Autumn 2012 Fashion Trends Straight from the Runway

Autumn 2012 Fashion Trends Straight from the 

Runway

 
From burgundy as the new black to winter white, the looks from New York City's Fall/Winter 2012 Fashion Week ran the gamut.





Black & Blue

Carolina Herrera
The "it" color combination of the season is most definitely all about black and navy blue. And Carolina Herrera — whose first handful of looks to go down the runway made the hues of a boo-boo look red-carpet ready — nailed the mix with this striped dress.















Black & Blue

Preen
Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi played with varying shades of blue to achieve some layered looks that blend perfectly together.
















Black & Blue

Cushnie et Ochs
At all the femme fatale looks on the designers' runway, it didn't get more luxe than this zipped-up black coat with midnight blue fur trim.
















Burgundy

Rag & Bone
Per usual, David Neville and Marcus Wainwright made the concept of layering look like fine art. We loved the sangria-hued jacket and how all of the model's accessories were perfectly at home in the same color family.


















Burgundy

Alexander Wang
This double-breasted jacket — the first in a series of garments featuring deep oxblood — was completely lacquered, and the finish gave it a slick, almost liquified look.


















Leather

Rodarte
The Australian Outback was the setting inspiration for Kate and Laura Mulleavy's collection, but this matte black leather and white shearling dress could just as well be seen on the city streets of New York.
















Leather

Michael Kors
Another case of mixing the conservative with the ultra-liberal: This chic leather top ups the ante on this otherwise demure combination of black capris and Mary Janes.
















Winter White

Derek Lam
Nothing beats a warm Aran sweater when the temperatures take a dip, but in white? Post-Labor Day? When it looks as good as this knit-over-chiffon ensemble, we are more than okay with forgetting this one-time fashion faux pas.















Military

Jason Wu
In addition to bold fire-engine red and hot, hot pink, the designer also played with a more russety red with this chic cape-and-leather-pant look. It may just be the best outerwear to go watch the leaves change.




















Rag & Bone
The juxtaposition of this floral tapestry in reds, greens, tans, and blacks with the hard edges of this jacket-skirt set was the perfect cap to the designers' collection.
















Military

Tommy Hilfiger
Following suit with his fall military-inspired menswear collection, the American designer opened the show with a trio of high-necked, double-breasted cuts with bullion trim — looks that were still every bit as preppy-chic as one would come to expect.















Military

Victoria Beckham
Who wouldn't want to be on the frontlines with this olive-green vision? From the epaulettes to the two chest pockets to the retro pencil-skirt silhouette, this is fashion's best version of fatigues.
