Fall 2013 Fashion Week has moved onto London, where the trends continue to evolve.
While metallic has been a big idea for a few seasons now, we are seeing a slicker version. These foil finishes take the metals to a whole new level of shine.

New York Fashion Week is in full swing, proving even a blizzard can’t keep a good fashionista down.
In a season of very somber, mostly solid clothes, a modern art sensibility is emerging from the depths of darkness. Designers seem to be channelling contemporary artists, using prints influenced by their work to complement their own. Below, see how life imitates art for Fall 2013 .

It’s fashion week here in New York,and that means it’s time to break out your most impractical, outrageous and uncomfortable shoes. Yes, the sky is the limit for heel height, and the more extreme, the better. So what happens when a blizzard rolls through the city? The shows must go on, but the footwear might have to change. Here are a few shots showing intrepid fashionistas adapting to what will go down in history as the time when Fashion met Nemo: the great blizzard of Fall 2013 fashion week:
And finally, a Twitter apology from editor Cindi Leive of Glamour magazine:

New York designers are showing their stripes next season, with a fresh, innovative twist on the classics.
Bold stripes appeared in lean languid shapes or easy menswear silhouettes. The most notable American designers embraced the trend, with dresses, tops and suits all earning their stripes!
Marc Jacobs is arguably the most directional designer in the world right now, and all eyes were on his collection, as editors looked for the next big thing. After seasons of excess, his Spring ’13 collection highlighted clean graphic interpretations of the 1060′s, while channelling the iconic Edie Sedgewick.
Tommy Hilfiger is synonymous with all-American style. His collection featured classic and deconstructed stripes in easy feminine takes on menswear.
Michael Kors also played the stripe card, with bold sailor stripes on clean modern shapes.
As you are packing away the last of your summer wardrobe and getting ready for fall, hold on to that boat neck striped tee for one more year. It is sure to be the center piece of your wardrobe next spring.

New York fashion week is coming to a close today, leaving us with lots to dream about for next spring.
Consider this a public service announcement; you have exactly 8 months to get those abs into tiptop shape!
Retro bra tops, cropped tops and cut out dresses ruled the runways this week, highlighting a new erogenous zone. Although we have seen some of these trends emerging, they were out in full force this season, making them hard to ignore.
DKNY returns to their roots with this sportive windbreaker over a feminine bra top and flirty skirt.
Sheer cutouts on an edgy leather dress from Alexander Wang.
Jason Wu gets girlie in leather and lace.
While the look is sexy, yet sophisticated, perfectly toned abs are the “it” accessory of the season!
Now step away from the refrigerator, and get to the gym. You’re welcome.

New York Fashion Weekhas come to a close, with more than 280 designers showing their collections for Fall 2012-13 over the course of 9 days. While it was somewhat of a conservative season, there were overarching trends that emerged. Here are a few of the “must haves,” New York style:
- Burgundy was the #1 color shown by many designers. It is a deep warm red that plays well off of all the black and white shown. Also look for rich blues, and emerald green as runners up.
- Chunky Sweaters were abundant, whether mixed with something soft and ethereal, or back to clean leather bottoms.
- Leather sportswear cropped up virtually everywhere, in simple easy cut pants, lean pencil skirts and tops, dresses or jackets of all kinds. A great fitting leather bottom is a must have for the season.
- Military madness is sweeping the catwalks again, and the military inspired jacket or coat is a key piece.
- Menswear influences, through classic fabrics and new takes on haberdashery styling permeated the runways. Mix it up, with new proportions and items.
- Metallic fabrics, whether in gold or jewel toned colors added an unexpected twist to the looks. Shine in general, through finishes and technical aspects to fabrics are still important.
- Fur is still gaining momentum with everything from shaggy outerwear, to handbags and even a raccoon tail as an accessory being prominent across designers.
- Black is the new black, and head to toe winter white was a showstopper.
- Flower power continues into fall, where the spring trend morphs onto leather, soft fabrics and jacquards.
10. Blanket stripes and patched fabrics add a cozy outdoorsy feel to fashion.
11. Below the knee looks, from skirts to an influx of cropped trousers gave a new proportion to the season.
12. Peplums made a comeback for spring, and are continuing to rule the runways in modern iterations of the vintage silhouette.
Some of these items may be sitting in your closet, waiting for a renaissance. Try putting them together in new and exciting ways, and give your current wardrobe an instant upgrade!
