This most recent New York Fashion Week came with newly revived trends from the 80’s and early 90’s, complete with accentuated shoulders, off-the-shoulder tops, voluminous silhouettes, and plenty of ruffles. A standout trend from this category though, was the classic power suit, revamped. With the rise of androgyny on the runway over the past few years, this is not a surprising direction for brands to embark upon. Designers like Calvin Klein, Vivienne Tam, and Jason Wu all showed versions of the menswear-inspired suit look, each with its own unique styling.

Amy Smilovic of Tibi included pinstripe blazers in an extra-oversized fit, while more classically tailored pieces in monochromatic styling appeared on the runway at The Row. At Nicole Miller, edgy, grunge inspired suiting was featured in the collection, complimented by graphic embroidery and dark, smudged eye makeup.

Click through the slideshow above to see other designers’ take on the classic style, sure to be a staple once again this coming fall season.

Cropped Tweed Pants Make For a Casual-Cool Office Look (thefind.com Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

From our friends at thefind.com:

While it’s a total bummer to say goodbye to summer, there’s still plenty of reason to celebrate the start of fall… when it comes to trends, that is! Now that the weather is starting to cool down, it’s time to embrace previously taboo textiles like wool – specifically tweed! Cropped tweed trousers may have been totally unwearable during the hotter summer months, but they could easily be your autumn go-to staple for making a chic statement at work that’s still comfortable and effortlessly cool. Pair with some chunky wedge booties for fall or your favorite printed flats, or elongate legs with some pointed toe pumps. These fresh-for-fall styles put a new spin on the traditionally “stuffy” material (so long to stiff jackets and suits!), but when wearing slouchier styles be sure to stay mindful of proportions by pairing with a more tailored or streamlined top to avoid looking sloppy!

Tibi and Diesel Black Gold Spring/Summer 2012 Reviews

by Julia DiNardo

Tibi

Clean, understated, and menswear-inspired was Tibi’s new modus operandi for S/S 2012. The models strutted their stuff to the rock classic “The Destroyer” by The Kinks, with fresh faces and hair pulled back in low, no fuss ponytails. With a color palette of mint greens, mustard, teals, cobalt, and bright yellow, the line shouted spring excitement without the usual signature Tibi-style prints and florals. Designed by Amy Smilovic and styled by blogger Elin Kling, the collection came equipped with long skirts and dresses, and menswear style pants and trousers in flowing chiffon, with the occasional leather accents. It shouted, and resounded effortlessly cool.

Diesel Black Gold

As the program exclaimed, it was “time to reflect” at the Diesel Black Gold ready-to-wear show yesterday at Pier 94. Light and reflection was an integral part of the show, from elements such as the dangling mirrored panels at the runway’s entrance to the glimmering, silver, “not-quite-positive if they’re leather or glass material” many of the pieces possessed. What you were sure of, though, was the essence of utility, beauty, and fluidity that emanated from each piece. Sophia Kokosalaki designed many of the outfits with accents of menswear-inspired sleekness, like clean jackets and crisp tailored shirts, but simultaneously fused them with elements of intense sparkle and light, and movement-seeking fabrics. With additions of hardware and spiked, mirrored pieces, the result was sleek and utilitarian, but attention grabbing and light-catching nonetheless. It was this combination of functionality, originality, and beauty that complimented Diesel’s put together yet undone mantra.

Knee-Length Leather Skirts: a Little ‘Va-Va-Voom’ For The Office! (thefind Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

From our friends at thefind.com:

Since some of us are experiencing a killer heat wave this summer, it can be difficult to even think about the word “leather.” But since the Pre-Fall season is on every active shopper’s mind, it’s time to look forward to autumn’s biggest trends! Leather skirts are bound to be a staple next season, and while it’s no new look for the going out scene, it may surprise you to learn that more demure takes on the leather skirt are invading your future office looks… and yes, they’re classy! By staying mindful of an appropriate length, and choosing an elegant blouse or sweater to inside, leather doesn’t have to be too extreme for the workplace! Infuse a little Joan Holloway into your work routine with a stretchy sheath like this pencil skirt from Vince… but if black is a little too vampy for your taste, switch things up with blush leather or a pop of color like this Tibi skirt. Add movement despite the thick nature of the material with swingy pleats like this one from ASOS, or add visual interest with an exposed zipper and a gathered waist courtesy of Jason Wu. Either way, prepare to look at leather a whole new way!
