New York Fashion Week 2012: Thakoon Fall 2012 (PHOTOS)

HuffPost Social Reading

Who Was There: Kyra Sedgwick, Anna Wintour, Jessica Hart and Joe Zee

The Skinny: There was something old New York to Thakoon's fall 2012 collection. Perhaps it was the glamour of being in the city's iconic Plaza Hotel, but the designer offered retro, ladylike shapes (think Christian Dior's bustles) and classic pieces to invest in like Mongolian furs and trench coat dresses in muted tones and neon brights. Volume was also key as shown through paper-bag skirts paired with rounded shoulder tops adorned with crinkled leather.
