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.

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

The DKNY Fall collection presented several of the label’s iconic items, including an oversize quilted bomber. It once represented “street style” when the term actually implied a little grit. Urban outfitting was the focus this season. Oversized parkas and sweatshirts were featured, as well as fun animal prints. Karan also added large rounded shoulders to her silhouettes, particularly on structured mini-dresses and tops that combined multiple fabrics including Neoprene.

It is definitely visible in Victoria Beckham’s fall-collection she’s back in her homeland. For fall 2013 she focused at English heritage fabrics executed in an easy and modern way. With adding more textures like pony-hair and bright blue and yellow mixed with black, gray and brown it all looked fresh and striking.
She went on with tailoring and made that visible in her coats. Some of her shift dresses read Swinging Sixties, but there were also sexy looks: lean silhouettes cinched at the waist with slits that showed lots of leg. The designer also played with new proportions. Very chic were her structured, draped and belted tuxedo dresses. For evening she presented some takes on the smoking, with a coat and dress featuring trompe l’oeil sleeves which looked as if they were elegantly hanging off the models’ shoulders.

Alexander Wang Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear New York FW2013

Alexander Wang was looking for something different in his fall 2013 collection. No neoprene, no modern techno-fabrics. Instead he went for the natural, fuzzy and warm: mohair, alpaca, astrakhan and anything that reminded him of hair. The result was an interesting and even edgy collection. Lots of outerwear of course with brushed denim and knit skirts. Romy coats were shaped by thick folds whether exaggerated lapels or tucks that created a rounded shoulder and tapered sleeve. Many of the coats were dark and sometimes even aggressive, but beautiful too. Wang handled the volume and fabric density with elegance. Wang’s other major element was the tuxedo in satin.

For his fall 2013 collection Prabal Gurung took inspiration from an article about US military body armor for women which he read in Time Magazine. The basic idea of the collection was empowerment. Gurung feminized the classic army-wear of olive green and navy tailoring inventively, slimming the cuts, accentuating waistlines with belts and leather harnesses, and topping off day-wear with white fur. Chunky knits and slinky satin skirts and blouses featured fleshy cutouts and epaulet details. Skirts were shown with thigh-high footwear that approximated leg braces. With women dressed like this we can win the war.
Lacoste Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear New York FW2013

The theme of the Lacoste-collection, designed by Felipe Oliveira Baptista, was ‘an imaginary Antarctic expedition’. Well, it all came together on the morning snow-blizzard Nemo was expected in New York. It turned out to be a collection with a futuristic twist, not only about heritage (the label is celebrating it’s 80th anniversary this year). Baptista worked Lacoste’s signature cotton piqué fabric in new ways, sometimes mixed with jersey, leather and even foam. The overall feel was more structured. The collection also offered glacier and latitude-longitude prints on some outerwear.
For menswear the designer repeated the prints on coats and jackets, combining leather with wool on sweatshirts and pants for an almost armorlike touch. The color-blocking on voluminous sweatshirts looked sharp.
