Proenza Schouler

This collection is an edgy take on classic school wear. The plaid skirt with the thigh highs, the swingy cheerleader skirt, and even the letterman's jacket. Bold patterns and luxurious furs transform a drab uniform into something fresh and innovative.

Badgley Mischka

Badgley & Mischka were inspired by images of the galaxy. I love that source. The colors, the floaty fabrics, and the embellishments all appear as if they were picked from the sky. I hope one of these gowns will be gracing the red carpet at the Oscars.

Diane von Furstenberg

We can always count on DvF for a gorgeous collection. She describes this collection as a man's life in a woman's body, which is apparent in the mix of feminine textures and prints layered with tailored masculine pieces. Of course the wrap dress and an array of bright prints make their appearance too!

Michael Kors

Michael says, "It's utility for Park Avenue" and I couldn't agree more. This collection is athletic yet glamorous, everything I love about fall: chunky knits, thick layers, and muted colors.

Marc Jacobs

Simple, serene, neutral, and practical, with a few statement pieces mixed in. What more could we ask for?
