Held at the Skylight Studio on February 9, 2013, in New York City, fetish inspired silhouettes, parabolic seams, figure-hugging dresses, and a twist on jackets with big round buttons are what described Altuzarra’s Fall 2013 collection.

Sally LaPointe’s Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection was one of structure and flow. The well-constructed pieces incorporated styles of geometric influences with the fluidity of chiffon draping, as well as other similar fabrics.

Daisy Fuentes’ Spring 2013 collection during New York Fashion Week was clear in its theme: Bohemian, sexy, and siren, just like Daisy Fuentes. So it’s no surprise that the inspiration was Daisy Fuentes herself and the gypsy movement, giving the strong presence of “sexy.”

LK Paris has come up with a new collection called “Couture to Wear.” I found the name to be catchy and appealing. After all, couture is associated with high maintenance, expensive dry cleaning bills, and careful handling. Upon close inspection, the garments in this collection are impeccably sewn and surprisingly durable. The price points are nowhere near couture. In fact, they would definitely be comparable to the “special occasion” wear at a Bloomingdale’s or any other high-end luxury department store.

The show finally started with designer Ross Higgins. He was the first out of the gate. He trotted as if on the drug ecstasy, and that, folks, set the precedent for what followed—a parade of models, each more frightful than his or her predecessor. Caligula had nothing on this design team!

Well ladies (and men) feast your eyes on this exclusive backstage and runway of New York’s finest male models! Consider this one of the editor’s pick for the our holiday gift guide.

During New York Fashion Week on September 10, Designer Joseph Altuzarra created a classy yet edgy, sophisticated yet futuristic collection, which defined his Spring 2012 line. The vivid colors ranging from vibrant greens, bold yellows, striking whites, and blue accents, colored a variety of styles.

Beautifully crafted swimsuits describes the Gottex Spring 2011 collection. With clear sporty visors (some draped with matching scarves), the models looked oh so fresh. The swimsuits were well-constructed in colors of pure white, vibrant tie-dyed indigo, blue, and mauve . . . reminiscent of corals in Fiji. Gottex swimwear is perfect for that luxury cruise or honeymoon getaway. Photographed by Arun Nevader.

Betsey Johnson presented her collection this season in a wild and crazy fashion. On the runway the colorful garments screamed circus meets navy with cheerleader fashion and vivid palettes.
