Since Fashion month just wrapped up, I'm going to be reviewing my favorite collections. FYI, these are in no particular order. So here's what I thought of the collections that debuted in New York & in London:
Christian Siriano
The Fall RTW collection appeared on the 2nd day of NYFW, in a setting that could only be described as "an evening stroll through Paris." The color scheme included tones such as a rich purple, a deep green, and of course black and white. The simple color scheme is brought to the next level with the use of several luxurious textures. The collection included several oversized coats, tailored suits, cocktail dresses, and complimenting accessories. The looks were topped off with wide-brimmed hats, and pointy-toe stilettos. Here are some of my favorite looks:

Donna Karan
This collection gave us what we love about Donna, including some fabulous surprises. Each look was cinched at the waist, and some were even paired with thigh-high suede boots. For the woman who actually wants to keep warm, there were coats of all types. Whether you prefer fur or a classic puffer jacket, this collection seems to have everything. The gowns at the end of the show moved effortlessly on the runway, and also utilized the sheer fabric used in the earlier pieces. If there is one thing Donna Karan knows, it is how to perfectly combine "sexy" and "sophisticated." My favorite looks:

David Koma
Leather, leather, and MORE LEATHER. Koma's Fall RTW collection is filled with futuristic leatherwork, clean lines, and sexy silhouettes for the modern woman. The color scheme is simple: black, electric blue, white, gray, and a bright violet. Almost every piece in the collection has an interesting strappy detail added to it. Most of the dresses are skin tight, with a leather detail added either to the neckline or to the waist. A few of the garments included sheer fabric (one being a knee-length coat) to add even more sex appeal to the overall look. Everything was pulled together with platform heels, a few peep-toe boots, and minimal makeup with sleek hair-dos. Here are some of my favorite looks:

Julien MacDonald
Part of the reason why I love this designer is the use of sequins and embroidery on each piece. (I'm a bit flamboyant, I know) MacDonald is known for his signature sheer gowns with beautifully detailed embellishments. The brand can only be described as "the true definition of glamour." The color scheme included a wide range of shades such as gray, white, gold, silver, teal, black, red and a royal blue. The models each had their hair pulled back to showcase their not-so-subtle smokey eyes + strong brow duos. The shoes were simple peep-toe heels, not to take away from the amazingly detailed garments. Here are my favorite looks:
