10 Crosby Derek Lam Fall/Winter 2014 Collection

10 Crosby Fall–For his 10 Crosby fall-winter 2014 collection, Derek Lam looked to artwork of the 50s and 70s for inspiration. Namely artisanal German pottery called Lava Pottery. The work is noted for its volcanic look and sleek lines as well as abstract decorations. Lam took this influence and gave an arty finish to the upcoming fall by reinterpreting a smock as a crop top or reinventing the classic black pant with patchwork pockets. The color palette also has an eclectic vibe with a variety of shades including dijon, indigo and aubergine sometimes in an ombre effect.

Donna Karan Fall/Winter 2014 | New York Fashion Week

Donna Karan Fall 2014–Dark and sensual. These are the two main ideas of Donna Karan’s fall-winter 2014 collection which also happens to mark the label’s 30th anniversary. The dark mainly comes from a color palette of inky black with rare pops of seductive red. Sensuality comes from the slinky silhouettes that embrace the feminine form. Karan’s tailoring is out in full force with the collection’s opening which showcases belted jackets with a slightly Eastern inspired cut. Outerwear looks to fur coats as well as cinched parkas for the fall season. For evening wear, the Karan woman wears show stopping gowns with flowing fabric and high slits–a great look for just about any red carpet event.
