Zac Posen - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
The dress appears to be falling off her shoulder a little, but in person when she went around that room at the Plaza, it was fairly swoony. Great fashion show fodder -- I know Alexander Wang street-style edgy blah blah blah, but sometimes you just want to watch a bunch of big ol' dresses.

She's like, "Yeah, I'm awesome. You heard right."

Crystal Renn also worked it. She reminds me of Rachel Weisz a little bit. But I could never see Rachel Weisz in this unless she were MAYBE at Cannes. SOMEBODY should wear this in Cannes. It's a total Cannes dress.

Alek Wek is the best. This is lovely, too.

This model COULD NOT WALK in this and I don't know if its her -- she is not our favorite of his regulars -- or the gown. But it was all baby steps.
Zac Posen - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
Hmm. I'm shaking my head a wee.
Zac Posen - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
There's been a lot of black-on-yellow and I'm not sure how well I think it actually works -- in a lot of executions it screams at me, and I think that's sometimes due to the particulars of the fabric, the shade, and the level of detail. This one, I don't think I mind.
Lela Rose - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
This one I think is nice too, because of the amount of detail.
Lela Rose - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
But this one isn't doing it for me.

This dress didn't photograph as well as I'd hoped -- the dress texture is grosgrain, whch is quite neat, and looked good under the lights and in motion. But it's flat here.
Lela Rose - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
As soon as this model came out, I thought, "Vanessa Hudgens."

Patterns are fun.

I liked Posh's more geometric take on black and yellow.

Tell me this woman isn't working hard on her collection. She looks like she hasn't slept in two days.
Victoria Beckham - Presentation - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
It was a bit somber in parts, though...

But that blue is amazing.
Pamella Roland- Runway RTW- Fall 2013- New York
This is one of those gowns that's divine on a runway, but in real life would look insane, like a zoo creature had escaped and fed on her shoulder.
Carolina Herrera - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
Karlie Kloss is also a total boss on the runway. She opened the show in this, and totally sold it.
Carolina Herrera - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
Let's see, who might wear a color combination this strong. Julianna Margulies?
Carolina Herrera - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
However, this is crazy, because something about the front just does NOT flatter. Obviously J.Lo needs one in three colors.
Carolina Herrera - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
I mean, RIGHT? Lopez for the yay.
Tommy Hilfiger Women's - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
Tommy's show was chock full of coats.

He really awakens a prepster side I didn't realize I had.

It's too bad Blair Waldorf didn't intern with him before she started either of her stupid clothing lines, but particularly the "school uniform" one.

This is TOTALLY Tommy Hilfiger Outfits An Enid Blyton Boarding School.

Like sands through the necklaceglass...
Tracy Reese - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
Guys, we've JUST gotten past people treating dogs as accessories. Can we leave cats alone?
DKNY Women's - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
I love this pattern in smaller doses -- Shay Mitchell was wearing a skirt made of it with a black shirt and leather jacket, and it was the perfect hit of color. The shoes are also totally cute.
Derek Lam - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
But... how is she supposed to reach her smartphone without arm holes?
Derek Lam - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
Just what I need: wearable Elmo.
Derek Lam - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
Nuns are the jam.
Christian Siriano - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
I laughed when this came out. But not in a mean way. As I said before, fashion can take itself too seriously, and sometimes you just want to see some crazy drama walking around in front of you. A tulle cape fits the bill nicely.
Christian Siriano - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
The top of this reminds me of what Michelle Dockery wore to the Globes. The bottom, obviously, does not. Lady Mary hasn't taken us to Thightown yet.
Christian Siriano - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
Shailene Woodley seemed to love this. Presumably lined, as Shailene has not taken us to Underboob City yet.
Christian Siriano - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
This is insane. It made for a very dramatic finale, obviously, but HA. I mean, wherever Samantha Jones is, she's buying one of these.
Christian Siriano - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
Attack of the models.
Libertine - Runway - Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
That is maybe not the word I was going to use.
