New York Fashion Week FW12: Prabal Gurung, Diane von Furstenberg, Jason Wu

By -
Who: Prabal Gurung
What it made us think of: A superhero who is being tempted by evil but eventually chooses to use her powers for good.
What we liked: Everything.
Who: Diane von Furstenberg
What it made us think of: It was classic DvF, but this time the designer got playful with puzzle prints, clocks, lips and hands.
What we liked: The fun prints, the quirky clutches, classic dresses, bright colors
What we didn't: Baggy at the hips jumpsuits, sporty details on otherwise classic coats
Who: Jason Wu
What it made us think of: The Asian and military influences reminded me of a Modern Mulan.
What we liked: beautiful brocades (mixed with sporty quilting), buttons, tassel earrings, belts
What we didn't: Furry arms, costume-y hats

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year.

The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties , however, is still laughable.
