Runway Looks We Love: Michael Kors

Sep 12, 2012 @ 9:49 pm

Michael Kors went mod for spring with a collection he described as “geometric glamour.” That translated into a plethora of stripes, checks and retro silhouettes in colors like red, green, and yellow that were offset by inventive digital prints of shimmering pools and clouds. For evening, the designer sent a trio of black gowns down the runway, closing the show with a crepe “harness” column worn by Karlie Kloss. Must-have accessories like lucite shoes,  structured bags, daring oversize goggles, and waist-cinching belts punctuated the bold lineup. See our favorite looks in the gallery!

It’s been four days since Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds got married (with a little help from pal Martha Stewart) at The Notebook Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. We already know that the Gossip Girl wore a one-of-a-kind couture Marchesa wedding gown, which featured a “hand-draped silk tulle bodice adorned with custom crystal and rose gold embroidery,” according to a press statement released by the brand. But inquiring minds (ours!) want to know more. Enter Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, who we caught up with at her New York Fashion Week show, where she told InStyle.com exclusively that working with Lively had—not surprisingly—gorgeous results. “She’s very creative, and she’s a brilliant stylist herself,” Chapman said of the actress. “She really knows what works. We’re good friends so it was a wonderful collaboration.” A match made in fashion heaven, we’d say. The Marchesa mastermind also told us that the bridesmaid dresses were blush. Until the photos are revealed, here’s everything you need to know about the celebrity wedding.

Runway Looks We Love: Rachel Zoe

Sep 12, 2012 @ 7:23 pm

In keeping with her retro style, Rachel Zoe looked to fashion icons Jane Birkin and Talitha Getty for spring inspiration. The result was a flawless combination of Birkin’s “androgynous cool” and Getty’s “effortless glamour,” that yielded wide-leg slacks, slouchy sweaters, and (of course) crisp suiting. And what would be a Zoe show without a sequin or two? The standout sparklers included a rose gold gown and cool gray separates: a relaxed maxiskirt and paillette sweater. Throw in killer accessories—like sheer booties, equestrian caps and piles of gold jewelry—and you could see Zoe (or any of her celebrity clients) turning heads in these looks. See our favorite looks in the gallery!

Runway Looks We Love: Narciso Rodriguez

Sep 12, 2012 @ 7:22 pm

Narciso Rodriguez presented a sleek spring lineup filled with clothes that will take you seamlessly from day to night. There were effortless separates (think ultra-flattering trousers and tough-chic tanks) perfect for 9-to-5, and sexy slipdresses for an evening out. Pops of blood orange and fuchsia infused the collection with a burst of energy (should you be lagging by day’s end). Also on display was the designer’s newly-launched shoe collection—the high wedges are another around the clock winner. See our favorite looks in the gallery!
