I really enjoyed the easy femininity of this collection. The clothes displayed are attainable looks for the everyday woman. I loved the hint of fifties and lace mixed with modern touches such as metallics and peplum silhouettes.

I wasn't a big fan of this collection - despite this one look. I couldn't get over the styling. Many of the outfits were styled with a large, detachable hood that looked like a mixture between a nun habit and a baseball hat. However, there were some interesting details such as the laser cut fabrics.

This collection contained really well made suits and this fabulous dress (but with some better shoes). I want it!

I really enjoyed this collection! It is the definition of California cool - interesting patterns, board shorts, cut-outs, easy, and chic. However, I felt the big bags (even though I loved them) were a little distracting - they blocked a few of the outfits (especially the silhouettes of a few). Styling-wise, other then the over sized bags, I loved it. Again, super California Girl -esk.

Cushnie et Ochs

I loved nearly every piece in the collection. It was modern, edgy, original, and attainable. The styling was perfect as well. Simple makeup with a cat eye and a slick, strait center part. Well done!

Helmut Lang

This urban collection features biker-esk pieces with an urban twist and bright colors and patterns.

This collection features a variety of different patterns as well as lace. I especially enjoyed the use of lace due to the fact that this designer was able to use it in a new and innovative way (see the 3rd look). But next time, please loose the obnoxious earrings...

Jason Wu

Collection featured the on-trend fabric - lace. Also, my other loves - leather, sheer, and chiffon. I especially loved the dresses with the attached capes (I guess that's what you call it...). Styling was perfect as well - hair with fifties front and a braid in the back, and the bold lip.

Color blocking for the win!

Kate Spade

Kate Spade has been one my favorite designers for a while. I always love their play on color and pattern, their nod to the past, and quirkyness. This collection, again, is able to do that. Also, got to love those nails!

Nicole Miller

LOVE this collection. So funky and hip! Loved her use of pattern and different materials. The styling was spot on - mini fishtail, colorful hair, and custom nails!
