Thomas Pink Autumn/Winter 2013

Thomas Pink Autumn/Winter 2013 women's collection focuses on restyling and updating the White Shirt, inspired by shirt wearers Mrs. Vreeland, Katharine Hepburn and Mr. Darcy. The buttoned and belted shirt dress is a standout piece, worn at least five ways. 

The men's collection is inspired by the style of British motor racing heroes James Hunt and Jackie Stewart. The colour palette consists of British racing green and classic reds. Shirting highlights include inspiration from Thomas Pink archives of the period, contributing to the creation of constructed weaves and patterns in the Beaufort collection, boldness of the Winchester. Stalwart duffel coats, waxed cotton jackets, British woven silk ties and Scottish cashmere accessories complete the look.

FrontRow by Shateria Moragne-el Autumn / Winter 2013

FrontRow by Shateria Moragne-el Autumn / Winter 2013 show was held at the Metropolitan Pavillion during STYLE360's semi-annual New York Fashion Week showcase. Shateria's collection titled C.R.E.A.M., describes the texture and the softness of the materials she came across upon her travels.  

The collection centers around sporty-lux leather pieces, from motorcycle jackets and jeans to sweatpants and ribbed sweatshirts. My favorite looks include the fox fur vest paired with red leather high waist slacks and long sleeve t-shirt, black leather peplum top with mini skirt and the red leather bomber jacket with fox fur collar.

Christian Siriano Autumn/Winter 2013

Christian Siriano Autumn/Winter 2013 is inspired by the golden age of the Russian Opera, and the lavish interiors of Saint Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre. The jewel-toned collection is glamorous and opulent in  embossed jacquards, stretch brocades and beaded metallics, with filigree embroidery and antique chevron sequin detailing. 

The Christian Siriano for Payless Gold collection is regal and royal with an 1880s influence, featuring pumps with an exaggerated heel shape and hammered gold metal ornament and crystal ball ring details, a platform ankle strap, a military-esque bootie and an over-the-knee tall boot with military-inspired lacing hook details among the twelve styles seen on the runway.

Mara Hoffman Autumn/Winter 2013

For Autumn/Winter 2013, Mara Hoffman takes us on a journey with a traveling circus filled with "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves," complete with unique detailing, embellishments and vibrant Caravan, Phoenix, Leopard Trickster and Suzani prints. My favorite of the prints, Midnight Caravan, a colorful grid of elephants and peacocks, is featured on a chiffon blouse and jersey cutout dress. The Suzani print is inspired by the traditional tribal textile from Central Asian countries, with the Poppy Suzani mixed with yellow, white and green.

The collection features leather tops and pants, chunky knits and intarsia sweaters as well as mini dresses and gowns. There is also cutout detailing and embroidered pieces with metal beading.
