Yigal Azrouël's Fall 2011 collection conjured up images of super chic French girls walking the streets of St. Germaine and Rue Etienne Marcelle. The collection was filled with boyish basics like cropped slim trousers, button-up shirts, and double-breasted blazers, yet still showed its feminine side with luxe fur touches, stunning silk and feathered cocktail frocks, and an unexpected palette of turquoise, peach, and the occasional shot of hot yellow or pink. The beauty look was particularly intriguing as models wore feathered headbands with pulled-back hair, but to see all the outfits and styling choices, watch our coverage now!

"Decayed opulence" was the overall theme for Marchesa's Fall collection, and designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig showed little restraint with their Victorian-era offerings — inspired by Great Expectations' Miss Havisham, the pieces were romantic, exquisite, and impeccably crafted. Intricate pearl beading, leather cutouts on lace, and deconstructed silk punctuated the show-stopping gowns — and hopefully you like tulle, because there is no shortage of it in this elegant, fantastical collection. As always, the girls played with volume, creating pure poetry with voluminous, sculptured bodices and skillfully frayed layers of lace, making this yet another Marchesa collection that we can't wait to see on the red carpet.

  • Trends: Victoriana, floral patterns, high-neck collars, deceptive lace cutouts.
  • Colors: Black, red, cream, dusty pink, and periwinkle.
  • Key Looks: A fire-engine-red trench, gothic-inspired origami bustier, and crystallized, fitted gown with extravagant blush-hued tulle train.
  • Accessories: Louboutin Mary Janes, lace socks adorned with crystals, onyx flower wristbands, opulent veils.
  • Who Would Wear It: Pretty-pretty princess types with a flair for the dramatic, like Diane Kruger and Keira Knightley.

    If you too have a summery white maxi buried at the bottom of your closet, take a cue from this NYFW street-style pro and channel her Winter-friendly way to dress it up. Start with a long-sleeve tee to layer, then add a plush, faux fur jacket ($80, originally $170) and a pair of utility-style booties. Extra points for bold accessories, like this Proenza, and a pair of round sunnies to complete the look. Get inspired and shop a similarly boho-chic ensemble.

    We've come to know and love Lim as the master of easy-chic, and his Fall '11 collection only solidifies that reputation. It's a collection that melds the world of street-style chic and elegance — coolness that begs to be worn in the form of leather details on easy silhouettes. We're treated to separates in silky fabrics, neutrals matched in monochrome, then looks with a splash of color or a white contrast. It's the stuff you could live in effortlessly making your way about town, while still exuding polish and sophistication — and just a hint of that edginess that separates the cool girls from the rest.

     

    • Trends: Leather, 'laxed silhouettes, abstract print, minimalism.
    • Colors: Brown, black, cobalt blue, and greens.
    • Key Looks: Cobalt jumpsuit with brown, buttery, leather sleeves and art-nouveau-inpsired prints.
    • Accessories: Scoop-front booties, multistrap, cap-toe heels; oversize, square shades.
    • Who Would Wear It: The girl who craves cool with polish; Kate Bosworth.
