Four words have damn near killed all sexiness on the runway: Downton Abbey. Mad Men. Actually, pattern mashing on hip padding with funny furry hats hasn’t helped. A barrage of wildly cool man-repelling looks sauntered down Fall 2012 runways, but sexy was rather difficult to locate. A straight man, who shall remain nameless, and I went through thousands of photos. Through a sea of “Eww”s and “Ugh”s and “I’d fire that designer”s, we found a handful of looks that qualify as sexy. Keep in mind, we mean sexy, not slutty, so all boob-bearing, thigh rising, skin tightening looks were overlooked. We’ll take curves that these designers presented, thank you. And while this Fall’s sexiest looks might not get your panties wet, they may just get your britches in a twist.

Style icon Iris Apfel, budding designer & Eco Domani winner Titania Inglis, and front row celeb staple Kristin Chenoweth and stunning others let us peek inside their imagination at whose wardrobe they’d go all Winona Ryder on. Who wants in on Tom Ford‘s dressing suite? Who’d take on Daphne Guinness? Take a look.

Decked out in leather, fur and head-to-toe animal print, Monika Sawicka stars in “Upper Wildside” for Tush Magazine‘s issue #28. Expertly captured by photographer Txema Yeste, black and white pictures deliver sullen cheekbones for miles in and a blurred line of where garments end and city begins. Bernat Buscato set the mood with Valentino, Burberry Prorsum and J. Mendel, some sheer enough to read a runny newspaper. The drama would be less without striking hair by Akki Shirakawa and nearly skeletal makeup by Tyron Machhausen.

Kristen Stewart stepped out on the red carpet last night for the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 in a sequined J. Mendel Spring 2012 gown. Although she was working that thigh high slit, her makeup was a little too heavy for the event. It’s a good thing Fekkai Celebrity Stylist Adir Abergel was able to tame her typically messy, matted-down mane. See how to get the look after the jump.

Richard Guaty was doing double-duty for FashionIndie and our sister site Lookbooks during Fashion Week: getting yelled at by Lindsay Lohan; sneaking backstage and getting yelled at by producers; missing deadlines and getting yelled at by me. In short, he put in werq. But the results are more than worth it! Check out some of the amazing shots Richard captured around town:

Ever since Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week moved from the tents at Bryant Park to the metaphorical tents at Lincoln Center, more and more designers have opted instead of external sites to hold their fashion shows. One of the most popular venues, Milk Studios, is now in direct competition with Lincoln Center for both sponsors and designers.
