    Doo. Ri has always been known for soft, fluid fabrics and innovative, but completely wearable designs that showcase modern twists on classically feminine styles. Using a sweetly somber palette of creams, blues and metal grey tones, designer Doo. Ri Chung edged out her designs with tiny chain and mesh overlays. There was a large variety of dresses, skirts and short shorts that featured details such as clever draping, soft, fluttering tiers, origami-inspired pleats and, as the trends have predicted, high hemlines to show off long, tanned legs for the next spring and summer seasons. Doo. Ri presented a collection of sexy and modern dresses and skirts that still manage to be alluringly feminine. See more from Doo. Ri at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week in the slideshow!

    New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Narciso Rodriguez

    Narciso Rodriguez strayed away from the structured look that he's presented in seasons past and opted for a more fluid look that comfortably hugged the female form for Spring 2010 at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week. His signature structure was still apparent through interesting details, including mesh cut-outs as well as pleats and gathers and contrasting colors. A seriously sophisticated color palette of blacks, whites and nude neutrals were complimented with iridescent eggplant purples, dusty reds and grey tones. The collection overall felt like a minimalist revival punched up by daring billows of fabric, transparent details and modern trends such as a bubble mini, asymmetry, and innovative prints and tailoring. Simple, looser fit dresses showed nonchalant luxury while slightly exaggerated silhouettes and lots of legs gave his collection a more edgy vibe. Take a look at the slideshow for more from Narciso Rodriguez!

    Badgley Mischka is well known for their classic lines, luxurious fabrics and to-die-for detailing that makes the wearer feel like a statuesque goddess. Their Spring/ Summer 2010 runway collection at New York Fashion Week lived up to this high reputation. Simple, clean lines served as a feminine and flattering basic backdrop for silky rich materials and a luxuriously chic color palette of black, white and grey, punched up with deep reds and saturated hot pinks. Tiered ruffled skirts, meticulous pleating and contrasting colors gave sophisticated classics a modern twist, while floor length bias-cuts and sensual draping oozed elegant sexuality. Silhouettes were subtly Asian-inspired and metallic golds and silvers were used to add a little edge. Check out the slideshow to get a glimpse of this gorgeous collection for yourself!

    New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Rebecca Taylor

    Bright colors, edgy metallics and fluid lines seem to be the theme this year at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010, and Rebecca Taylor's collection on day five was one of our favorites, showcasing a variety of sweetly feminine and totally modern takes on this year's current and upcoming trends. Shiny silvers, asymmetrical ruffles and girly floral prints were punctuated with exaggerated silhouettes, giving the runway a flirty look that reminded one of a nautical space-age. Looser fits were contrasted by body-con dresses and legs were all over the place in pouf and pencil minis, tailored shorts and satin sheaths, giving the models a look of cabana-chic. Check out the slideshow to see more Rebecca Taylor favorites from her Spring/ Summer 2010 runway collection!

    Are Baggy, Footless Tights In Your Fashion Future?

    The Frisky on Aug 18, 2009 5:22 AM PDT
    I'm all for most hosiery trends, whether it be two-toned, crazy-patterned, or studded leg wear. And I've never been an opponent of "tights as pants," as long as it's done tastefully. But I have to admit that I don't know what to make of Wolford's Voile leggings/footless tights. Isn't hosiery supposed to be fitted, not baggy? I have to say that these look like the cheap stockings sold at drugstores and bodegas, which are barely adequate when you're in a bind and create a very unsexy-looking leg. These leggings, however, aren't inexpensive, and retail for about $62. They not only look weird (and not in a good eccentric way) and cost too much, but are also impractical. I can't think of any way to rock these that wouldn't make the wearer look short and malnourished. Well, I guess if you're trying to look thinner, these might do the trick, but would you really want to risk having your style license revoked? I didn't think so. Head over to TheFrisky for more!

    There are SO many reasons why we're excited about the "Gossip Girl" spinoff, starring Krysten Ritter and Brittany Snow. The cast, the setting, the prospect of meeting hunky younger Rufus and the mysterious Mr. Van der Woodsen... after seeing photos from the show's first episode, though, we've got another thing to add to the list of things to look forward to: amazing '80s fashion. Yes, the decade that so obviously inspires "Gossip Girl" fashion designer Jenny "neon" Humphrey is on full display in the series premiere. You can't help but be reminded of all the crazy things you wore in the '80s!
