What's so memorable about Katie Ermilio's designs, is that they aren't meant for casual occasions. She is easily becoming known as a go-to designer for evening wear, effortlessly abandoning the concept of poofy princess ballroom gowns in favor of more elegant and contoured pieces. With that idea in mind, there were several fail proof numbers, like a silk chiffon dress with an open back, a scoop neck cream A-line dress and LBD with graceful bow straps. The overall look: a woman who knows what she wants and what she enjoys wearing. No questions asked.

Setting the ambience of her fall collection, Nicky Zimmermann aptly named it, "Mirror Mirror," as models moved down the runway dowsed in reflective effects and shimmering details. Maxi dresses and jumpsuits were relaxed in construction while radiating a cool girl factor. On the opposite end, the designer showed uber feminine metallic lace dresses and printed frocks while offsetting the looks with punk-ish accessories. The overall look: Pretty and playful.
The Roaring Twenties (gone modern) was an obvious inspiration at Cushnie Et Ochs. Tuxedo suiting, stripes, ruffles and velvet were all there in abundance. Their lineup, of course, included their signature viscose gowns but also added in cut out gowns in deep navy, red and velvet. The overall look: Rebellious but in an 'I can still meet your parents for dinner' Kind of way.
Whimsy and texture were key at Nicole Miller, who wanted to warm up the dreary winter weather. Almost folklore territory but never quite going over the edge, she used colorful beading, tassel prints and loads of ruffles. Coats were made of tweed, metallic jacquard and fox fur, all together channeling an eclectic, youthful vibe. The overall look: Scandi babe with a flirty attitude.
Which collection has you willing to give up rent for a shoe, so far?
