Did Dolce and Gabbana kidnap models from their beds and then march their sleepy heads down the Milan runway? Leave it to the genius fashion minds at this renowned Italian fashion house to make the “rolled out of bed look,” chic — actually scratch that — couture! The design duo paired classic silk men’s pajama tops and bottoms with full and textured skirts and colorful blazers with poufy sleeves, and we even saw this new signature style as a bathing suit! We also were astonished with the multiple ways silk ribbons were used as accessories in the form of belts, bowties, and brooches. The collection concluded with pastel Cinderella gowns adorned with flowers that left us in the middle of a fairytale dreamland. When we wake up, we’ll be sure to snatch some pajamas out of our boyfriend’s closet, but we’re sure it won’t look nearly as cool as Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s versions!

This season Zac Posen featured the transformation of the good girl gone bad. He began his collection with a delicately pale pink dress on model Raquel Zimmerman, whose larger-than-life earrings and rocker chic hairstyle suggested this girl wasn’t all frills and glamour. The metamorphosis continued as models traded in dainty and pale lips for a decidedly metallic purple pout. Posen also started mixing in a few leopard prints, although the pieces still had an airy, demure look to them. Later, as the finale approached we were presented with bolder and darker pieces. Our favorite look was something we like to dub as “Elizabethan goth” — engaging the quintessential elements of female dressing with an ominous, dark dark mood, which made the usually pretty and innocent faced Lily Donaldson, give off a powerful “Don’t mess with me” vibe. Posen showed us that its possible to embrace our inner rebel while still donning a feminine chiffon dress!

Oscar de la Renta, who is quite well-known for his elegant designs, lived up to his reputation with dress after dress being absolutely pristine and classic at New York fashion week. The Jackie O. sunglasses matched perfectly with the preppy prints, clean silhouettes, and a coral shaped necklace Our favorite piece was a 1950’s style red and pink floral frock with a tight bodice and flared skirt that in our opinion, stole the show. We think a leisurely stroll along the shoreline looking for seashells in this dress would be absolutely divine, n’est-ce pas? From belted one-piece swim suits to sweeping evening gowns, Oscar has got all of you Hampton and Cape Cod beach babes covered.
