New York Fashion Week 2013 Trends

12277778-standard
New York Fashion Week 2013 has just wrapped up, but we still can’t stop thinking about all the beautiful fashion and beauty trends! Among the top trends we saw on the runways, we’re still brainstorming how to incorporate the top three trends of fall 2013 in our wardrobes- leopard print, leather, and houndstooth.  Whether mens or womens fashion, clothing or accessories, these trends are easy for anyone to incorporate in your closet for the upcoming fall season. Pops of leopard in an accessory is an easy way to incoroprate the pattern into your everyday wear. Buying one great leather jacket is an investment piece, and a staple you will have in your closet for years to come. Although houndstooth may be overwhelming at first, pairing it with a solid top and shoe is a great way to introduce yourself to the trend.

We came across these gorgeous pictures from Ryan McGinley for W Magazine’s January 2013 issue with model, Daria Werbowy. The editorial is titled, “Earth Angel” and we loving the look of the Ukrainian Canadian model, Daria, styled against the different earthy backdrops. This “earth angel” theme would be a great inspiration idea for a wedding! Think of the color combos of red, green, yellow, and white against textures like chiffon, silk, and tulle. Thank you to Fashion.net for sharing these photos.

 

 

So dreamy and ethereal! Perfect for a hipster bride in Los Angeles or a beachy bride in San Diego.

As you may know, last week was Bridal Fashion Week or New York International Bridal Week (October 12-15). Famous for their elegant, rich beading, we fell in love with Badgley Mischka’s runway collection. Their Fall 2013 inspiration was drawn from celestial elements. Their 16-piece collection was named after planets, constellations, the Greek alphabet and astrological signs such as “Venus,” “Virgo,” “Eclipse” and “Ariel.” The collection featured both slender and full gowns that were embroidered dramatically along the shoulders, torso and waist. Walking down the aisle in one of these gorgeous dresses ought to make you feel like you’re in heaven!
