New York Fashion Week has come and gone. We survived! Fashion month is over, and that means we’re hunting for trends. Remember New York fashion week, way back when? Brocade was everywhere.

Legendary designer Byron Lars took a trip downtown to the Native American museum to find inspiration for his latest collection aptly titled, ‘Native Americana.’ The resulting presentation mixed classic American silhouettes with indigenous elements like multicolored bead necklaces, feather flecked hats, and tribal eye makeup.

For Fall 2011 dress aficionado Nicole Miller took a departure from her usual fair with menswear inspired elements like black techno jersey trousers and digital print lightweight wool coats. Wide legged and slim cut pants were fashioned in gray scale with flashes of cranberry and cerulean blue; dresses were revamped with geometric details in pale blue and white.
