New York Fashion Week Fall ’10: Trend Wrap-Up

Happy Post-Fashion Week! The SCS team has returned to our respective cities after surviving another fabulous run of shows, parties, and presentations at New York's glorious Fashion Week. We braved the snows, the crowds, (and some some serous fashion mishaps) to bring you coverage of the runways as soon as we saw it ourselves. But every fabulous minute was worth it, and as soon as the smoke clears from one fashion week, we're gearing up for the next. But before we jump too far ahead, it's time to stop and digest all the gorgeous looks we watched stalk down the runway. This season was particularly special as the last run of shows to be held at the Bryant Park tents. And though we're sad to see Bryant Park go, it was a reassuring week since designers both in and out of the tents proved (with one amazing fall collection after another) that no matter where its held, fashion week is here to stay! And in case you missed some of the play by play last week (though really, what ELSE could you have been doing??), here are Second City Style's picks for Fall '10 trends:
