I know, I know, New York Fashion Week has barely begun, but we're already discovering some side-splitting sartorial material, folks. We NEED to discuss what we spotted yesterday at Degen's fall 2012 presentation—this knitted booby tee. Now, don't get us wrong, much props to all designers, among them Lindsay Degen, for being fresh and unorthodox, but we cannot help but see this and think a couple things: First off, this is like Regina George's cut-out boob tank top taken to a WHOLE other level. And secondly, this entire crafty ensemble has that homespun feeling that looks very sad Etsy boobies. Oof.

Honor Shows Electric Colors For Fall At New York Fashion Week

For a newcomer, Honor is nailing New York Fashion Week dead like an old pro with this fall 2012 showing. The blossoming name sent silhouettes down the runway that fall directly in step with the latest collections of fashion's powerhouses: longer hemlines, higher necklines, cinched waists on longline torsos, but always with a very Honor-specific spin. Conservative shapes were refreshed with electric hues in cobalt blues, neon limes, and vibrant fuschias. A grip of impressively creative thinking trotted down last night's catwalk, from diagonal intersecting tiers, kaleidoscope prints, and artfully unexpected layering choices. We loved what we saw, and can't wait to watch Honor grow and evolve. Definitely a name we ALL will be keeping our eyes on!

If you haven't already been following Pamela Love's boho chic meets new wave tribal jewelry collection, you have so much to catch up on! She's the master of mixing metals with colorful, earthy stones in undeniably original shapes and sizes, which is why we had to stop by her fall 2012 presentation in Milk Studios. The models were clad in unbuttoned brown overalls and worn-in white tees smothered with Pamela Love goodies. (Plus, we're PRETTY sure that's dirt on their faces.) The first look featured a gigantic gold collar with turquoise detail, Aztec-y triangle gold chain necklaces, stacked cuffs, and pointy spear-shaped metal rings. The second look is all about the statement necklace and oversized geometric arm cuffs, which, paired with these workman's ensembles, gives us a serious industrial revolution vibe. While we were checking out the steampunk-inspired pieces, Soft Circle played some equally industrial music from nothing but electronic drums and analog synthesizers. Hisham Bharoocha, who hails from the experimental noise band Black Dice, said he made the set based on Pamela's direction to use industrial sounds with an art deco feel.

And we're off! New York Fashion Week has officially begun, which means we'll be spotting tons of celebs in the front row AND around Lincoln Center. We're only one day in, and we've already peeped some crazy-cool ensembles on Angela Simmons, Alexa Chung, Theophilus London, and Olivia Palermo. Angela stopped by the BCBG Max Azria fall 2012 show in a long sleeve, leather panel black dress with an insane gold plated Giuseppe Zanotti choker body piece and pony wedges. She added a pop of color to her ensemble with a bright crimson lip and bold seafoam green nails. Is it just us, or are you getting a serious Matrix vibe from Ms. Simmons' slicked-back hair look? We likey! Alexa Chung sat front row at the Honor show in a winter-ready double breasted peacoat ensemble. She paired a thick blue cable knit sweater with a black skater skirt, opaque tights, and snakeskin heels. She looked totally comfy-cool with her minimal makeup and no-nonsense hair.

You know you're about to be swept up in the consuming maelstrom that is New York Fashion Week when you enter the tents to see the BCBG Max Azria show. Not only does the Hollywood-friendly label typically kick off Fashion Week, it's always filled to capacity and boppin' with enough front row lovelies to keep the cameras flashing. For Max Azria's fall 2012 show, in addition to a bevy of bloggers including The Man Repeller (aka Leandra Medine) and The Glamourai (also known as Kelly Framel), Run's House alum Angela Simmons vamped it up in a black dress and metal harness, and Maria Menounos and Food Network fave Giada De Laurentis gabbed in blue BCBG dresses. And what about the fashion, you ask? It was dark, color-blocked, and incredibly furry.

