The Show: Marissa Webb Spring 2013
The Theme: Lady-like with an edge
The Color Palette: Stark whites, ivory, and black leather were brightened by teal batik prints, pops of neon,
vibrant red, and turquoise sequins.
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: Marissa Webb’s highly anticipated first collection did not disappoint. The former J.Crew designer showed lady-like pieces with the requisite amount of cool-girl edge.
An army green blazer muted a highlighter-yellow sequin ensemble, complete with a neon necktie. A feminine bow blouse in vibrant red was paired with cigarette jeans in the same flame hue and black leather accessories. Another favorite look combined a turquoise sequin shell and leather leggings. The looks were the perfect balance of tailored and edgy, and the shoes were the perfect accessories in shades of violet, flame, and neon. Swoon.

The Show: General Idea Men’s RTW Spring 2013
The Theme: The Last Lumberjack
The Color Palette: Neutral colors, camo prints and plenty of neon accents
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: General Idea constructed an energetic collection that still maintained a tough, rugged image. Outdoor gear like windbreakers, puffy vests and boat shoes were made current with neon accents and razor sharp cuts. The standout look, seen above, was a camo jacket layered over both an athletic navy windbreaker and a more classic pinstriped shirt. Complimented with lime lace up oxfords and an orange knit beanie, this look proved just how with-it menswear can be.

The Show: Erin Barr Spring 2013 Presentation
The Theme: Women in the late 50s
The Color Palette: Black, white, grey and red
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: A late 50s themed living room set the tone for the classic, chic collection. Models lounged around in elegant, sophisticated dresses and voguish pant suits. The horizontal red and black striped fabric felt both smart and swanky against the other white, slim dresses and black leather cut-out pieces. The standout pieces were the skin-showing, perfectly body-conscious gowns.

The Show: Mara Hoffman Spring 2013 Collection
The Theme: Palm leaves and bright prints complimented on-trend shapes found in New York designer Mara Hoffman’s pieces this season. Island music opened the show with ukeleles serenading the crowd and taking the crowd to a retro and elegant Hawaii. Pops of color via red jersey dresses and swimsuits transported the show from the muggy sidewalks of New York City to the sunny and peaceful beach shore.
The Color/Palette: Inspired by nature, world travel, and fantasy in paradise, expect a collection that mixes coral, navy prints, magenta, and turquoise.
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: While all 33 looks were fabulous and completely wearable, three gowns were the collection’s best: an Aloha stone cut out chiffon gown, a coral shields gown, and a turquoise shields gown.
