2012 NY Fashion Week in Review: Top Trends for Fall

Sashay away. As the tents come down at New York Fall Fashion Week, let's take a quick look at what's trending for fall 2012. You know, because September is right around the corner.

Black and Blue: One of my favorite color combinations, black and blue looks were seen on the runways at the  DKNY (below), Carolina Herrera, and Preen shows.

Burgundy: I'm not going to say "burgundy is the new black." But I'm not saying it only because Marie Claire already has. Burgundy went down the runways at the Alexander Wang, Nanette Lapore, Tory Burch (seen below), Christian Siriano, and DVF shows.

All That Glitters: If it glittered, sparkled, or shined like the sun, you saw it on runways at the Jenny Packham, Carolina Herrera, Reem Acra, and Naeem Khan (below) shows.

Winter White: White after Labor Day? Si se puede. Winter white went down the runways at the Derek Lam (below), Alexander Wang, and Peter Som shows.

Military: Don't be surprised if you feel the urge to drop and give someone 20 this fall. Jason Wu (below), Suno, Prabal Gurung, Rag and Bone, Tommy Hilfiger, and Posh Spice Victoria Beckham all featured military inspired designs.

Luxe coats and outerwear, reptile prints and sheer designs were also trending on the runways for fall. I'll admit that I am not terribly excited to see military accents get another day in the sun. And I love winter white, but it does not love me. Nor does it love coffee. Sequins and glitter, however? Sign. Me. Up. If it sparkles like a bad Vegas nightclub, I am all over it. What say you, friends? Is there anything you are excited to see this fall?
