Fashion Friday

New York Fashion Week: Spring 2013 RTW (BCBG Max Azria)

Fashion Week has officially kicked off! It is time to start looking at what will be on trend for Spring, so that once we've worn our coats, boots, scarves, and jackets for all they can give in the Fall/Winter, we can go into the next season with a bang.

BCBG is simplifying the transition by having kept some of the elements of Fall/Winter gear, and adding them into the structural components of this season's garments. Azria has done this by including leather in bodices of some of his dresses.

We know what you're thinking, leather and lace? But surprisingly it works. The contrast of the ladylike, with the tough, come together harmoniously and add to the "femme fatale" look.

The collection wasn't just a one-note wonder though, because despite it having pieces that balanced leather and lace, it also had pieces that showed that pretty can be just as alluring.

This dress shows how this works, mostly due to the plunging neckline, cheery color, and tastefully revealing details.

Stay tuned for more Fashion Week looks!
