nyfw ss13 favorite: calvin klein collection.

Sticking to the roots of Calvin Klein, the Spring collection was full of clean & structured silhouettes. Fransisco Costa managed to reinvent what the modern woman should be wearing... again. There was lots of emphasis on the bust & waist (hello, ladies!), but with a simplicity and taste level that was just right. Sexy, smart, polished. Calvin Klein (known to many in the fashion industry as Mr. Clean) was never much of a print man, but Costa managed to create the illusion of prints with his layering techniques and use of sheer & cut-out material. I'll take one of each look, thanks!

It was nearly impossible for me to pick just 8 looks from this amazing show. I love when a designer tells several mini stories in one presentation, and that's exactly what Mr. de la Renta did for Spring. He kept you guessing what was coming out next, and it was consistently fantastic. Although Oscar typically dresses an uptown lady, the materials (LATEX!), textured embellishments & feathers gave a youthful pop to this collection that was pretty awesome. Speaking of youthful, did you catch his children's show today? Cutest. Thing. Ever.

Tommy Hilfiger stayed true to his preppy roots with his Spring 2013 collection. The collection consisted of mainly smart, time-honored separates given a sporty vibe with bold red, white & blue directional patterns. The man knows what works for his brand and consistently delivers on the runway.  It was classic American fashion reinvented, and I loved it.

Fancy florals, pastels & soft brights, structured Spring coats, lady skirts & crop tops were strutting down the runway at Peter Som. This was one for the girly girls, and I loved it. Plus, there was UNICORN HAIR.

By the way, do you follow Peter Som on Pinterest? Because his boards are insane. Get involved.

Mix & Match.

New York Fashion Week is slowly coming to a close (thank goodness for traffic's sake), and although all of the presentations have been brilliant (more on my faves later), I am always super captivated by the attendees of the shows! Tons of ladies & lads were mixing prints, textures and bright colors. I can't wait to jump on board immediately and combine all of my most ridiculous pieces, super man repeller style.