To officially kick off New York Fashion Week, amfAR hosted a star-studded gala that brought out some of our favorite fashion-y gals. Leighton Meester, Alexa Chung, Janelle Monae, and Lindsay Lohan came out to support the Foundation for AIDS Research in their red carpet-ready ensembles, but, um, have we gone colorblind? All four ladies opted for entirely black and white ensembles! Leighton Meester was decked out in head-to-toe black Louis Vuitton goodness. She wore a plunging belted dress with fur trim, a gold chain clutch, and ankle strap platforms. Leighton sported soft waves with light fringe and barely there makeup. Alexa Chung ALSO wore LV for her ensemble but opted for all white instead. She looked '60s mod-chic in her layered satin top and studded floral skirt paired with gold toe pointy heels and a screenprinted bag. She stuck to minimal makeup and a tousled bedhead for her beauty look.

Dear Rachel Comey and Vorhees. This is exactly how we would dream our perfect New York Fashion Week experience to begin. Not only are we treated to a wonderful new season of clothes to ogle and lust after, but to be introduced to fresh garments underscored by a LIVE performance?? *wipes away single happy tear* Our hearts are overflowing with so much unbridled fash + music collision JOY that we can hardly contain ourselves. Being treated to the ethereal moany synths of Vorhees IN THE FLESH while images of Rachel Comey's mod conservative collection traipsing down the runway wash over your brain is so much more than we could have ever asked for. From fascinating illusion garter socks, structured clutches with bar handles, the BEST day-to-day shoe game, and that exquisite tangerine funnel neck coat, Rachel Comey nailed the details and will surely recur many times over in our accessories wrap-up at the end of the week. But real talk, it's taking a whole LOT of fibers of my being to confine myself to this browser window instead of travelling even further down the Vorhees/Dana Wachs rabbit hole that I've already begun to dig.

Do you hear heels clacking, repressed yawns, and banshee screams coming from the distant caverns of our closets? It's the sound of New York Fashion Week, everyone! And we're elated to kick things off with one of our favorite indie labels, Steven Alan, which was presented bright and early this morning at Pier 59 Studios along the Hudson River in Manhattan. The mood was chipper, the coffee plentiful, and everything in this Mexican road trip-inspired collection was begging to jump into our wardrobes immediately. Steven Alan started his business as a super cool downtown retail shop selling other designer wares, but he soon morphed into a designer himself, creating one of the most wearable collections for both men and women that mixes casual classics with aloof cosmopolitan flair. For fall 2012, Alan is all about driving along a dusty road blasting vintage Colombian Cumbia music while your red skirt whips around in the breeze. Also, there are fedoras, pops of red, and battered leather handbags aplenty.

Whitney Port Makes Solo NYFW Runway Debut With Whitney Eve Collection

Whitney Port announced she'll be doing her first ever Whitney Eve runway show at New York Fashion Week, and we could NOT be more excited. We've been following Whit since she was a wee Teen Vogue intern on The Hills (with Lauren Conrad!), and then followed her as she moved across the country to begin her own fash-filled NYC journey on The City. And, I'm sorry, but can we just say one thing real quick? It's about dang time! Whitney works hard, plays nice, and, um, haiii, we love her Whitney Eve line. Judging by the Fall 2011 lookbook from last year, we should be prepared to expect tons of vibrant, Aztec-y prints that come in everything from crop tops to harem pants to cozy blazers. Her contemporary Whitney Eve collection features "charming menswear-inspired pieces" and "embodies a whimsical aesthetic toughened up with masculine tailoring," according to a press release. But what does WHITNEY think about all of this amazingness?!

Runways models and stylish celebs weren't the only ones dressed to impress at this season's New York Fashion Week. Fashion Week is a time to bust out your most fabulous everything, an excuse to mull painstakingly over each and every detail from the width of a lapel to the precise hue of red (Scarlet? Tomato? Bordeaux??) to ensure when you step out to Lincoln Center or Milk or Chelsea Piers, you're dressed to the NINES. All week long we took to the streets to capture the beautiful and wacky satorial adventures of all the well-heeled Fashion Week participants. While the Spring 2012 shows may be over for Manhattan, we can still reminisce about each expertly crafted ensemble, every carefully selected accessory and all the fabulous people behind them with this crafty little homage. Check out the video after the jump to see what cute and crazy outfits we spotted hitting the pavement for Fashion Week!
