Color-blocking was the central  theme at Milly by Michelle Smith’s Fall 2011 collection.  The colors were vibrant and cheerful in tangerine, orange, fuchsia, green and purple.  These pieces were so gorgeous, we will be counting down the days to autumn.  I loved how the jackets were cut away from the body, and the sleeve lengths fell at the elbows.  The designer added bold prints in subtle colors, and they worked well alongside the vivid pi

Bibhu Mohapatra brought us furs and jewel-tones for Fall 2011

The daywear pieces were asymmetrical, with beautiful angles

A mix of crochet and fur made this black-and-white beauty a stand-out.

This sophisticated print was cut at an angle to give it edge, as did the leather glove and silver cuff.

Here we have luxury, elegance and wearability all in one look.

The designer, Bibhu Mohapatra showcases his collection to fashion buyers and editors.

Yigal Azrouel made chic outerwear the centerpiece of his Fall 2011 collection.  There were coats, jackets and vests up-and-down the catwalk.  We saw great tailoring in the pieces which is a hallmark of strength and power.  The layering came courtesy of the styling team who expertly paired neutrals with vivid color to make the looks come alive.  His collection offers a balanced wardrobe with personality for the career executive for both the office and social hours.  This power woman pairs leather pants with a structured jacket and coat for a stylish day of business.

Beadwork, feathers and prints took center stage at Naeem Khan’s Fall 2011 show.  A bevy of beautiful gowns and cocktail dresses went down that runway.  Some of the dresses were fully embellished and they dazzled brilliantly as diamond jewelry.  The fingerprints of his Indian-American culture was present in the richness of the fabrics and stunning beadwork.  A one-shoulder print dress with expert draping was the standout in the show.  This collection was opulent and luxurious, it was everything we would expect Naeem Khan to deliver.

Beautifully textured, red carpet ready gowns were the story at Monique Lhuillier’s Fall 2011 runway show.  Some had voluminous skirts rich with details and fitted bodices.  A gorgeous leopard print dress had a bodyhugging fit, and fell into a mermaid hemline.  This collection was visually decadent, and a pleasure to see on the catwalk.  It will definitely be a favorite for young Hollywood starlets.

Donna Karan New York was all about glamour, glamour and more glamour for Fall 2011.  This collection gave us luxury from start to finish.  The styling was exquisite with furs, gloves and pearls and they all spelled refinement.  Let’s not forget the hair perfectly coiffed in a  bun up high.  It was the best of Old Hollywood.  Those gowns were made to walk the red carpet, they had gorgeous beadwork and a heavenly flow as they came down the runway.  We look forward to seeing them at the Oscars.

Tibi offered a mix of coats and outerwear for the Fall 2011 season, but it was the pretty dresses that captured my imagination.  Beautiful party dresses in colors like red, white and teal came down this catwalk.  Some had great prints while others were adorned with gorgeous appliques.  Tibi had cocktail dresses covered for the younger set.  One look was a white tuxedo jacket paired with black skinny pants would be a great alternative for a special evening out.  It was all about being pretty and polished this season at this show.
