Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week: Cynthia Rowley

Cynthia Rowley showed her Fall 2011 to a crowd of fans last night which included Julia Stiles (donning an awesome cobalt dress), Lauren Bush, and Alan Cumming. Star studded indeed, and her collection was just as shiny as models walked down the runway wearing glittery sweaters, sequined jackets, Asian-inspired floral prints, and graphic patterns. There was something for every personality: polished intarsia knit dresses for ladies who lunch, along with funkier pieces — our faves of the night — comprised of shearling blazers, loose graphic gowns, and even a slick velvet suit.

  • Trends: Shimmery sweaters, velvet suiting, Asian-inspired prints, graphic patterns, intarsia knits.
  • Colors: Mustard yellow, steel gray, olive, kelly green, deep blue, emerald.
  • Key Look: A quilted black patent leather jacket paired with an emerald green damask ball gown skirt.
  • Accessories: Velvet calf boots, rabbit fur scarves, Kool-Aid colored prism pumps, velvet slippers, and d'Orsay pumps.
  • Who Would Wear It: Neoclassical types ranging from Michelle Obama to Olivia Palermo.

NYFW Inspired Style: Chic Halters

While Lo Bosworth wore a black jumpsuit to the PETA event at New York Fashion Week, Taraji P. Henson opted for a hot halter top and wide-leg trousers. Now, halter styles have been around for ages, but I had totally forgotten about their appeal until I saw this look.

I love the way her top hugs her neck and curves to reveal her gorgeous shoulders. It reminds me of the time Leighton Meester used a halter dress to create a sexy illusion of curves. If you're feeling this chic halter look, shop some Fab-approved picks below.
