The Collection’s Signature Standout Look: The “Blush Silk Piano Wire Dress” was an off-the-shoulder cocktail dress that featured delicate straps and an overall stunning silhouette.

The Show: Katya Leonovich Fall 2013
The Theme: Natural and Edgy
The Color Palette: Black, blue, grey, green, and silver
The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: The collection featured a mix of organic: draped mixed fabrics and beading, and then came the edgy: black leather and faux fur. The look that showed off this juxtaposition best was look the “Silver Watercolor Print Gown with Leather Corset Belt,” which provided a movement to the dress while the thick metallic belt played well off of each other as the model made her slick walk down the runway.

The Show: Alexandre Herchocotich Fall 2013
The Theme: Flower Petals
The Color Palette: Red, white, brown, green, black,  burgundy, grey, blush prints
The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: Peel back the layers of this collection and you get a simple idea, displayed magnificently: flower petals. Each look progressed in a way a wilting flower might until the entire top of the dress came down off of the bodice and fell around the hips. The standout look of this collection was a black and white striped dress that split down the middle with one side on the torso, and the other side peeled down to the waist. A beautiful and fresh display of something seen in nature everyday.

NYFW FALL 2013: Elie Tahari, Perry Ellis by Duckie Brown

by

The Show: Elie Tahari

The Theme: A metropolis with a Siberian winter backdrop

The Color Palette: Warm shades of “winterberry, midnight dream blue, and Carnally Hill green.”

The Signature, Standout Look:  All of these very wearable garments are appealing to a variety of women who want to look polished while still wearing functional, practical clothing. The an all white modern winter landscape, quite appropriate for the weather we’ve been having, brought to life Tahari’s warm color palette, which showed both a men’s and women’s collection.

 

The Show: Perry Ellis by Duckie Brown

The Theme: Classic wear with a mix of modern-day prints

The Signature, Standout Look: For the fall season at Perry Ellis, expect warm hues such as mustards, greens, and maroons. Also noted were the combination of preppy, conservative elements paired with sportiet garments, such as bomber jackets, leather coats, and parkas, to give it a modern cool yet sophisticated update to the label. However, what really stood out from many of these runway looks was the approachable paisley print in subdued colors, found on jackets and trousers.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Leather Japan Presentation, Using a Lenovo ThinkPad

by

On the second to last day of New York Fashion Week, a Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet Powered by Intel with Windows 8 arrived, and the timing couldn’t have been better. With a full day of shows ahead, I needed to carry a tablet or laptop so that I could easily work in between shows, but got an even better option as I could take photos and even edit them on the ThinkPad! I loved that the camera provided a built-in flash and lets the user toggle between resolution options as well as make videos! It really simplified things for me, especially during this crazy hectic time, and I look forward to exploring all of the ways this Tablet will accommodate my lifestyle.

See below for pics from the Leather Japan presentation during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, showcasing eight emerging Japanese designers and how they used Japanese leather in their collections. My favorites below, include the amazing footwear from INI, accessories from e.m., and Kenji Amadana of BAGGTERY, the bag/electronic accessory charger.

Full Disclosure: the tablet used in this post was given to Fashion Pulse Daily as part of the Intel Tablet Crew project. Click here for an infographic on Your Whole Life Inside #IntelTablets. Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Intel.

NYFW FALL 2013: Love by Diego Binetti

by

The Show: Love by Diego Binetto

The Theme: Romance and goth styles collide

The Color Palette: Red and black with a touch of grey

The Signature, Standout Look: With Love by Diego Binetti, it’s easy to see the feminine detailing attributes, including ruffles, pleats, and lace, however Binetti incorporates Victorian-inspired and Goth attitudes by using various shades of red and black, asymmetrical structurse and oversized, wrapped and tied garments. Binetti’s creative genius was in full-gear by tackling two very opposing styles and creating a collection that has the right amount of playful and edge and price point, making his amazing aesthetic accessible to all this fall.
