Rachel Comey is full of surprises of late. This season, the typically mens-inspired Comey took on feminine formalwear.

Tapping into the fantastical, Rodarte's arrival is studded with structured silhouettes that complicate and aggrandize the human form. But instead of getting lost in the fantasy, the ladies locate it in our contemporary reality, wielding the power of geometry with digital prints upon a muted yet electric color palette.

It was difficult not to get distracted by the Google glasses at DVF's spring show, donned by the designer and many of her models to film the show's prep for a documentary.

Badgley Mischka's runway was casual wear reimagined in chiffon and organza, in soft shades of blush, dove, ivory and nude. Their peerless body-hugging, backless evening gowns shimmered like spun sugar in the same delicate tones.

Calvin Klein solidified the black-and-white moment in New York, sendingout a series of clean and carefully contoured dresses that took theirinspiration from high-performance cars. Unexpected mixtures of mesh, leather and silk made for minimalism that was anything but boring.

At Theory, Olivier Theyskens continued the Spring trend of textured white and dove grays paired with black, lace-up booties, and quilted bags.

At his menswear show, Tommy Hilfiger mixed collegiate blazers with striped sweaters and turtle-necks for a healthy dose of American prep. 

With his second line, Marc Jacobs mixes past and present, Molly Ringwald and Dakota Fanning. Jacobs goes from two extremes of the color spectrum with cinched waists, full knee-length skirts, speckled socks, mosaic patterns, and thrifted sweater prints take on salmon pinks, roasted oranges, navy, and black.

One genre of music that you will never hear at a Jason Wu show, DJ Wilson Chan assures us, is "cacophonic death metal from Tampa."

"She could beat you up," says 25-year-old Wes Gordon of his spring 2013 woman. "There's still something feminine there, something quite chic and elegant, but she has kind of an icy-ness to her."

Alex Wang surprised everyone by sending Liberty Ross down the runway. The hyphenated keys words in this show were cut-out and glow-in-the-dark.

Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez made fashion history in 2002 when Barneys bought their entire Parsons senior thesis collection, which would become the first Proenza Schouler collection. Last night, Proenza Schouler graduated to its first store of its own—on Madison Avenue and 69th, no less—where their neighbors include Dolce & Gabbana, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Tom Ford, Cartier, and Prada. Valentino (whose parent company owns a 45% share of Proenza Schouler) will be opening a flagship store across the street.

The Jason Wu show opened with Carolyn Murphy, clad in a black leather dress with a netted insert just above the navel, and sporting navy nails. 

Richard Chai's presentation began with a mix of light, fresh colors and patterns, which gradually transitioned into darker greys and taupe, and closed with green-gold sequined and gold lamé  dresses.  

This season, Thom Browne's show was all about wind up dolls—part Lewis Carroll and part Marie Antoinette in pearl-embroidered, architectural gowns and plaid skirt suits, paired with striped stockings, silver ballet shoes, and top-knots.

Ralph Lauren turned to the torero for inspiration this season. There were plenty of ruffles and slanted chapeaux and embroidered jackets, such as Hilary Rhoda's orange-red suede jacket with matching wide-legged trousers.

Model, DJ, and downtown designer darling: there's not much in the realm of "cool" that Mandy Coon hasn't conquered.
