New York City’s Fall 2013 Fashion Week wrapped up last week, and I’ve since spent at least an hour combing through the slide shows at InStyle to find my favorite looks from the runways; the looks that will hopefully inspire my shopping for the fall.
Four designers (Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Ralph Lauren and Oscar de la Renta) really stood out to me this year. The other shows gave me a little inspiration in the way of color, fabric and texture. The Prabal Gurung show was heavy on the military infusion with military-like cuts and colors. (Olive green figured prominently in the show.) I found one outfit from Jason Wu’s show to be inspiring, but his use of crimson and black, feathers and fur had a bigger impact on me.
I really liked the mix of light and heavy in this look from the black
fitted top to the white floaty skirt and down to the black peep-toe booties.
The mixed patterns in this first Marc by Marc Jacobs look are really
appealing to me. I adore the body-hugging cut of the dress on the right.
The free-flowing fabrics in both of these looks are appealing
to me. In the first look, I really like the
pairing of the jacket, dress, tights and shoes.
Three of Ralph Lauren’s looks really appealed to me. The French-sailor
look on the left is really cute. The cut, fabric and neckline of both
dresses are lovely, but I’m not sure how I’d work this
inspiration into my wardrobe, but I still love it!
These Oscar de la Renta looks are great. It should be no surprise by now
that I love the mixture of fabrics ine the look on the right.
The bright colors are a bonus.
Did you see any inspiring looks during NY Fashion Week? Are you excited to shop for fall?
