Ruffian showed their fall/winter 2014/2015 collection on Saturday, February 8, 2014 during New York Fashion Week and it was amazing! The collection featured vivid autumn colors, beautiful prints and opulent touches. For fall 2014, Ruffian “explored monastic opulence, tailored volume, and sober religious silhouettes-with lavish sumptuousness.” Their inspiration translated precisely to the collection shown on the runway.

The first and fifth photos show my two favorite looks from the Ruffian fall/winter 2014/2015 runway at New York Fashion Week. You can watch the runway show in the press video below. Which looks were your favorite?

Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan showed her fall/winter 2014/2015 collection on Friday, February 7, 2014 at New York Fashion Week. The collection featured a mix of daytime and evening attire with the perfect amount of sparkle to brighten up a cold, crisp fall or winter day.

Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan’s overall collection featured  a dark, neutral color palette which played well with mixed fabrications, prints and sheer panels. The fabrics were soft and flowing; making each piece inviting to wear! I fell in love with the sparkling black puffy jacket in the photos above.

Lee Jean Youn showed the fall/winter 2014/2015 collection yesterday at New York Fashion Week and the designs showed the true meaning of “wearable art.” The exquisite designs on Lee Jean Youn’s runway showcased a muted fall color palette filled with texture and a punk-meets-elegant vibe. The overall inspiration for the collection, according to the designer, was taken from the streets of the “everyday, modern women on the streets of New York City who cherish classic looks, yet are not afraid of breaking conventional rules and embracing ways of marrying style with functional needs in perfect harmony.”

The rich fabrication used in the collection included specialized needle punching techniques, primarily with silk organza and wool pelt mix. These fabrics are ideal for both daytime and evening apparel. The result is nothing short of fabulous!

My favorite piece from Lee Jean Youn’s collection is the dress in the photo below. What is your favorite look from the collection?
