Off the Runway

New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 has just passed us by. From Jason Wu to Calvin Klein, designers showed a wide array of styles, patterns, and silhouettes to be excited about. Some of our favorite trends off the runway are full skirts, bra tops, black & white mixed prints, drop waists, studs, peek-a-boo cuts, and metallics. Although amazing to look at, these high-end looks just aren't affordable for most people. We drew inspiration from these artistic designs and created looks that have the same feel, at a price point everyone can afford.

Designer: Calvin Klein

Our Look:
  Silence & Noise Tank: $8
  Lapis Skirt: $8
 
 We were inspired by Calvin Klein's use of black and white textures to create visual interest.


Designer: Diane von Furstenburg

Our Look:
 Top: $10
 Silence & Noise Pants: $16
 Belt: $6
 Necklace: $5
 
We love the color block combos and the use of metallic accessories in Diane von Furstenburg's line.


Designer: Jason Wu

Our Look:
 Merona Top: $5
 Charlotte Russe Jacket: $10
 Limited Shorts: $6

Simple and classy.  This black and white look can transition into any season, day or night.


Designer: Jason Wu

Our Look:
 Sparkle & Fade Bra Top: $8
 Vanity Long Sleeve Top: $8
 Arden B Skirt: $8

Another favorite from Wu's collection.  We love the juxtaposition of the soft lace top and the tough lines of the skirt.


Designer: Dolce & Gabbana

Our Look:
 Asos Tank: $8
 Shorts: $10
 Purse: $12

Dolce & Gabanna's line was full of ethnic flare, bright colors, and prints on prints.  Here we combined a brightly colored printed top with striped shorts to emulate the look.


Designer: Norma Kamali

Our Look:
 Reverse Dress: $12
 Belt: $6

 Studs!  We love this trend.  Here we paired a stud detail dress with a bold studded belt.
