New York Fashion Week (Thus Far!)

So, I told myself that I was going to try to wait until the week was over to do a blog post, but clearly that's not what's happening here.  There are so many wonderful clothes coming out on the runway for Fall 2012, that I just have to share some of my favorites!

If there's any commonality among the clothing from this season, I would have to say that many of the looks seem to be inspired by the professional woman's look that pervaded office buildings nationwide from the late 1970s to present day.  The looks are classic and the fabrics are luxe adding a bit of soul to formerly lifeless and monotone looks.  All Images Courtesy of vogue.com



 
This fall coat from Victoria Beckham's collection in taupe is gorgeous.  The combination of patent leather detailing and military detailing in the shoulders and button work makes this coat a winner in my book.
This look from Thakoon's RTW collection is fully of color and texture.  It's a little bit 1960s mod with the incorporation of hot pink and orange color blocking in the skirt, but the exaggerated bagged waist line makes gives this ensemble an otherworldly look.   
Here Tory Burch pairs a burgundy textured leather trench coat with 70s inspired plaid slacks.  Together with loafer  pumps and a floral chain link bag for a pop of color, the look is perfect for a Sunday stroll in the park. 
Soo, if you can't tell by now, I LOVE coats.  This gray wrap coat from Carolina Herrera is accentuated with a distinct belt and dresses up any outfit.
