2011 Fall New York Fashion Week: Mara Hoffman

Ever dream of being a mystical witch princess?

Ever dream of being a mystical witch princess? If so, Mara Hoffman's Fall collection is for you. That said, it's one beautiful mystical witch princess. Floor-length dresses had hoods, but lest you think that's a warmth factor, they were done in silk chiffon or jersey, and one was backless. Models' fingers were painted black and were bedecked in All For the Mountain jewelry. Knits were a standout: thick, printed, and either oversize or super cropped. Overall, it was a romantic vision, one that invited this comment from an observer: "far out, dude." Check out our exclusive interview with the designer here on FabSugarTV.

  • Trends: Thick knits, long lengths, hooded dresses, backless dresses.
  • Colors: Red, black, graphic prints.
  • Key Look: A red knit maxidress with striped cardigan.
  • Accessories: All For the Mountain jewelry added a mystical vibe.
  • Who Would Wear It: The woman who craves romance and sexiness but indulges her dark side.

Organic by John Patrick's Fall Presentation

We're thrilled to present our favorite Lucky story here on Fab!

We're thrilled to present our favorite Lucky story here on Fab!

My fashion week started off with a (freezing) bang with the Organic by John Patrick presentation. I walked in and immediately noticed the models rocking what seemed to be an homage to Laura Ingalls' character on Little House on the Prairie in their long, floral-printed chiffon dresses — so Kristen McMenamy early '90s grunge. The rest of the looks had a very laid-back vibe with a hint of prep school — seriously similar to the staffer style here at Lucky.

There were crisp oxfords, buttoned "librarian style" (i.e., all the way up), under heavy, cropped sweaters, high-waisted shorts and textured knit thigh-high tights. The footwear was all provided by Hunter, and what a departure from the rubber boots that I have seen all too much of this wet winter. There were cropped ankle booties with a modest heel and tall lace-up boots that were very wellie-meets-Victoriana and, dare I say, sexy enough to be worn even on a sunny day. Overall, the collection was wearable, stylish and eco-friendly. What's not to love?
