New York Fashion Week FW 2011: Ruffian, Elie Tahari, Suno
Who: Ruffian
What it made us think of: Le Smoking and Edwardian ruffs mashed up
What we liked: Menswear looks, ballet looks, lace, neck ruffs
What we didn't: Some of the material looked cheap, the houndstooth seems out of place
Who: Elie Tahari
What it made us think of: What is black, white & red all over? (The white part reminded me of Hoth chic).
What we liked: Lux knitwear, lace, boots, leather, layers, coats, wraps
What we didn't: A few blank pieces in an otherwise bold and busy collection, some overstyling
Who: Suno
What it made us think of: The revival in Betty White's popularity may have been the inspiration to revive Golden Girl's style--in an eccentric and rather hip way.
What we liked: Mixed prints, strange layers, bright colors, flowing dresses, vintage look
What we didn't: Zig zag print, these pants?, the sun & moon print, the overdone knits![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjumeVAuF0eriQ84V5sjonEMwKYgEhXUYGxvr1JzLYETo9Vnwugr9Y2XzwALR52KzgOGdjb0hMetnpD0tgiIKaTOETYe5RfXwh7T17jIpl9vA9rv3OsSJ-efXOqpFCubbLf9pOoZPcK4SI/s400/Suno+New+York+Fashion+Week+Fall+Winter+2011.jpg)
