Tapping into some of the menswear trends we've see on the runways this past week, Ricardo Seco paid homage to his recent move to Williamsburg, crossing "the intersection of Hassidic and hipster," as he said, for the collection he showed last night at Eyebeam Gallery. Merging a layered disheveledness with a dark palette of blacks, grays and whites with shots of green, luxe fabrics like leather and cashmere, velvet and wool with cotton, and oversized jacket silhouettes tempered by skinny trouser shapes, the clothes were styled with yamulkes and pe'ots to acknowledge Seco's interpretation of "Urban Orthodox."

NYC Fashion Week is almost a wrap...Wednesday's schedule was a mix of talent...emerging name w Brandon Sun, powerhouse designer w Nanette Lepore...Hollywood gal Rachel Zoe...France's luxe leader J. Mendel...

A smiling Mickey Drexler had reason to be happy this morning at the J. Crew presentation at The Studio. The women's collection mixed trends of vibrant patterns, colors and cool accessories, all inspired by the design director’s recent trip to Marrakesh. The men’s wear was classic J. Crew, very traditional, easy to wear. Best piece men's? The patched and somewhat distressed oatmeal-hued sweatpants. Best piece women's? The mosaic tile vibrant coat.
