Alexander Wang: RTW Fall 2013.

The always adorable Alexander Wang showed his Ready-to-Wear Fall 2013 collection last week during NYFW. It was a pretty much colorless collection, with mainly black, white, and grey. I feel like he was really excited about furry, flannely things while creating this collection.

Pretty sure this is his first runway debut as Creative Director for Balenciaga. Not sure how I feel about the line though. Some of the pieces are great, like the metallicy see through top below, and the interesting all grey sweat suit, but the furry arm things? What is that? I liked most of the pieces as separates but I couldn't wear many of the things the way Wang paired them on the runway. The shoes are quite interesting though.

What do you think?

Fall 2013 Ready-to-Wear: Gryphon.

Now that Fashion Week is among us, I wanted to keep you guys updated the new collections, both popular and a little more low key. New York based clothing label Gryphon was created with the vision of reinventing the classic trench. Gryphon designer and former Vogue fashion writer Aimee Cho is all about functional yet stylish coats and jackets. Her ready to wear collection for Fall '13 is highlighted with fur, vibrant camo print, and twill accents.

Modeled by Betty Adewole, who is adorable by the way, the collection looks fun, fresh, and very "young, cool adult."  Check out behind the scene footage of the shoot here on their Tumblr.

Alice + Olivia F/ W 2012 Ready to Wear Collection.

Label designer Stacey Bendet creates a collection filled with festive sparkle, floor-length gowns, fun party wear, and bold patterns and furs.

The models are fabulous and  every outfit is ready to wear glory.

I love the little berets too. It's a nice touch.
