I think the trend this year at New York's Fashion Week was free flowing fabrics, gorgeous textures, interesting variation of color, and intricate patterns.
BCBG Max Azria:
Layering, and draping of fabrics created the dress or garment. Neck line cuts made the silhouettes sexier. Some of the dresses looked like the fabrics were woven or wrapped around each other to create a swirling affect, such as that used in the light brown dress.

Betsy Johnson:
The white colored garments stood out from the rest of the collection because they added elegance. Betsey Johnson is known for her innovative designs that include fun silhouettes, and crazy patterns, but I think she took a chance on this collection and succeeded, because she thought outside the box, and tried something different. The ruffly tops are both cute and fun to wear, while still incorporating Betsey's fun and out of the ordinary style.

Carlos Miele:
I thought his use of black and white, and combining the shades of both of these neutral colors was brilliant. He used a belt in some of his designs to make the waist look slim, and to ad a feminine touch. The floral pattern in the dress is artistic, the colors flow together to create an asymmetric design. The second design is more casual yet elegant. With the combination of grey and white, the colors combine to ad texture to the design, with a ruffly shirt.
Carolina Herrera:
I thought the use of florals in both texture and pattern was an innovative idea. The interesting shades of red, yellow, and black ad flavor to the collection. I like how the red dress has a floral pattern at the bust, but then the body of the dress is composed of a plain fabric, as to not take attention away from the focus of the dress. The yellow dress is more free spirited, with a floral bust pattern as well, and a plain body, something that both the red and yellow dress have in common. The black dress is more elegant, maybe intended for a more formal event. The fabrics accent each other in a delicate pattern, and the floral designs ad to this delicacy.

Douglas Hannant:
These two dresses are the perfect gown to wear to a Saturday cocktail party. With their elegant sun-hats, these dresses share a floral pattern with beautiful colors of cream and orange.
Isaac Mizrahi:
These designs are composed of new and gorgeous colors of mint green, lime, tangerine, and raspberry. I like the collard jacket, and pant combination of the first design, with the belt with a bow tied around the waist ads a feminine touch. The floral pattern of the blouse in the second design, makes me want to touch it for myself, with a texture that is eye catching. The green dress ads elegance to the collection, with its layered style of a flip down corner along the bust, the silhouette molds to the model, and flows with her as she walks. The last design ads color and spunk to the collection. With a white overcoat, tangerine blouse, and raspberry candy colored pants and pink bow around the waist, this silhouette is new and exciting. A trend I have noticed with Isaac Mizrahi, is his use of belts with bows wrapped around the waist, ads a feminine and young look to his creations.
Oscar de la Renta:
All of Oscar de la Renta's designs have one thing in common, the use of belts to make the design look more feminine, slender and shapely. The use of texture in the first dress is amazing, with a lacy pattern, accented with a burnt red purse. The second dress is for the party girl in the crowd! It's black skirt and black belt with a bow accent the white, v-neck cut dress. The third dress is for a more elegant evening. With a long feminine silhouette, accented with an orange belt with a bow, shows off her beautiful neck line.
