| Dennis Basso Fall 2011: Fur-ocious Posted: 16 Feb 2011 07:30 AM PST
If you think fur is morally reprehensible or just tacky, I'd advise you to avert your eyes ASAP and move on to the next post. Lynx, kidassia (long goat hair), fox, broadtail, chinchilla, and alligator all made appearances at the Dennis Basso show. Dennis Basso is, first and foremost, a furrier. And let me tell you, his rabid fans were eating it up. I was in Aspen over the holidays this year and saw firsthand at his store there the amount of adoration that this man's wares produce. He has groupies. And they were out in full force at Lincoln Center to support his fall collection. There were so many "moments" in the show: Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2011: A Love Story Posted: 16 Feb 2011 07:00 AM PST
If Monday night’s Marc Jacobs runway can be likened to an asylum, then Tuesday’s Marc x Marc catwalk was a prep school. A 1972 prep school. It was all very Love Story, but not just Ali McGraw’s character. Ryan O’Neil was in there too, as was the bookish, quirky girl who mightn’t have actually existed in the screenplay, but was most definitely admiring the football hero from afar. My favorite looks for the ladies were the suits, which are available in a variety of fabrics, from corduroy to velvet to tweed. A menswear inspired tweed overcoat also struck my fancy, as did a blouse with a mini capelet draping the shoulders. (That silhouette has been everywhere this season–and I love it.) But of course the clothes were great–is Marc by Marc ever not on point? What I really couldn’t stop thinking about was the brand itself, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.

| Lauren Conrad’s New Line, Paper Crown: The Complete Look Book Posted: 16 Feb 2011 05:40 AM PST
After MTV dropped Lauren Conrad’s reality show for being “too high brow,” Conrad lost a lot of potential publicity for her forthcoming contemporary line, Paper Crown. The show was to follow the making of Paper Crown, a la The September Issue (not The Hills). We wondered what would become of Conrad’s Paper Crown without the help of MTV, but a fall 2011 landed in our inbox late last night, so it looks like the collection will be in stores come fall. The collection is sweet, just like Conrad, and we could picture her in every piece–which, considering her sizable fan base, is a very good thing. Judging from the look book, Conrad’s first attempt at a contemporary priced collection is a vast improvement from her lackluster collections for Kohl’s. It reminds us a little of Elizabeth and James only skewed younger. Paper Crown features on-trend basics like leather shorts, silk blouses in blush tones, slouchy blazers, tight cocktail dresses, tiered ruffled maxi dresses (a Conrad staple) and short, flouncy, belted dresses.

| Zero + Maria Cornejo Fall 2011: Silk and Sculpture Posted: 15 Feb 2011 02:03 PM PST
Maria Cornejo’s fall collection was hands down one of the best I’ve seen all week. Granted, I’ve always been a fan of Cornejo and her hallmark asymmetrical printed silk dresses that hang just-so, but this collection stood out. “I realized that the greatest luxury is to have the freedom to express one’s own point of view,” Cornejo said in her line sheets. Maybe it was that realization–the luxury of being able to express oneself–that led Cornejo to have fun this season–adding hard wool skirts to her classic print silk dresses so they hung a bit heavier and looked more sculpted, or belting them with thick leather obis to wear over lust-worthy leather leggings. She had fun with prints, too, on her signature drapey silks: there was a print to resemble fur, one to look like hair (which went well with horsehair accessories), one that was a bookshelf (inspired by a “brainy friend’s house”), and my favorite looked like a vivid sunset. Stiff leather pieces were paired with filmy silks, and shaggy knits were layered over silk dresses. A cropped cocoon silhouette was recurrent throughout the collection (Cornejo calls them pods), and was particularly impacting in bright red and paired with a matching skirt.

| Rodarte Fall 2011: Cornsilk and Prairie Girls Posted: 15 Feb 2011 01:36 PM PST
This season, there have been quite a few designers inspired by the prairie look of the 1970s. At Rodarte, the Mulleavy sisters skipped over Gunne Sax and went straight to the source, creating a modern Little House on the Prairie wardrobe that would make romantic fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder swoon. We know we did. Building on last season’s old-timey collection, the designers took their abstract idea of patchwork in a more literal direction, with cut-out calico triangle tops paired with classic circle skirts.

