they had me at the print boilersuit (romper), but the silhouettes that seemingly glide over a woman’s figure had me and the audience swooning.
Beautiful draping and the perfect amount of ruching detail on dresses waists, hips and derrieres showed the audience at Milk Studios that these pieces are flattering for any woman. Unique shapes and even more innovative prints dominated the catwalk and hugged the curves of even the slightest of women. Another collection of perfectly fitted garments by the perfect design duo that is Costello Tagliapietra.

The Show: Nicole Miller Spring 2013
The Theme: “Batteries Not Included” -a 1980s Redux
The Color Palette: black and white stripes, florals, inky blues
Best Standout Look/the Signature of the Collection: Nicole Miller may have looked to her very own archives for inspiration in this collection that gave an ode to the early 90s in print, silhouette, and styling, but felt fresh with cut to the body leathers, cropped tops, and fitted blazers.

The Theme: “Austerity and Adornment”
