February 5th marked the beginning of New York Fashion Week, and, as always, I’ve had my eyes glued to prominent fashion websites for first looks at each collection. Admittedly, I’m a little apprehensive about the androgynous and boxy trends that seem so pervasive. In fact, some shows could have just as well been a part of men’s fashion week. But, I digress....

In the midst of all of that, however, there were many shining stars offering beautiful interpretations of feminine lines and fall palettes. DVF kept it boho; Carolina Herrera, old school; Kate Spade, witty. Marchesa, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs – the list goes on. I was especially mesmerized by Naeem Khan’s Byzantine- and Art Deco-inspired collection. Glamorous and shimmering, it’s the perfect fodder for the eveningwear obsessed.

Naeem Khan outdid himself, yet again, for Fall. The designer, known for his red-carpet following and couture-like beadwork, showed an opulent Fall collection that was inspired by the Byzantine Empire and Erté's illustrations from the twenties—both themes ultimately worked in his favor. – Brittany Adams, Style.com
