NYFW: Fall 2013

By Carlos Ferreira | Society Reporter

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week began on February 7th and ended on the 14th. Designers, including Sergio Davila, Edun, and Kenneth Cole, among many notable figures, showcased some of their best work for Fall 2013. As always, the glam of the New York City brought both attention to the essence of style as well as an opportunity to mingle with the who's who of the international fashion scene.

On my first night back in NYC, I found a cute shop in SoHo that carried a wide-range of both vintage and trendy eye-wear. These would be great for a certain PdM Creative Director...

This is Clara, a university student from Austria. She currently studies fashion merchandising and hopes to one day showcase some of her clients' designers - or her own - on the runways of NYFW.

An insider moment. PdM had the pleasure of getting behind the scenes of a notable designer (who wanted to remain anonymous) and getting a glimpse of the designs before they debuted on the catwalk. Thanks to Margot for setting this opportunity up!

Oh la la, what do we have here? This collection is ready for Fall 2013: je l'adore!

While the behind the scenes aspect was very much-appreciated, nothing compares to the energy and enthusiasm of the crowd as models strutted their looks.

There were many tones, shades, and concepts inspired by the far east. This wedding dress, according to Tiffany, the young woman in the background, insists that the inspiration for this designer's line comes from the film, Corpse Bride.

Whether one loves or hates it, fur is usually an integral part to NYFW. Many designers have opted for faux fur so as to limit the harm done to animals.

The simple, chic, and cute look is definitely coming back.

New York City is filled with enthusiastic and self-motivated individuals who are very much goal-oriented. The exuberance of each show and designer inspires the very best from all of us and we can only hope that in a few months, the excitement will only continue to grow.
