Sachin + Babi – Fall 2012 – The Soft Parade February 23, 2012
Leather dresses, pants, and jackets of the Sachin + Babi Fall 2012 collection rolled out to a remix of “Rapture” by mid-1970s band Blondie, setting the tone for a fast-paced show. The contrast of hard, embellished leather with flowing chiffon created edgy but not overpowering looks that flattered the female form with the use of architectural silhouettes. […]
Carmen Marc Valvo – Fall 2012 – Dressed To Perfection February 23, 2012
The Carmen Marc Valvo Fall 2012 collection is inspired by the Femme Fatales of Old Hollywood, tough cookies like Lauren Bacall, Barbara Stanwyck and Veronica Lake. These ladies were smart and beautiful and never needed to play coy. You see this attitude within the Carmen Marc Valvo Fall 2012 Collection. For years, designers have looked to film noir for inspi […]
Rachel Roy – Fall 2012 – The Good Earth February 22, 2012
Rachel Roy likes to mine a good inspiration. For her Fall 2012 collection, Mrs. Roy was smitten with a film about women landscape architects and what their unique senses and approaches brought to their art.

Like her past seasons, these outfits are consciously based on the classic American styles of that period, worn by women such as Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Onassis. Ms. Devon modernizes this style through the use of bold pattern […]
Abigail Stewart – Fall 2012 – Fair Bones February 20, 2012
At her first show, designer Abigail Stewart worked a creative writing background and magical sense of imagination to her advantage as she presented her Fall 2012 collection, which was enchantingly haunting. Picking up her talents by way of her master-weaving mother, who always helps construct the hand-made fabrics, Stewart used silk and satin-faced organzas, […]
Bibhu Mohapatra – Fall 2012 – The Veteran Rookie February 20, 2012
The leap from presentation to runway can be tricky for emerging designers. Those required extra few looks can be a surprising trap that catches many less experienced designers unaware. Bibhu Mohapatra may be considered by many to an emerging designer, but in terms of runway shows, as we say in New York City, not so much. In his nine years as design director […]
