The Show: Katie Gallagher Spring 2013

The Theme: Everything Forever- an ode to the remnants of our past, ingrained in us and ever-present

The Color Palette: A decidedly minimalistic  color palette comprised of ivory, creme, raven, and metallic slate.

Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: Gallagher’s Everything Forever featured form-fitting silhouettes of luscious lambskin and kangaroo leather separates, high neck halter dresses and stylish peplums.  Draping was present in most of the shapes, along with sheer fabrics, reinforcing the demure femininity that this collection was inspired by.

The Show: CZAR by Cesar Galindo Spring/Summer 2013 Runway Show

The Theme: What A Woman Wants

The Color Palette: Bright, bold hues of citrus colors: raspberry, tangerine, chartreuse, azure, and persimmon along with neutral naturals of stone, sand and noir

Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: With every model that came down the runway, a new option of feminine dressing arose.  Beautiful draping and interesting hemlines dominated the pieces in Galindo’s Spring/Summer collection and smart, easy to wear shapes like trapeze and maxi dresses made these items desirable to any woman.  Luscious iridescent twill separates were the ideal compliment to the soft silhouettes in the line.  Sequins and shine also had their time in the spotlight, matched up with sophisticated brocades and natural prints.  No matter what a woman may want from fashion, CZAR by Cesar Galindo can deliver it to her.

Charlotte Ronson Spring 2013 Collection

The Show: Charlotte Ronson Spring 2013
The Theme:  Working 9-5
The Color Palette: Cobalts, cream, black, floral
Best/Signature Look of the Collection: Ronson’s girl, while maintaining her roots as casual yet assertive, put together and slightly sporty still remains, a bit of sweetness is replaced with some sophistication and mischief via leather on leather pieces, bralette and midriff tops, and see-through fabrics. Ronson still designs for the every day aesthetic, although this season showed a bit more interest  and willingness to transition looks into the work day, instead of emulating a laid-back college lifestyle and Sunday brunch afternoons filled with nothing better than an endless barrage mimosas.

The Show: Chado Ralph Rucci

The Theme: Bright, sleek, couture, and modern

The Color Palette: White and black accented with shocking pink, chrome yellow, coral, and grass green.

Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: The combination of bold colors and precise cuts made the entire collection extremely powerful and defining of a new take on Rucci’s signature aesthetic. Printed silk, wool suits and suede dresses were embellished with razor cut-outs, beading and feathers. The highlight of the collection was a black wool crepe suit with razor cut-outs. What made this look exceptional was the braided neon piping along the left sleeve. The detailing was original and the quality craftsman ship was impeccable and  evident.

The Show: Emerson

The Theme: ’70s punk with a modern and feminine twist

The Color Palette: Black, white, electric blue, bright red, neon orange, and purple

Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: Inspired by horror films from the 1970s, Emerson’s spring 2013 collection displayed edgy looks, including angled, draped dresses, leather varsity jackets, red velvet tulle and nylon and metal blends. The harshness of leather, studs and fishnets was complimented with long, flowing dresses and skirts and feminine, printed silks. The standout look of the show was a printed silk dress with leather accents and a black nylon skirt. It was paired with polka dot, knee-high nylon stockings and black and white strap wedges.

The Show: Orla Kiely

The Theme: Summer in the ’60s

The Color Palette:

Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: The collection was presented as a short film, which was viewed out of a fittingly printed trailor set-up in the back of Orla Kiely’s SoHo store. The prints and cuts of every outfit brought nostalgia for summer vacations and trips to Palm Springs. The cropped trousers, boatneck dresses, Peter Pan collars, and floral and nautical prints exuded vintage awareness. A favorite piece was a red leather romper with long sleeves, gold buttons, and a plunging neckline. The cut was extremely unique while the color was assertive and commanding.
