Badgley Mischka Spring 2013 | Runway

Mark Badgley and James Mischka's Spring 2013 collection drew on the 1935 film version of A Midsummer's Night Dream, which explains why the models in the show looked a little like faeries emerging from the woods.

"When they shot that film, they put tulle and sequins in front of the camera to create that ethereal world," Mischka said at the show. Naturally, they sent models down the runway from behind a woodsy backdrop dressed in gauzy gowns decorated with lots of sparkle. The highly detailed frocks from their main collection were shown with separates and daywear from their secondary line, Mark & James. But the garments shared a mutual love of glitz that allowed the designers to tell a richer story: A suit jacket featured panels of tweed coated in Lurex, and a sparkly pair of tailored sweatpants seemed just as luxurious as the lacy, rhinestone-laden gown Erin O'Connor wore in the show.

Despite a Death in the Family, the CFDA Awards March On
>> While the "fashion Oscars" are a time for celebration, this year, many attendees had another recent event on their minds — the recently deceased Yves Saint Laurent. In tribute, Diane von Furstenberg wore vintage YSL, Naomi Campbell donned Fall 2008 Saint Laurent, and Ashley Olsen riffed on Le Smoking in her Calvin Klein suit.

As expected, models and designers turned out in droves — Erin Wasson, still in leg cast, was by Alexander Wang's side, and Francisco Costa celebrated his Womenswear win by hugging Eva Mendes tight.
