There are shows that just get the blood flowing and adrenaline pumping with styled looks that you just love to admire. This season, we dubbed this category “electric ladies club” for the overtly feminine, sexy, and distinct styles. Our favorite looks came from three design duos (Cushnie et Ochs, Marchesa, The Blonds), alongside Jen Kao, and the stateside return of our favorite Italian legwear brand, Emilio Cavallini.

Porter Grey’s collection showcased elegance in simplicity and the beauty found in the details. Wool, knit tops mixed with rich, burgundy leather created an endless texture throughout all the looks. Diagonal lines showed an edge in both print and cut-outs. Each piece could stand alone as a work of quality craftsmanship, or function as a foundation for any desired look. The colors were warm, rich, and timeless, making each piece classic and truly ready-to-wear.

Porter Grey created freshness in their beautiful line and achieved a look of effortless sophistication for the modern woman.

Now that New York Fashion Week has drawn to a close, we can look back at some of the major looks, trends, and our overall favorites, and group them accordingly. We gathered together some our ready to wear favorites that can be easily adapted from the runway into your regular wardrobe choices. Richard Chai LOVE hit a home run this season with oversized blazers and bountiful layering in a darker palette, while Nicholas K’s girl is pretty much the coolest chic around, bringing back a strong country western vibe into fashion with 10 gallon styled hats to complete the look.

Walter, Candela, and Timo Weiland know quite well how to work the stylish, casual, and slightly tomboyish appeal.

Nanette Lepore, Milly by Michelle Smith, L.A.M.B., and  Nicole Miller took a straightforward walk back in time to clearly allude to the best of the ’60s and ’70s fashion with a thrown in sense of whimsy and to not take fashion entirely serious. As Nicole Miller aptly notes in the program, “the past plays out in the present.”

Tory Burch stepped out of her comfort zone of 1960 and 1970 inspired boho prints and styles, and has introduced a new contemporary side of her design aesthetic. Ultra feminine looks and beautiful accessories flooded the runway, as lace dresses, embellishments, and peplum tops were paired with leather and tweed in blue, red, forest green, gold, and beige. Tory Burch matched elegance and charm with the right amount of sexy by designing a collection made for function and style. Complimenting the newest collection, the designer did not forget about her most popular accessories. Handbags in leather, tweed, and tortoise designs included popular materials like metal chain link straps.
