NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

What better time to be in New York City than during Fashion Week!, with Pantone Color Institute announcing Tangerine Tango as the color of 2012 (along with plenty more IT colors that can be found on their website), trends seem to be continuing the bright colors of spring into slightly warmer earthier tones for fall! Which means I can rock some of my deeper spring hues right into September, who doesn't love a smooth transition.
Vantan Design Institute, the first design school able to showcase it's student's at Fashion Week, presented Vantan Toyko.  Yuya Kabohara (one of the students chosen to showcase) has completely caught my attention.  I don't think that this is the last we will see of Yuya or Vantan for that matter. VANTAN TOKYO: Runway Photos Fall 2012
Joy Cioci brought in Tangerine like tones and hints of Olympian Blue!  Not to mention some serious prints!  Tracey Reese seems to have caught the color bug as well.  Her line has got Tangerine Tango covered while packing some serious purple punch.  Looks like Pantone was right; along with graphic shapes, bold prints!  With a few days left, will the rest of Fashion Week's designer's follow suit, bringing us color this fall? Or will some of the big heavy hitter's still left to present their lines(Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and many more!) change the game; having us rethink that totally color splattered wardrobe for fall?

Follow the trends, designers, and everything else Fashion Week has to offer here!
