The Show: J.Mendel

The Theme: Serge Gainsbourg’s song “Cargo Culte”

The Color Palette: Pastel Peach, Yellow, Light Grey, Cream

The Signature Look of the Collection: Designer Gilles Mendel’s lady this season is truly the epitome of Parisian chic; a phrase that I use sparingly, and dusted off solely for this show, this season. Everything that a woman would strive to exude when it comes to communicating through clothing — stylish, sensual, and incredibly polished, is all evident in this collection. Peek-a-boo lace, carefully inlaid into the garments, organza, jacquard, and even geometric shaping pay homage to traditional pieces with expressively modern updates. One of the most memorable lineups for spring, expect iterations of Mendel’s designs to grace every store, from high to low, come spring (or sooner!).

The Show: Brandon Sun Spring/Summer 2014

The Theme: “Feudal Japan’s Samurai Women”

The Color Palette: Shades of Gray, White, Green, Orange, Pink, Red and Black

The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: Simple yet unexpected, Sun’s Black Leather and Voile Camisole Shoji dress is breathtaking. Laser cut and entirely made of leather, this little black dress speaks wonders to the growth and innovation produced with every season of Fashion Week. The shape of the garment is not only flattering but shocking and show stopping as well. The embroidered  waistline takes the dress away from the ‘shift’ look while remaining effortlessly fabulous. The laser cut style on a widely worn look such as an LBD really speaks to Sun’s idea of finding contradiction within balance. This little black dress brings edge along with a (literal) tough exterior to a glamorous essential.

The Show: Lela Rose

The Theme: Clean Shapes + Quirky Geometry

The Color Palette: Light Blue, Pink, Citrine, White

The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: Lela Rose’s Spring 2014 collection drew inspiration from industrial designer Arne Jacobsen and mid-century modern furniture. Full of geometric shapes and mixed materials such as silk, tweed and jacquard fabrics, the standout look was definitely a voluminous silk top with matching skirt that was painted in a way to look abstract and water stained, yet the floral pattern felt at home, and at once retro and modern in one fell swoop.

The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: Using fabrics such as seersucker and cotton, coupled vast color palette, Binetti panned over various cultures, as well as sensations. A standout look, combining tough with femininity, was a white chiffon off-the-shoulder kaftan with a faded tiger print.

The Show: Rebecca Taylor

The Theme: Sporty & Flirty

The Color Palette: Pastels, White

The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: The venue’s white walls and wooden floors were the perfect backdrop for the soft pastels and floral prints of Rebecca Taylor’s Spring 2014 collection. Keeping patterns to a minimum, the beauty was found in the simplicity of it all. Roomy, boxy cuts and lots of layers were integral to the lineup, while the standout look had to be this great floral suit, which combined masculine, tomboy elements with an extremely soft and feminine balance.

The Show: Hache

The Theme: Country Rock of the ‘50s with New York’s Punk Scene of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s

The Color Palette: Red, Blue, Black, White, Light Pink

The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: With a motif of country rock combo’ed with punk, Manuela Arcari has created a collection that relies on the Spring 2014 layer trend. Some of the most important looks included washed out leather softened over baby blue lightweight fabrics in loose silhouettes. Belts were big in this collection in order to give way to the ‘50s inspired dresses, while the light neutrals, popular from the ‘50s, collided perfectly with the gritty, tarnished looks of the punk scene.
