FASHION WEEK: Marchesa & Anna Sui

Wednesday, Marchesa lived up to the Harvey Weinstein hype. There was a midnight black strapless gown with bursts of laced fabric like a bouquet of flowers, a plum strapless gown with a cinched waist and mini-flower bunches in the bust, and a pale green Romeo & Juliet dress with a beaded train that I could see Gwyneth Paltrow/Cate Blanchett wearing that were gorgeous. But my personal fave was a Greek, one-strap number with a wreath of flowery-detail that extended from below the bust to the shoulder (left). I could totally see a pregnant Angelina rocking this--fit for a queen.







Carlos Miele's gowns were trying for Oscar-readiness, from the crumpled halter (left), to a one-strap burgundy satin number, to a black and silver strapless.



Isaac Mizrahi's line was kind of bland.

















I really loved Nanette Lepore overall, especially her berry-hued pieces (left). It's almost Spring, but I'm totally game for coat shopping. This one's kind of girly, but the cut is very regal while the texture makes it less hoity-toity.



















Y & Kei
had yet another coat (left) I was feeling--tweed texture and a funky origami cut.

Michael Kors could style the entire cast of "Mad Men." With the release of Angelina Jolie's period film The Changeling coming in November, it seems the 40s are in.

















Milly by Michelle Smith had a few choice pieces, but I was really only feeling this mixed black and white patterned outfit (left). Mixed patterns seem to be my thing this season.




Anna Sui was like a kaleidescope of Native American hippie-ness that I just wasn't ready-to-wear.















I may not have liked anything from Richard Chai's collection, but I did love one of the colors, a camel-caramel in suede (above). Nice.


Derek Lam had a very dark palette--stern, business-like. There were a few pencil skirts that I was fond of.


This morning was Vera Wang, Bill Blass, and my personal favorite Naeem Khan. Right at this moment Calvin Klein's collection is strutting down the runway, and tonight we've got Cynthia Rowley, Tommy Hilfiger, and Zac Posen.
