Fashion Week’s in full swing here in New York and to kick off, I’m sharing some photos I took at this morning’s Fall Winter 2012 presentation at Steven Alan.

The theme encompassed 1940’s Mexico City and the mix of metallics, textures and warm detailing translated into a beautifully cohesive collection throughout. This brand is one of my favorites (not because I did a bit of consulting work with them late last year), but because the team behind the clothing is one of the nicest, smartest, most down-to-earth teams I’ve encountered in the fashion business.

The backdrop mimicked cement in a soft and fluid way, providing the subtle texture needed to bounce off the fabrics. It made you feel like you could be within a cityscape or even an abstract painting.

And finally, I’ll leave you with the lovely and chic Maleeha Khan who’s recently joined the SA family to run social creative content.
