Stripes, polka dots, and prints. Navy, white and ecru. Asymmetry, panels and piping. Rubin Singer's Spring 2009 Collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week was a celebration of contrasts. And if you didn't get it by seeing the collection, Singer drove it home by backing his show with the thumping dance hit "Hip Hip Tension." In a lesser designer's hands fusing disparate elements like this would have spelled disaster. Singer carries it off, especially in his cocktail dresses. Take a look at the slideshow from the runway.
New York Fashion Week Style Steal: Edgy Is Easy for Jonathan and Allie

Standing on the steps of Bryant Park and watching passerby is often a fashion show in its own right - check out Jonathan and Allie, who I met as they were leaving the Rubin Singer show. I was immediately enamored with Jonathan's 3.1 Phillip Lim shirt- casual cool at its finest, with stripes! Vintage wooden Ray-Bans and tan leather shoes were classic but edgy finishing touches. Allie's brushstroke-print Julie Brown dress made a vibrant statement amidst a sea of black-clad fashion week attendees, and the belt added shape to the otherwise roomy frock. Click on the slideshow to get their look, and check back every day for more style on the streets from New York Fashion Week!
