Alberta Ferretti Fall 2015 MFW
The backdrop of Alberta Ferretti's presentation was stunning: a time-lapse sunrise in wintry woods. New day rising. What a gorgeous, optimistic point for a fashion show to start.

Thom Browne Fall 2015 RTW
Next week, the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum in New York shuts down its current exhibition, Death Becomes Her: A Century of Mourning Attire. After Thom Browne read about the show, he wouldn't let himself see it. The title was inspiration enough. And he didn't want anyone from his atelier to go, either—no preconceptions as they all approached the new collection.
Vera Wang Fall 2014 RTW
Vera Wang, wedding dresser to the stars, has gone grunge. Stranger things have happened on a runway, but that tee definitely qualified as a surprise. To everyone, perhaps, except Wang. "People think of me for romance," she said backstage. "But there's always the old references to what our brand stands for. There's a tomboy, male energy mixed in with a sensuality."

Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2014 RTW Collection
Gabbana described the collection as "an unconscious dream," in the sense that the clothes embodied the blend of the real and the irrational that can only be found in dreams. Perhaps that was why the designers invoked Federico Fellini, whose movies blazed trails in that territory over and over again. But there was scarcely Fellini's flavor of surreal exuberance here, unless you count some odd alpaca wraps. Rather, there was actually a pretty grounded, earthy feel to the collection; it was at its most ethereal when the almond blossoms started to fall.
