Top 10 Trends: New York Fashion Week Fall 2012

Jason Wu

Fur was all over the runway and appeared everywhere from the expected (coats, shawls, scarves, stoles), to the unexpected (skirts, rings, shirt hems) this season. One of the most surprisingly recurring places for fur to appear, however, was on sleeves and Jason Wu, Herve Leger, and BCBG were among those that did it best.

Thakoon

Leather is a given for most Fall collections, but it made up the bulk of the memorable looks in a number of collections this season. It came in a slew of colors and showed up unexpectedly as accent details on floor length gowns. See DKNY, Derek Lam, and Thakoon.

Timo Weiland

From Timo Weiland to Peter Som it was all about deep tones for this season's prints. 

Diane von Furstenberg

Futuristic and attention grabbing, a number of designers including DVF, Alexander Wang, and Rag & Bone opted for high-shine fabrics.

Suno

Just because it's no longer Spring/Summer doesn't mean that head-to-toe florals will be disappearing. They ranged from the somewhat wearable at Suno to the very difficult to pull off at Rag & Bone.

Rag & Bone

Seen on a number of major runways including Donna Karan, Rag & Bone, and Michael Kors, blanket coats are perfect for wintertime dress.

Victoria Beckham

Already popular among celebrities, peter pan collars show no signs of slowing down. They appeared on runways including the ones at Rachel Antonoff, Victoria Beckham, and Tory Burch.

Cushnie et Ochs

Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day? Next season will have a big chunk of winter white thanks to, among others, Cushnie et Ochs, Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang, and Derek Lam.

Tommy Hilfiger

A running military inspiration made for a slew of tailored looks at the likes of Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, and Prabal Gurung.

Rachel Zoe

Things were relativly conservative for the most part this season with bottoms often hitting below the knee. See Rachel Zoe, Tory Burch, and Marc by Marc Jacobs.
