Never underestimate the power of an impeccably dressed man, gentlemen, and you will travel far and wide. The Joseph Abboud man knows of this sensibility and has for a very long time. For his first runway show in seven years, creative director Bernardo Rojo looked back to a great era in American design and created his Fall/Winter 2012 collection for a modern version of the 1930s sharp-witted rogue. Once again, men are building themselves from scratch, and they are dressing the part to get there.

One of the most famous Indian restaurants in London, and probably the world, has landed in New York for a limited-time. This past Monday, I headed uptown to Desmond’s to experience a delectable five-course tasting menu from Cinnamon Club, celebrating its 10th anniversary with a popup in NYC. Bulldog gin martinis were followed by five beautiful dishes by executive chef Vivek Singh and copious amounts of wine. Among my favorite bites were bombay spiced vegetables with cumin and truffle ‘pao’ and clove smoked saddle of lamb with onion and ginger sauce. I almost dove into the ginger toffee pudding with cinnamon ice cream face first it was so delicious. Click through to see photos from the experience.

Tiered lace and dropped-waists were the first sights to be seen as models began gliding down the runway in Tadashi Shoji‘s Fall 2012 collection. Silk, chiffon and velvet followed, richly colored in green, red and blue jewel tones. Luc Bouchard and the MAC pro team created a clean, flawless face finished with a bright red lip. Hair was neatly and elegantly pulled into sleek low buns, ensuring nothing overshadowed the opulence of the collection.

Hyden Yoo used debonair dressing and the sometimes overwhelming unattainable beauty of a woman to tell the story behind his Autumn/Winter 2012 collection. Set in a darkly wooded library with vaulted ceilings, models stood in clusters – the men in layers and the women dressed and ready to stay right there in the warmth of the fireplace – looking bored as can be. Though both sexes were polished and narcissistic in demeanor, the men were on a higher pedestal in my eyes.

Pencils down, girls, your time is up. Please pass your exams to the front of the room and try not to step on each other’s wedges as your exit the classroom. In maybe one of the most original presentations I’ve seen during New York Fashion Week, Lauren Moffatt‘s effortlessly chic Fall 2012 line was shown on models writing on the chalkboard, playing with chemistry sets and standing before easels painting a classic still life.
