Vera Wang’s fall collection looked like a study on luxurious fabrics, volume and silhouettes, referencing several couture concepts. The designer’s main silhouette was the egg shape. It was a nod to Cristóbal Balenciaga, but Wang often made the look in layered constructions of multiple pieces — a jacket over a shift dress, for instance — featuring deep armholes with low, inset pockets. She repeated the shape throughout the show.
Rodarte Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear New York FW2013

The fall-collection of Rodarte was inspired by the West Coast, especially Santa Cruz – the town in which the sisters grew up. For decades this town has been an epicenter for surf and skate culture, which was the genesis of the collection. A progression from chic street to high boardwalk began with a series of black and nude looks, with oversized suede trenchcoats, tight bodysuits and black cropped low pants. Dreamy moments came in neutrals — like the silk jumpsuit with a sheer tulle back embroidered with angel wings.
Then it was onto the trippy side with tie-dye for evening in fluid, colorful silk gowns, some topped with angular “foam” collars in white, black or nude, others merged tie-dye skirts with crimson, rose-embroidered tulle. The show ended with a parade of acid wash, whether as real denim or filmy printed silks.

Olivier Theyskens wanted to create a futuristic collection for Theyskens Theory without it looking too utopian. He translated that thought in a silhouette with strong shoulders on tailored, basic pieces and a play with proportion with several voluminous dresses. Several quilted fabrics added a cocoon touch. The vibe was down to earth although the designers borrowed his ideas from spacesuits (quilting) and weightlessness (floating volumes).

Phillip Lim presented a well balanced fall-collection, good design with commercial value. The designer referred to motor-racers and played along with biker-vests, racer-back dresses, zipper details and leather patches. The layers gave a modern, streetwise touch – as did the outerwear, roomy shorts and skinny cargos.
Tommy Hilfiger Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear New York FW2013

For his fall 2013 women’s collection Tommy Hilfiger drew from the same inspiration as for his men’s show: Savoile Row meets Ivy League. A key inspiration was Tommy Nutter, the man who gave Savile Row a swinging Sixties profile, dressing all the cool people like Beatles, Mick Jagger and Twiggy types included. Nutter loved fabric mixes — mash-ups of plaids, checks, tartans and more. Hilfiger opened his show with a group of coats and separates in various combinations, the mannish tailoring often offset by Mod-like mini kilts. The outerwear continued with printed shearlings, ponyskins, bonded khaki mackintosh coats and cozy toppers made of teddy-bear fleece.

A return to the body, is what Donna Karan had to say about her FW2013 collection. Sensual, soulful and sculptural was the title. And it referred to the clothes that indeed reflected her sexy, bodycentric allure. Karan draped, twisted and slashed her jerseys in great dresses. There were also beautifully sculpted coats. Capes are a trend right now, and the designer did all kinds: asymmetrical and sweeping in jersey, built into a jacket, to the floor for evening.
Diane Von Furstenberg Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear New York FW2013

For fall, Diane von Furstenberg found inspiration in a mix of glam rock and Studio 54 — a moment in the Seventies when she began to spread her wings.
Without a creative director by her side for the first time in over a decade, Von Furstenberg managed to recapture some of her label’s essence that she felt had recently gone astray. She did so in no uncertain terms, along the way exploring numerous aspects of Seventies glamor from the wrap dress to disco-ready bronze lamé blouses and gold leather pants. She also reworked some of her early prints, i.e., chain and animal motifs
