The skirt or dress over pants look has been gaining momentum since the Fall’12 shows featured the questionable pairing. We’ve seen this trend before, but the look never really ever catches on for most of us off-the-runway. While designers like Joseph and Prada envisioned women wearing skirts over pants this fall, this trend continued to pop-up on the recent collections for next spring.

Vintage lovers get ready to swoon! Designer and vintage collector Erin Fetherston has a selection of special vintage pieces from her own personal collection up for sale at Wasteland. I’m obsessed with more than a few pieces from “The Daydreamer” collection. Not surprisingly the pieces are selling out fast. I had my eye on a plaid black and red 1960s Mr.

There’s an endless array of cool street-style mavens running around Paris at the moment and luckily for us, there are twice as many photographers on the loose capturing all the fabulous style moments. There’s so much amazing and eclectic off-the-runway looks at Paris Fashion Week, it’s a great place to find inspiration. From a chunky knit teamed with a maxi skirt, a sweater dress and statement scarf to a varsity jacket in a coat length and a peplum hem wool skirt paired with over-the-knee boots, here are 14 looks I’d love to wear this fall.

Animal motif sweaters aren’t just for kids anymore. Horses, tigers and owls are emblazoning adult-size sweaters this fall. From the runways to the streets, these kitschy sweaters are having a moment dominating the style landscape.

We enlisted Armorer to give us her take on Isabel Marant’s latest Americana influenced Spring’13 collection.

LANVIN
Construction, or more specifically the re-construction, of classics was key at Lanvin with the tuxedo silhouette, pantsuits and the LBD undergoing a stunning architecturally tailored redesign that also found the designer delving into Japanese references.
HAIDER ACKERMANN
Haider Ackerman’s signature expert tailoring and layering continues to thrive for Spring’13. Floaty robes layered over blouses, sleeveless blazers held together at the waist with obi-style belts and romantic gowns layered over louche trousers.

You wouldn’t necessarily associate plaid with elegance but that’s exactly what Dries van Noten offered up for Spring’13. Van Noten may not be the first designer this fashion week season to dip back into the grungy ’90s for inspiration for next spring, but his gorgeous execution is what separates him from the pack.
The beauty of this collection is rooted in the unexpected contrast of the casual workman pattern, cut in precious organza and silk, with the refined femininity of flower embellished midi skirts and easy trousers all cut in a fluid and relaxed silhouette that added a big dose of cool to the looks.

Remember when Italian Vogue labeled hoop earrings slave earrings? As if that wasn’t bad enough, now Dolce & Gabbana have taken it one step further by paying homage to offensive caricatures of black women in their Spring 2013 collection with questionable images that hark back to the colonial and minstrel show era : dark skinned woman with prominent bright red lips with a fruit basket on her head.
