We relish the excitement of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Fall 2012, as a dizzying, somewhat dyslexic time, when we bundle up in our winter's wool and fur, while bustling by the boutiques on Madison and Fifth Avenue, brimming with the bright fashions of early spring and resort, simultaneously scurrying to survey the styles sashaying the runways for next fall.

You can't start a conversation about NYFW Fall 2012 accessories without mentioning the fabulously crazy fur hats at the Marc Jacobs show last night. Whether you were inspired or simply entertained by their intentional oversize, you have to agree with me-- they made a statement! And that is the beauty of accessories on the runway; they most often make the obvious point about a collection, in this case Marc's play on oversize and the Dickens era.

Red embroidery shaped their torsos and luminous brocades cascaded down their backs. The models glided down the runway of the Plaza's hall, their faces glowing, their hair just messy enough to conjure up images of nymphs emerging from a wood.

he Monday before New York fashion week, at 11am prompt, Vogue's editorial team religiously met to discuss the upcoming season. Much the impatient leader, Anna Wintour, my boss, always wanted to have access to 7th Avenue's hidden secrets before they hit the runway.

Fashion week for me is the busiest week of the year and it's a whirlwind of bookings, fashion shows, events and non stop craziness. First up last night, was MILK STUDIOS and the Wu Tang Clan.

Strong, powerful, successful...those are the images that came to mind today as DKNY, Diane von Furstenberg, Victoria Beckham and Derek Lam filled their runways with clothing meant for sophisticated women who take work and play very seriously.

Spring 2012 is all about colorblocking, and by the looks of some of the beginning shows of Fall 2012, next season will be as well. Almost every look at BCBG Max Azria involved an element of colorblock, and even the wide stripes at Richard Chai love seemed large enough to lump them in.

It's only the end of day two at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, but the color palette for the season has claimed its dominance. Wines, maroons, and rusts lead the charge in a deeply autumnal color palette. Greens range from dark forest to hinting at peacock blue to a dull chartreuse.

While the rest of the city continues to celebrate NEw York's crowning achievement winning the Superbowl, those in the fashion industry have just embarked upon their own festivities. Yesterday marked day one of Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week, and appropriately so, NEw York Giants' own Victor Cruz (the talented wide receiver who sealed Sunday's victory) joined me in unveiling the fourth season at Lincoln Center.

If sewing elf shoes out of felt was innovative fashion, I was a mini McQueen at 7 years old. I assume that my younger cousin Ryan, who I made model said shoes, felt differently. But it was then, maybe even in that very Michigan moment, that my path had begun to reveal itself. The one that, 18 years later, led me to New York City, into Vera Wang's studio -- where I spent the next 7 years collecting experience and confidence -- to tomorrow at 2pm: the debut of my first fashion line, {EM} Reservoir.
