Our Favourite Shows from New York Fashion Week

Milan fashion week may be off and running, but before we forget completely about New York, we thought we’d pay tribute to the Big Apple by rounding up our favourite looks from the designers who showed their Spring/Summer 2013 collections in NYC.
Our Favourite Look from the Top Looks from the Top Runways Shows at Spring 2013 New York Fashion Week

Milan fashion week may be off and running, but before we forget completely about New York, we thought we’d pay tribute to the Big Apple by rounding up our favourite looks from the designers who showed their Spring/Summer 2013 collections in NYC. The overarching trend? A sense of modernity that manifested itself via modish ‘60s silhouettes, classic minimalist lines, sports-inspired fabrications and sci-fi finishes. Our pulses quickened after seeing the sculptural delights at Rodarte, we fell hard for Jason Wu’s whimsical way with navy blue tulle, then obsessed over Proenza Schouler’s snakeskin-spliced treats.

One of the highlights of fashion week?

One of the highlights of fashion week? Heading over to Natasha Bedingfield's suite at the Empire Hotel while she was being prepped by hairstylist Ricardo Rojas and makeup artist Celeste Duquesne for the Y-3 runway show. The singer was going for an '80s vintage Chanel look (think smoky eyes, bright lips, and expertly zuzhed hair) and told us that even when getting the red-carpet treatment, she mixes her Tom Ford True Coral lipstick with, well, everything. To see the full finished look — set to Bedingfield's "Touch" — watch our video now.

Smoky Eyes and Photographic Inspiration at BCBG

The sex appeal of Helmut Newton's photographs inspired the designs of Max and Lubov Azria, whose models wore eyes rimmed with smudged kohl eyeliner.

The sex appeal of Helmut Newton's photographs inspired the designs of Max and Lubov Azria, whose models wore eyes rimmed with smudged kohl eyeliner. Their hair was blown out, pin curled, and let loose while lips were lightly coated with a pop of pink lipstick. We watched the beauty test before models took the runway in today's Beauty Book.

At a joint showing with Christopher Esber at New York fashion week, Australian fashion superstar Kym Ellery presented with long, gritty hair, with help from Headlines Hairpieces. Hair director Ryan Taniguchi used the extensions to add volume, resulting in a rounded ponytail that helped set-off the structured tailoring we've come to love in Ellery's designs. The makeup look was created by Lottie Stannard for Jane Iredale, and had an equally raw and edgy theme, with a focus on contoured cheeks and a wet brow. Click through to get the entire look.

New York Fashion Week Hair Wrap-Up: The Trends You Need to Know

For Spring 2013, the need-to-know looks are deep side parts and messy, just-woke-up waves.

For Spring 2013, the need-to-know looks are deep side parts and messy, just-woke-up waves. From 3.1 Phillip Lim to Rodarte, designers made strong statements by stepping away from traditionally pretty styles. That's not to say the season doesn't have more ladylike looks, though; look to The Row and Suno for new takes on the chignon. See these and more new hairstyles in our trend wrap-up. On Kirbie: Rebecca Taylor.

What the Fashion Editors Wear to New York Fashion Week

Forget the designers, the models, even the trends for a second.

Forget the designers, the models, even the trends for a second. We love a runway show as much as the next fashion-fiend, but half the fun of attending fashion week is seeing what other industry insiders wear. Street style snappers have turned front row fashion into something of a competitive sport, and New York's best-dressed editrixes have certainly risen to the occasion for the Spring '13 season. From the elegant US Vogue team, to a midriff-baring The Man Repeller, to the too-cool Russian blogger crew, to the fabulously eclectic Clarins-Courtin girls, there was a plethora of f'rowside style to stalk. Enough with the celebrities already! We want to see what the fashion editors wear to New York fashion week . . .
