NYFW Fall '13 Trends

Nothing could stop New York designers from showcasing their fall collections even with Blizzard Nemo hitting the city with over a foot of snow. Woman trucked through the freezing weather wearing stylish coats and beanies with leather boots and wedges. And as the world viewed many collections held at Lincoln Center, some trends were made prevalent for the Fall 2013 season.

Schoolgirl Chic
With collections consisting of oversized coats, jumpers, and dimdl skirts, the schoolgirl trend has everyone hoping to get into the college of their choice for Fall 2013.

Upscale Comfort
The Fall 2013 season is all about laidback simplicity where cozy knits and heavy textures envelope the body.

Fur
Fur is back more than ever and I'm beginning to think that fur might become a classic item in every woman's closet.

Beanies
Oversized beanies are the biggest head accessory for the Fall 2013 season with almost every designer donning them on their models.

NYFW started the ball rolling with these great trends and we will only see more during LFW (London), MFW (Milan), and PFW (Paris). Keep your eyes peeled for these great trends to start showing in your nearest Neiman Marcus/Bloomingdales/Lord&Taylor early August. Until next time...

Prabal Gurung for Target!

The last collaboration Target did with Neiman Marcus ended up being a bust on the Target side. I predicted this due that the Target customer did not know many of the designers names presented within this collaboration. Now on the other side, Neiman Marcus sold out within hours because a Neiman's customer knew what a great deal they were receiving on these designer duds! Target is rolling out their next collaboration on February 10th with the fabulous designer Prabal Gurung! Now to a Target customer they might have seen his iPad case in the Neiman Marcus+Target collaboration but nothing more than that. He is not a mass production designer but rather a talented high end one. His collection is so trendy and at such great prices that I believe many target customers will fall in love with his line! From ankle-strap pumps to floral blouses his line is perfect for spring!

Now if you aren't already opening a new tab to look at the rest of the Prabal Gurung for Target lookbook I don't know what else will! Be ready to run to your nearest Target on February 10th because I predict this will be the most successful designer collaboration with Target since Missoni last year! Until next time...
