BBA Wrap: New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012

Plaids, tunics-over-pants, Indian silk - it's definitely looking like an Indian Spring/Summer in 2013! While the Indian/South Asian designers went for more western contemporary styles, the others went east. DVF and Vera Wang were both clearly inspired by India but it was perhaps Marchesa's collection that was the most obvious. Marchesa's was a rich Indian collection with the kind of glamour we're used to.

Our South Asian designers dominated the stage - Prabal Gurung, Bibhu, Naeem Khan, Rachel Roy, Falguni & Shane Peacock, Sachin & Babi - packing a punch into NYFW. While Prabal continues on his winning path of uncut yet stunningly fresh style, Naeem Khan opted for something more subdue. Falguni & Shane Peacock reverted back to their winning formula (thank god) of futuristic fashion. Jessie J will be proud (lol). New York Fashion Week is becoming a winning hub for South Asian designers.

The South Asian elements weren't lost on the street looks for the seasons either. Jeremy Scott was a surprising favorite, along with Marc by Marc Jacobs, both clearly taking cue from MIA 'Bad Girls' video. And The Row's designs show us the dhoti inspiration is not going anywhere.

Take a peak at some of our selects:

BBA Celeb Wrap Up

It wasn't my intention to feature Sonam in three different looks this week but it was hard to escape. She is definitely taking her role as Indian's new fashion icon pretty seriously. While I would love to see more of her personal style, her natural beauty is so radiant that it shines through her perfectly styled outfits. I don't have a favorite this week but I'm loving the Ferragamo blue suit.. stunning! Special mention: Jessie J in Falguni & Shane Peacock. Love the risky see-through look and black nails!

BBA Picks: New York Fashion Week Fall Ready-To-Wear 2012

New York Fashion Week is on fire with Brown designers. But unfortunately, they haven't been able stand out of the crowd this year (except for Naeem Khan- review coming soon). While Bibhu delivered an elegant collection on the ramp, Falguni & Shane Peacock stuck to their edgy, geometric designs. It feels as though both designers have become a little too comfortable because neither felt new or fresh. I was particularly disappointed by the Peacocks. While they received the headlines thanks to Ashanti's dress, the show was missing any form of exploration. It was their more simplistic pieces that truly got me excited. They were unexpected and welcomed by the duo.
