The Show: Cushnie Et Ochs Fall 2013
The Theme: Pilgrims and Witches
The Color Palette: White, black, dark green, and grey
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: The design duo most well known for their body conscious dresses decided to travel into the woods for fall and presented looks that were polished and sleek. A fox fur jacket paired with a crisp white dress encapsulated the wintry whites while an array of dresses in forest green featured more modest versions of the brand’s signature cutouts. An eye catching piece amidst the monochromatic cast of colors was a silk dress with a print of sunlight peeping through the branches of trees in a wood. If anyone should happen to get lost in the woods, these are the clothes that they would certainly want to find there.
The Show: Parkchoonmoo Fall 2013
The Theme: Winter frost
The Color Palette: Black, white, and blue
The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: Parkchoonmoo’s ready-to-wear collection for fall will keep people looking sleek and confident if they happen to find themselves visiting an arctic tundra. Black padded sweatshirts, white turtlenecks and tailored leather separates made the model’s look as cool as the weather was during the recent blizzard in New York. Images of glaciers were printed on a few of the shirts as a nod to the collection’s inspiration of a winter landscape. One particular look that stood out was a black satin dress that looked as though a small blanket was tied around the model’s shoulders, coming together in a knot at the front. Knits came into play with oversized ivory turtlenecks and cozy sweaters in the same shade.
