#NYFW Cheat Sheet: Reem Acra Fall 2012

Edited by

Sniff, sniff. I smell Oscar dresses. It’s no surprise Reem Acra showed some of the most beautifully beaded gowns I’ve seen all week for Fall 2012, but the rest of the collection was just as interesting. Ladylike suits woven with metallic threads were accessorized with chic matching luggage. Leather pieces in black, burgundy and forest green demonstrated Acra’s affinity for impeccably tailored, sophisticated and body-conscious design. Thigh high slits, cutouts and sheer panels drove the evening wear to another level of red carpet worthiness. It’s guaranteed whoever wears Fall 2012 Acra during awards season will land on the best dressed list. If the dress fits properly of course.

Lara Stone on Her Love for Dogs, Carine Roitfeld and Particularly Carine Roitfeld’s Shoes

Edited by

Clad in a clingy Calvin Klein, Lara Stone looked every inch the supermodel as I sat down — flustered and fresh off the subway — to interview her and photographer Alex Prager about their collaboration with Mercedes-Benz. During our little chat in the swanky Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge, I tried to explain the concept of a spirit animal — I muttered something about Native American mythology as the concept isn’t particularly clear to me either — but I feared that it would be lost somewhere in translation. After a few more explanations, we finally got around to the heart of the question – ”Who is your celebrity spirit animal?” As soon as she said the name, I realized the answer was fairly clear.

#NYFW Cheat Sheet: Joy Cioci Autumn/Winter 2012

Edited by

We’ve already established orange is burning for Fall 2012, and Joy Cioci is right on trend for the season. Along two leafy backdrops, models stood on white platforms wearing 20 looks from the designer, and it’s easy to see that Cioci knows how young women want to dress. In both the tailored and more flowing pieces, the mood was all about the power of femininity: ruffles and pleats to subtly accentuate curves in all the right places, cutouts and sheer panels perfectly placed around erogenous zones. Practical yet incredibly gorgeous fur pieces reinforced her luxurious yet wearable line mentality.

SHOE ENVY: Jason Wu Fall 2012

Edited by

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.

#NYFW Cheat Sheet: Joseph Abboud F/W 2012

Edited by

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.
