Classic American sportswear? With a twist? Well, yes and no. Slightly oversized, in barely there shades of grey, blue ,and butter, this collection focused on wardrobe staples that every woman needs ? but oh so Marc. Textured knits paired back to pants in soft corduroy or brocade. The coats of the season are all here from dramatic collars to the smartest coat ensemble I've seen in a while. And what about the revival of the evening hood? Twisted classics ? that's what it is and I love them all!

Ralph Lauren sent out the stylish clothes his customer expects from him. Luxurious cashmere was the fabric of choice for perfect dresses in grey, and easy bathrobe-style coats in purple. The season's must-have cardigan coat looked 'very Ralph' in a knit Navajo blanket pattern. A Buffalo plaid shirt never looked so chic with sleeves rolled up and paired back to a feather-appliqued skirt. But it was the gold beaded evening skirt matched with a simple cashmere top that spoke volumes about style ? Ralph's way.

Peter Som's debut collection was just aces! There's a new breed of Blass 'gals' that will flip over multi-pattern cropped jackets, vests, and full skirt looks, playful cashmere tops matched with satin skirts, tweed embroidered day dresses, a clutch coat in pearl lame, and a super ruffled entrance maker. Peter, what a colossal collection!
