NY Fashion Week Highlights: Thakoon, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Yigal Azrouel, Diane von Furstenberg, Tracy Reese

Hiya everybody! It's been a whirlwind week and I had the pleasure of attending the Fashion 2.0 Social Media Awards last night in SoHo. I met so many great fellow bloggers, fashion entrepreneurs, and the DKNY social media/PR gang which took home awards in almost every category including best Twitter account! Note to self: Check out DKNY's Twitter account...Back to the fashion at hand, here are some pieces I loved from collections that have flown down the runway at Fashion Week, and do note the fortuitous use of color for next Fall, especially blues and greens!

CFDA Award Winners Plus Red Carpet Photos

The Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards (CFDA's) took place on Monday night in New York City where designers, celebrities, models, and fashion muses milled about under one fashionably laid back roof to celebrate the talented winners: Marc Jacobs received the coveted Womenswear Designer of the Year award, Marcus Wainwright and David Neville of Rag & Bone won Menswear Designer of the Year, and Alexis Bittar took home Accessory Designer of the Year. And finally, the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Michael Kors for 29 golden years in the fashion industry. And now for the Fashion!! A lot of neutrals, a LOT of black, and a sprinkling of patterns:
Marc Jacobs and Jessica Biel (whose Diane von Furstenberg dress is better suited....for some place else...)
