It's no secret that we LOVE Nasty Gal here at MTV Style. From off-kilter back-to-school buys to early trend trys the Cali-based online retailer is a definite go-to around these parts. You can imagine, then, how ECSTATIC we were to be invited to the burgeoning brand's New York Fashion Week party - a celebration for both the Nasty Gal debut collection AND the launch of their print magazine Super Nasty! We EVEN got to chat with founder Sophia Amoruso (our collective idol and girl crush) about all the exciting news. #DEAD

Alexander Wang

Alexander Wang is a notorious boundary-pusher in fashion and consumate showman. Remember his last New York Fashion Week presentation? Not only did he have top models like Gisele Bündchen and one-time House of Style host Shalom Harlow closing out the show, but he also showcased a new collection of clothes that dared to take materials to places they don't often go (i.e. leather bubble vests, mesh turtlenecks that extend up to the nose, etc.). You'd think there was no way to top a show as shockingly austere or as entertaining. And then you watch this Spring 2013 showing. WOW.

There’s nothing like summer camp as a kid (I mean, the LiLo Parent Trap remake? Salute Your Shorts? Pick your poison), so we could hardly hold back our giddiness walking through Rachel Antonoff’s Spring 2013 New York Fashion Week presentation. Amid a winding path of astroturf and hedges, models played badminton, caught pretend butterflies, and lounged with picnic baskets in the designer’s collection of striped seersucker skirts, pleated shorts and breezy blouses. Transluscent oxfords and sandals, patterned visors and white, geometric nails completed the looks, all of which could head straight for the country club.

We're BIG fans of Mara Hoffman at MTV Style. The bright colors (even in the gloomier months!), the printed realness, the brain-petting symmetry - it's all totally our steez. And with her bringing in a varied crowd from Queen B Lil Kim, to her BFF Pamela Love, to our bb gurl Holland Roden, her designs are clearly widely appreciated. Naturally, her New York Fashion Week shows are hotly anticipated events for our entire staff. This season, with its luxe cording appliques, flirty cuts, and fresh Polynesian inspiration, was no exception. PLUS, there were Ukelele girls!

Charlotte Ronson

Summer as we know it this year may be slowly slipping away, but I know, come February, after Punxsutawney Phil predicts six more weeks of winter, I'll be shaking my fists, burning my tights, and daydreaming about this Spring 2013 Charlotte Ronson collection. This season for Ronson reads like a New York Fashion Week love letter to breezy beach afternoons and downtown summer nights. And when you shared a womb with a world-class DJ (also Roc-A-Fella Records' first rock act *dusts shoulders off*), your twin hooks you up with the perfect soundtrack to your designs. Samantha Ronson put together a careful playlist of tracks that use a majority breathy, ethereal vocals to channel the breezy summer air vibes of her twin Charlotte's pale color palette and floaty fabrics, but also driving baselines and nostalgic step-clap rhythm sections to complement the nods to classic bad girls (think Pink Ladies).

It was just a week ago that Nasty Gal announced that they would be showing their debut collection at New York Fashion Week this year. We were excited, as you can imagine, to see it in September, so imagine our surprise (and delight) when we discovered that the collection is already available for purchase online, and with free overnight shipping, no less! The eclectic retailer, which started as an eBay vintage shop before expanding to independent e-retail, has expanded with lightning quickness, and we're psyched to see their mix of sexy, sometimes very boundary pushing pieces with ultra cool, on trend pieces that they curate for their store reflected in a collection. Check out our favorite pieces after the jump!

Minnie Mouse

Minnie Mouse ears hit Australia's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival.

It's hard to say when exactly this Minnie Mouse fashion craze first kicked off. Was it because of Kreayshawn's pink metallic Minnie ears in her anti-luxury brand anthem "Gucci Gucci?" Or maybe it was the moment two pint-sized fashion besties pushed on a pair at Disneyland last year? Whatever the reason or moment of origin, Minnie and her trademark polka-dotted bow are irrefutably more in vogue than ever, as evidenced most recently by the crop of her signature ears that Gail Sorronda used for her most recent showing at Australia's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival.

It's that time of year again! As August just begins to relinquish its blazing hot stronghold, we know September is right around the corner. And what, pray tell, happens in September? NEW YORK FASHION WEEK, of course! And in September, the style extravaganza is officially kicked off with a major night of shopping for a cause: Fashion's Night Out on Thursday, September 6. The annual nationwide event is marked by stores staying open late, great deals, exclusive limited edition merch, and a GLUT of celebrity involvement. Don't believe us? Take a look at Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift fronting this year's FNO video campaign.

Nasty Gal

Apparently Nasty Gal is going to be at Fashion Week this season. No, we don't just mean on all the street style shutterbug candy. According to a new sweepstakes announcement from the brand, it looks like Iggy Azalea and Katie Holmes won't be the only fashionistas making their New York Fashion Week debuts this September. In just five years, the online retailer which began as an exclusively vintage eBay boutique expanded to the international success we know it to be today. Now, it seems the Nasty brand is growing from a hub of curated designs by others and brancing out into their own designs, launching their first collection just in time for NYFW.

Universitaet der Kuenste

Remember when we were all, "OMG, would you wear this JUMBO HAIR CLIP??" We told you about how these neon reimaginings of the childhood hair stand-by were the brainchild of Adia Kibur, and in our humble collective opinion, one part weird, three parts wonderful. Sure, they were oddball and even a bit gaudy, but there was a sweet nostalgia about these envelope-pushing hair accessories we really appreciated. Welp, looks like the snap clip silhouette has since found its way onto the international Fashion Week runways (specifically Berlin's) and is even bigger than before!

I love these two as a couple. What a festive way to celebrate two important events in their life. Mariah looks like a dream.
