NY Fashion Week :: Sachin + Babi RTW Fall 2012

A few of our favorite looks from the runway at Sachin + Babi:

Read what Style.com is saying about the collection:

Sachin and Babi Ahluwalia staged their first runway show today, a major moment for the husband-and-wife design duo (not to mention a nice way to spend Valentine's Day together). After seeing the first few looks in motion on the catwalk, it became clear that this season was not only an upgrade for Sachin + Babi's presentation format, but also for the clothing itself. 

Backstage after the finale, Sachin explained that for Fall, they wondered, "What would a love child between between Jim Morrison and Kate Beckinsale look like? And more importantly, how would she dress?" So needless to say there was a lot of leather here. "But she isn't a tough girl with this hard exterior," Babi clarified. "We wanted to show the more delicate side of leather."      To read more visit Style.com.

NY Fashion Week :: Rachel Roy Fall 2012

A few of our favorite looks from the runway at Rachel Roy:

Read what Style.com is saying about the collection:

Rachel Roy has been preoccupied with modern landscapes after watching an independent documentary called Women in the Dirt, which spotlights eight female architects who have designed groundbreaking outdoor spaces that blur the line between nature and the man-made. With this in mind, Roy balanced linear silhouettes with an organic palette of granite, eucalyptus, sapphire, "foliage" orange, and garnet.     To read more visit Style.com.

NY Fashion Week :: Erin Fetherston Fall 2012

A few of our favorite looks from the runway at Erin Fetherston:

Read what Style.com is saying about the collection:

To mark the one-year anniversary of launching her lower-priced, more accessible ERIN line, Erin Fetherston whisked us away to an enchanted forest where a harpist (in one of the designer's gowns, of course) greeted guests at her Fall presentation. While such sweet whimsy is almost to be expected of the designer, the pieces on display tonight proved that she is indeed exploring new territory.
Inspired by the work of artist Barry Underwood, Fetherston described her collection as a "new-age fairy tale."

Certainly, there was the expected sea of ethereal party dresses embellished with everything from bugle beads to metallic snowflakes. But the designer went a few steps further, showing voluminous skirts and structured frocks, knits, and printed separates that recalled Underwood's images of nature illuminated by neon light.  To read more visit Style.com.

NY Fashion Week :: Zero + Maria Cornejo RTW Fall 2012

A few of our favorite looks from the runway at Zero + Maria Cornejo:

Read what Style.com is saying about the collection:

It's not surprising that Maria Cornejo returns to the theme of identity in her collection. Her personal history crisscrosses the globe, and even as the brand grows, there remains something quite intimate about it. Her designs are tied to her own wardrobe, and even her prints are usually based on quick snapshots on her iPhone, like abstracted postcards from her life. Having recently gotten her American citizenship, Cornejo found herself pondering her journey once more.
This idea of plumbing her past to push into the future isn't so different to what Cornejo does each season, refining the codes she's created while offering her faithful fan club something new to love. Here, for instance, the fluttery bright silk of her signature dresses evolved into blouses tucked into narrow, longish skirts. Another nice leap: splitting it into a matching top and skirt, which made for a highly appealing casual take on evening. To read more visit Style.com.

NY Fashion Week :: Derek Lam Fall 2012

Enjoy a little "Behind-The-Scenes" video shot by Sherri at the Derek Lam show!

A few of our favorite looks from the runway:

Read what Style.com is saying about the collection:

"Thoughtful, quiet, a little more sober," is how Derek Lam described his new collection. Lam's show had a sixties vibe that went beyond the bouffant hairdos and smoky cat eyes. Ruby Aldridge's white peacoat, poplin shirt, V-neck, and full black skirt conjured visions of some quirky coed, only in real life her jacket probably wasn't shearling, the sweater wouldn't have been cashmere, and the skirt most definitely wasn't black patent. As always, there was great outerwear here, but Lam de-emphasized fur in favor of down, cutting a jacket and vest in neat, trim shapes.When it came time for the final passage of eveningwear, we were firmly in the present. Only a high-tech mill could pull off those Aran sweaters made from twisted nylon tulle, and only a modern-thinking designer would pair them with long chiffon skirts trailing trains.To read more visit Style.com.

NY Fashion Week :: Doo.Ri Fall 2012

Enjoy a little "Behind-The-Scenes" video shot by Sherri at the Doo.Ri show!

The program from Doo.Ri show

A few of our favorite looks from the runway:

Read what Style.com is saying about the collection:

"Doo.Ri" and "draping" are virtually synonymous at this point, whether Doo-Ri Chung likes it or not. For the past few seasons, the designer has been kicking against her reputation as New York's draper extraordinaire and emphasizing her collections' tailoring and knits. Today, however, Chung came home to herself, helped along by the inspiration of Butoh dance and its poetry of motion. This collection boasted some of her strongest draped silhouettes in a while, notably the twist-top blouses and dresses. Here and elsewhere, necks were high, which gave the form-fitting silhouettes an air of barely suppressed sexiness. A sleeveless ink-blue wrap dress with a twist top, for instance, came off like something Halston might have produced after a stint at a Buddhist monastery.
