#NYFW Beauty Trend: Gothic Lips

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Bright red lips are an obvious trend for Fall 2012 – we’ve literally been seeing them at every other show. But a bit more brooding and certainly a big statement, gothic lips are going to be huge come the changing of the leaves. Whether dark red or teetering on the purple side, a shadowy pout can work for both day and night. Click to see the trend gallery after the jump.

Heads Up! Broad Brims for Fall 2012

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

We were already sniffing out this wide-brimming phenomenon earlier this week, but when Marc Jacobs sent out magnanimous furry top hats, this trend got a head above the rest. Whether floppy like at Rachel Zoe, cowboy like at Nicholas K, or golden like at Samantha Pleet, the brims are thick set to go all the way around. 

#NYFW Cheat Sheet: Nicholas K Fall 2012

Edited by Nicole Vardo

If you’re totally going through the phase of wanting to date a gothic boy/girl gone cowboy chic, then welcome yourself to the world of Nicholas K Fall 2012. Where it’s all about that cryptic attitude, a crazy amount of fringe, leather, and how you can strut your cowboy hat this season.

Khaki is Out of the Trench

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

From the very first show yesterday at Nicholas K, I could sense hunter green and khaki in the trenches. Nay, more than just trenches; slouchy slacks really pushed forward. Celebs like Jessica Alba, Ashley Olsen and Kristen Bell are feeling it too. Sling ‘em low and ride into neutral territory. Want a pair right now? Grab a pair of Broken-In Skimmer Pants like Jessica Alba did at the Gap – it’s a golden oldie.

Nicholas K Runway Grunge and a Literal Fall 2011

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Swathed in draped velvets and cut flannels with layers of multi textured hunter greens and khaki browns, Nicholas K brought about a scene of remodeled 90′s grunge with a dusting of the 70′s boho. There was a sense of a military nod, but rather toward the veteran returned to peace. Like velvet knickers on a man. Most looks came shirt tied in plaid, defining the waist and a generation. These tops have multiple sleeves, lending themselves to be worn more ways than one. With pieces named “Diggs Reversible” and “Scarf Shrug”, this collection is transformational. But the thick flatform creepers caused quite an issue – - TWO models seriously ate it on the runway, face first. And one was a dude!

Nicholas K: Spring 2009 Collection

Edited by Corey Moran

Nicholas K has lined up a well composed Spring collection for 2009. The collection features a lot of pieces that are all layered to create some great looks. My only concern is where are you living where the Spring is so cold you need to layer and wear so much? The collection seems to be more a Fall look to me, as I plan on spending my Spring and Summer in tank tops and shorts.
