We’ve had our rounds of snowfall this New York Fashion Week. Flurries have caught us on our guard on and off the runway. Our screens got fuzzy as we watched busy black and white patterns flurry past. Designers like Alexander Wang, Christian Siriano, Catherine Malandrino and others have already got the buzz, more are likely to follow suit.

The workhorse behind the CFDA, C.E.O. Steven Kolb, lingers momentarily on Diane Von Furstenberg‘s runway post-show, making his way from backstage to the front of house. I overheard him tell another journalist, “I do all the work, Diane takes all the credit. It’s established and out in the open.” It’s quite alright with all parties involved; if he didn’t do the lion’s share of the CFDA workload, when would DVF possibly have time to create a collection and run her powerhouse? That said, on the 50th anniversary of the CFDA, there is much excitement abounds with the relocation of CFDA headquarters, so we got a little nosy.

Ah, that rich citrus scent wafts smokily through New York Fashion Week as many designers are using burnt orange as a carrying color throughout their collections. With varying tones of vibrance, this hue skews dark, often mixed with maroons and deep aqua greens á la Costello Tagliapietra and Band of Outsiders. In a thousand textures and a million ways, expect to see more orange burning to the ground in Fall 2012.

Let it be know Catherine Malandrino is back and in full force. After not showing a spring 2012 collection, I wondered about the fate of the Parisian New Yorker. But it seems the brand is very alive and very well after seeing the Fall/Winter 2012 collection this morning. Fierce and mysterious, the Malandrino woman is a lady by day in cashmere and silk crepe. But by night, a seductive creature of the dark emerges, bound in leather and embellished tulle, wrapped in luxurious fox furs of electric hues. Spring woes undeniably aside, Malandrino may have shown her best collection yet.

For Jason Wu‘s Fall 2012 collection, the designer asked “What is Chinese?” Finding he came up with three different answers to the question, the line was created with the military, the Qing Dynasty and the 1930s/40s Hollywood version of China in mind. After taking in the beautiful embroidery and silk tassels, our eyes move immediately to the floor where the strappy studded leather sandals are waiting for our feet to envy. Check out a few of our favorite pairs in the gallery after the jump.

If you’re not at Lincoln Center this fine Sunday morning-after, you’re likely in your PJs, nursin’ a hangover. If you’re even luckier, you’re still in bed with your scorching hot lover, about to get up and slip into something silkier. Especially with Valentine’s Day creeping up on us, we realize the want and need to look sexy at home. Being at home with your man is the worst excuse to look schleppy – just after the excuse that you’re by yourself. Who are you dressing for? No matter who’s touching you, you deserve to feel silky smooth.