| Carlos Campos Fall 2011: Making News Posted: 15 Feb 2011 01:30 PM PST
In a childhood that encompassed the entire nineteen-eighties and a great deal of the nineties, I somehow never managed to see Newsies. And thanks to Carlos Campos, now I never have to (if the long-rumored Broadway musical version of Newsies ever gets going, I know which designer they should consult for costumes). Campos's F/W 2011 inspiration reached back into his Latin American roots, seizing on the works of Pablo Neruda. The 1930's urban look, gave us newsboy caps, leather bombers, pullovers, and militaristic nuances. Campos's ode to common things included a mostly muted, earthy palette, "as if it's been burnt or left to age," says campos. This let the eye focus on his fine Italian wools and cottons, as well as the old-world tender loving care the designer brings to each piece. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Monique Lhuillier Fall 2011: Princess Moments, in Black Posted: 15 Feb 2011 12:30 PM PST
Monique Lhuillier opened her fall show with something strange: leopard print. But Hollywood starlets who turn to Lhullier for her pretty and purposefully not–sexy looks need not fear this new beast. When Monique Lhuillier does animal print, it’s Dolce & Gabbana Lite: watered down, diluted spots, tamed in a way that renders the print elegant, tranquil, calm- never cougar. Lhuillier is a lady, after all; or at least, her customer is, and one who needs a whole lotta graceful evening wear at that. For fall, the designer delivered accordingly, in lace, chiffon, and heaps of black that colored a departure from the indigos, plums, and fuschias she showed for pre-fall.

We briefly introduced you to the Fiji Water Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week interns last week. Well, they've gone through a week of handing out water and hobnobbing with the likes of Anna Wintour and Mr. Joe Zee. We wanted to hear what they had to say and their impressions of Fashion Week as first-timers. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Billy Reid Fall 2011: Good Ol’ Boy Brings Us Womenswear Posted: 15 Feb 2011 11:33 AM PST
You meet a guy, and he's everything you expected from a Southern gentleman. He's handsome and polite, has a strong gait, watches Alabama football, drinks bourbon. And then you meet the woman with him. She's mired in warmth, sophistication and charm. And you sigh as you realize she's his woman, from her chiffon gown to her motorcycle jacket. This was the couple we encountered over and over at Billy Reid's F/W 2011 presentation at the penthouse of Milk Studios. Deeply Southern, steeped in tradition and comfort, tied to American craftsmanship with every look, cut and stitch. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Barbara Tfank Fall 2011: Meet Bie-Bama Posted: 15 Feb 2011 11:00 AM PST
Barbara Tfank made a few headlines pre-Fashion Week when it was revealed that Justin Bieber's hair–as featured on his recent Vanity Fair cover–was the beauty inspiration for her fall 2011 presentation. And as if one pop culture reference isn't enough, the FLOTUS has also been snapped in Barbara's creations and is a fan. I had to see this marriage of looks for myself, so headed to Chelsea to the Larry Poons exhibit at the Danese Gallery, where the models posed fetchingly by Poons' colorful, abstract canvases.

| Rachel Roy Fall 2011: Denim and a Dexter Star Posted: 15 Feb 2011 10:30 AM PST
Rachel Roy held her fall presentation this morning at the Library for the Performing Arts, and was clearly in the mood for some eclectic layering. The models, sporting Heidi-style braids interwoven with printed fabric scraps (a fabulous DIY beauty idea if ever we saw one), wore a number of wallpaper-floral pieces, among them silk carrot pants and chiffon frocks. We liked that Roy seemed to have drawn on several multi-cultural ways of dressing; one striped lamé dress mimicked the cut of a Japanese kimono, while several pieces in a red-and-purple “Peruvian tweed” were definite standouts. Meanwhile, a head-to-toe navy look featuring a belted, bugle-beaded tunic topped with a slouchy knit coat hit the perfect note of relaxed refinement. For fans of Roy’s famous trenches, fall’s capsule line of coats were thoroughly denim-centric. In addition to the blue-jean takes on the classic topper, several of the trenches were cut from lace, satin, or jersey but dyed a deep shade of indigo.
