Fashion Designer's Shows: NYFW Fall 2011

Along with being obsessed with magazines, I am also TOTALLY obsessed with fashion shows. And it just so happens that Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week recently took place in New York City February 10-17. These fashion shows were to showcase the designer's Fall 2011 collection. I want to show you some videos of my ABSOLUTELY favorite collections from this years shows.

So you may know by now that I really LOVE Badgley Mischka. Well there show this year was nothing short of AMAZING. In their collection, you saw fluid, draped dresses, with glitzy swatches of Deco beading capping shoulders and encircling necklines and waists. Take a look at some of the amazing pieces from Badgley Mischka's Fall 2011 collection.

Another favorite of mine was Blumarine. The designers always use bright and beautiful colors in their collections. The show opened with sporty coats and knitwear- ribbed turtlenecks and wrap minis, A-line dresses, and tunics over flared pants. The first 20 or so looks were done in camel, navy and black. Then, came all the colors. Models came out in monochromatic outfits in yellow, orange, green, purple, and blue. The designers finished out the show with beautiful lace pieces done in the same bright colors. Take a look at some of the amazing pieces from Blumarine's Fall 2011 collection.

The final collection that WOWED me was from Alice & Olivia. There was an unmistakable flapper-era vibe to the collection and it was set in a glided entry hall at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Designer Stacey Bendet said that she wanted more separates and not just dresses in this collection. So there are some high-waisted cords worn with an open knit cardigan and a fur-trimmed blazer, but the dresses are absolutely BREATHTAKING. Take a look at some of the amazing pieces from Alice & Olivia's Fall 2011 collection.
