 Davidelfin:  Cool blues, greens and aqua-hues were accented with black and white  throughout this Spanish style maker’s  show.  Some of the styles boarded on silly, and some were less than flattering  but we still believe this up and comer is going to make it big on the American stage soon.

Michael Angel -poufs, poufs and more poufs dominated the surprisingly dark palette. While the busy prints left us feeling flat the overall construction was impressive, in a “how’d he get it to stay like that” For a complete slideshow visit WWD

 BCBG Max Azria- Lovely draped jersey dresses with a few little Hervé Léger-lite looks thrown in for good measure, the BCBG show may not have been the most original collection of the day, but several pretty pieces left us looking forward to the retail versions debuting next year. Interesting twist: Moments after the show ended the BCBG twitter team announced that the dresses were already available on the label’s recently redone website.  Nice touch.

 Vena Cava Another surprisingly dark spring palette was the foundation for a fun, funky retro graphic collection featuring a few of the day’s best looks, including the hyper-wearable red black and white sundress that celebrities are bound to be seen in come next year.
