Once again, Donatella has revisited the Versace archives and put her own spin on things. Cutouts, bedazzling and eye-catching prints rendered in mostly body-conscious silhouettes with a decent amount of skin showing. It’s Biker Barbie with a rather juvenile motif of sparkly...

Full disclosure: Althea Harper is one of our favorite Project Runway alums. Sure, she’s stunning in person and a lot of fun to chat with at a party, but she’s also one hard-working girl who knows fashion better than her appearance on the show let on. We’ve always tried to...

  Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana announced that this would be the last D&G collection, and they apparently decided to go out with a bright and bold bang. The collection was designed using colorful scarves from the label in polka dot, medallion, floral, stripes, and butterfly...

Burberry is continuing the spring 2012 trend of tribal-inspired influences in a range of autumnal colors. Some of the prints are a bit much, especially in the flouncey skirts, but the rich, textural feel of this collection makes us want to reach out and touch the pieces. The more angular,...

    Citing references and inspirations as broad as Afro-Brazilian culture and virtual reality, the Carlos Miele Spring 2012 collection aimed for ” a dialogue between artificial and natural, modified beauty and organic.” The focus is on fluid lines, bright colors and bold...

This was our very first chance to attend a Chado Ralph Rucci show and we felt like we were entering a cathedral, so excited were we by the opportunity. Sure, there’s always the Fashion Week fun of spotting celebs like Martha Stewart and Whoopi Goldberg in the front row, but the real...

Darlings, these two bloggers still have a ton of New York Fashion Week collections to bring to you, but we’re feeling the siren call of London across the Atlantic and we simply must start featuring the collections walking down runways across the pond. We always eagerly await Mary...

Just so you know, Lorenzo damn near wept when he saw the above suit. Darlings, here’s your pretty for the day – and we don’t mean the young men walking the runway. We mean the Simon Spurr spring 2012 collection, a gorgeous set of sleek and chic menswear looks with an English...

It’s always fun to try and guess ahead of time where the latest Marc Jacobs collection is going to pull its references from and what time and place in history it will evoke. Depression-Era country girl moves to the big city:  rural-inspired looks with a ’20s feel evolving into...

There’s a simple boldness to Monique Lhuillier’s spring 2012 collection that we really enjoyed. Her program notes informed us that she was inspired by athletic women and highlighted that with color-blocking and very body-oriented silhouettes. Keeping the color palette to mostly...

We loved the boho-chic minimalism of this collection; the cool whites and taupes making way for the goldenrod and dusty blues and greens that appear to be among the less-often-referenced trend colors for spring. We also loved the loose silhouettes characterized by the slouchy coats and...

It’s hard to strike that balance between luxury and minimalism and it’s even harder to impress two bitches like us when the attempt is made, but the Tibi spring collection offered a chic, pared-down series of looks that were sporty, colorful, and rich, with a little personality to...

The world of fashion has a fairly well-deserved reputation for taking itself a bit too seriously, so it was something of a respite to leave the tents at Lincoln Center for a bit, head downtown, and have a couple cocktails while wandering around the Gant presentation. The mood, like the...

For spring, Michael Kors wants to take us all on safari. And if we get to wear clothes like this, we might even be willing to put up with the snakes and the bugs the size of our iPhones. It’s safari filtered through a luxury lens. Gorgeous, rich, earthy shades of brown and green,...

Darlings, you know how we always say “Here’s your pretty for the day?” Well, here’s your pretty for the month. With Oscar de la Renta, it’s all-pretty, all the time. If there’s such a thing as aggressively pretty, than this collection is it. Oscar’s...

The notes for this show informed us that Donna Karan took her inspiration for this collection from her travels to Haiti, which she interpreted in her own way, offering up tribal-inspired prints, colors, and jewelry with an urban, modern twist. We love the natural, earthy tones of this...

Thank God for the menswear shows. We will always be the type of queen who can wax rhapsodic about a dramatic gown stomping down a runway, but sometimes, a boy just needs to look at cute boys in boy clothes. Especially if a boy (or boys) covets practically every piece those cute boys are...

Darlings, come gawk at celebrities with us. Courtney Love at Alexander Wang Spring 2012 Show That’s actually a pretty sharp look. It doesn’t fit her correctly and we can’t imagine wearing leather gloves in this weather, but the girl brought it as best she can. Lea Michele at...

What an experience the Nicole Miller show was. Not only did we get to sit in the front row, thanks to a concerted effort to support fashion bloggers, but we got to go backstage and meet Nicole herself and tell her what we think. And what did we think? We were blown away. When you think of...

We think it’s fair to say that we’ve slung our share of criticism Christian’s way, but for the first time, we have nothing but praise for him. We feel that this collection represents a major step forward for him as a designer. It’s the most modern and chic collection...

Opening the doors of the venue to provide the quintessentially New York backdrop of a yellow cab bearing a DKNY logo and closing the show with “American Woman” playing, the DKNY show, held on the afternoon of September 11th, was equal parts NYC defiance and patriotism. “We...
