NYC Spring 2013 Fashion Picks

As fall is just starting to hit here in Minnesota, NYC was looking to Spring 2013 with top designers presenting their upcoming lines. I honestly wasn't fully in love with any look. Maybe my mind is too firmly entrenched in fall to think about spring right now. Regardless, here are my top picks:

My New York Fashion Week Top Picks

A fashion blogger, I am not, but I'm still fascinated by fashion, its impact on our culture and our current cultures impact on fashion. Here are some of my top picks from this week:

Calvin Klein from InStyle

Ralph Lauren wiped the floor with Calvin Klein, in my very humble opinion. Check it out:

How Gatsby of you Ralph Lauren! from InStyle

Love! Ralph Lauren from InStyle

Ralph Lauren's collection had a Gatsby feel, but also included menswear-inspired fabrics and cuts, black velvet, gold, fuschia satin and deep purple velvet. It was very rich, very fall and very chic.

Oooh, Cupid! Marchesa from InStyle

How apropo that Marchesa's line included several ethereal pieces that said "Cupid" to me. I loved the soft look they had.

Michael Kors from InStyle

Michael Kors from InStyle

Oooh! More plaids and unusual combinations from Michael Kors.

Sweet & Sexy~Oscar de la Renta
from InStyle

The cut, the flare: I love it all!
DKNY from InStyle

Power Woman! Jason Wu from InStyle

For fall 2012, I'll be on the lookout for black, black leather, lace, some feathers, menswear fabrics and cigarette pants. I don't think I've ever been more excited for a new season.
