New York Fashion Week Spring 2012

Chris Benz

Hello there! It has been a good few days but I am back in New York after spending a long and amazing weekend at the Toronto International Film Festival where I discovered the wonders of a new bustling city, and where I was so warmly welcomed as a guest at the screening for the powerful film In Darkness, directed by Oscar nominee Agnieszka Holland. Make sure to see the film as soon as it comes to a theater/film festival near you! In the meantime, it has also been a bustling week here in New York City with the fashion swirl of the Spring/Summer 2012 (didn't we just finish summer 2011??) runway collections being shown at Lincoln Center and all over the city. There were loads of prints and graphics, and here are some of my favorite looks of the last week:

Alexander Wang

Tory Burch

Carolina Herrera

Derek Lam

Zac Posen

Prabal Gurung

Callula Lillibelle

Marc by Marc Jacobs

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!

Booted Up For Fall

If I had a spare $3,000 conveniently (and discreetly) located in the safety box of my bosom, I would snatch up each of these absolutely gorgeous booties for Fall. Since I don't I'll just have to be content ogling them from my computer screen.....
