Frank Tell’s clothing has always given me a sense of youthful sophistication, and his Fall 2010 Collection shown during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week worked very similar magic.

Architectural and textural are the two words that come to mind when seeing the Helmut Lang Fall 2010 Collection showcased during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

However, among the gashes and sheer overlays, designers Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi really brought forth some strong working looks with their fall/winter collection.

First off, I find Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra just adorable – I love that two stocky brawny bearded men can make such gorgeous form-flattering clothing! I was immensely excited to see what they would bring forth for their Costello Tagliapietra line this coming fall – and bring it forth they did! I absolutely loved [...]
I have to admit I expected something a bit more outlandish and ‘out there’ from the Christian Siriano Fall 2010 Collection shown during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.
