Runway Trends from New York Fashion Week Fall 2012 Catwalk Shows: Ethnic, Leather, Layering & more!

We've spent last week soaking up all the trends from the A/W 2012 runway shows at New York Fashion Week. Major American designers including Jason Wu, Joseph Altuzarra, and Zac Posen injected an exotic global vibe to the new season aesthetic, while the runways at Rag & Bone and Marc Jacobs showed us two new perspectives on layering that happened to be completely different. We saw the rise of orange, the dominance of red leather, and the return of wide belts (all the better to create those hourglass figures with, m'dear). If you're looking for the top trends of New York Fashion Week, you've come to the right place.
