New York Fashion Week has officially kicked off and everyone is buzzing waiting to see these Fall 2013 collections. Without a doubt, the most exciting fashion week. For me, it'll be live stream after live stream whenever I can catch one.
The first collection I've had a chance to look at is Red Valentino's which debuted yesterday.
This collection was adorable! Very fairytale-like with big inspiration drawn from Hansel & Gretel, Alice in Wonderland etc. Valentino knows that the Valentino Red customer is probably reasonably young and wants to have a little fun playing dress up. This has clearly been reflected in the romantic colours and bow detailing. The model looks as close to porcelain and doll-like as possible with her icy white skin, alice band and below-the-knee stockings, not to mention the illustrative, changing backdrop!

Hansel & Gretel, much? Lovely white tweed enhanced with red leather details and matching clutch. Ballerina pumps to match. |

Mid-length checked coat with a pleated skirt. Love the matching fur collar in an "enchanting" jade. |

This look is a bit costume-ish but I like it. A white vest with a black dress finished off with a tied bow. |

Something a bit more simple and wearable. A quilted blazer-jacket and skirt with Hunter-style boots. Love the alice band with this look, makes it all the more cute. |

The glamour look. Love the polka dotted A-line skirt with a big black bow belt paired with a cream/gold full sleeved shirt and blue floral detailing. |

Strapless, denim dress with frontal bow. Would be a gorgeous summer look. |

Mustard yellow is really working here. The crotchet jumper with a subtle white shirt and high-waisted miniskirt and bow belt is uber-sweet. Innocent to the max. Nude stockings and a paler coloured heel are used to mute the colour palette. |

Stunning, evening romantic look. The black and white contrast with the huge roses on the shoes and dress pull this look together. I'd buy in an instant! |
