Max Azria didn't stray far from the color-blocking chiffons of his Spring 2012 collection for his Thursday show. Burnt oranges, deep teals, and patchwork furs conveyed a heavy retro vibe. The color palette was a mix of Mila Kunis' wardrobe from That '70s Show and the slinky Studio 54 silhouettes of Bianca Jagger.
One of the most affordable brands from Fashion Week, the line isn't one to focus on avant-garde ideas, smartly offering day-to-night pieces mixed with versatile work wear (as seen in the sophisticated ease of these silky trousers). The play with sheer fabrics was subtly sexy as seen in the nonchalant reveal of skin through translucent pleats as the models strolled down the runway.

Orient Express: Jason Wu Fall 2012
Wu, traditionally known for his ladylike aesthetic, surprised us with a collection that toes the line between feminine and masculine. For his Fall 2012 lineup, the young designer returned to his roots, drawing inspiration from the Orient à la Marlene Dietrich in Shanghai Express. He gave the traditional cheongsam a modern twist, vamping it up with a sexy keyhole neckline. From the Mao-inspired jackets to retro Chinese-inspired sunglasses, the entire line reflected his attention to detail.
There is certainly no questioning Wu's tailoring skills—from the impeccably crafted capes to the carefully draped gowns, the collection was red and gold sartorial perfection. With such a strong and varied showing of both daytime separates and red carpet-worthy gowns, we expect that Wu's star-studded clientele are happy customers indeed.

Fluid Fashion: Doo.Ri Fall 2012
Doo-Ri Chung captures serene elegance like no other. Don't know the Doo.Ri label? Don't worry, you will: The brand's capsule collection for Macy's is due to launch February 15th and the Fall 2012 collection may just embolden you to fight the eBay vultures to get your hands on the affordable goods.
Friday, the designer showcased what she does best—masterful draping with luxe fabrics. This season Chung combined her signature languid knits with charming tailored details seen in crisp collars, work-perfect pants and select toppers. She even gave a nod to this year's leather craze with a black coat and high-waist trousers that still eloquently flowed with the rest of her pieces.
It looks like Chung could be challenging Donna Karan's seat as the queen of sophisticated comfort.
