Favorite collections: Isabel Toledo for Anne Klein was amazing. In only the second season, she showed the beginning of what promises to be a must-see show. Her hand-painted pieces were the most imaginative prints of the whole week. I loved Rodarte for being luxury fantasy with softness and edge all in one collection. Narciso Rodriguez had his best collection to date. Behnaz Sarafpour's mix of luxurious organic fabrics and natural dye prints were beautifully executed.

Must-haves for spring: Dresses, especially long to the floor for day, look good; A-line full short skirts; shirtdresses, particularly in white; anything in a bold color; anything printed; full shorts; high-waisted pants, and belts.

Young designers: Alexander Wang; Band of Outsiders had a very good first presentation, and Chloë Sevigny's collection for Opening Ceremony was so cute and stylish.

What's new?: I found a lot of inspiration and newness. Silhouettes were much more fluid. I loved the longer hemlines in dresses, there were lots of great color and prints.

Favorite collections: Michael Kors' take on classic American sportswear and beautiful flowy dresses and gowns in the season's sherbet-inspired colors just seemed right. Zac Posen's gowns were phenomenal and I loved Rag & Bone's new slimmer-cropped pant. Diane von Furstenberg delivered exactly what you would expect from her — beautiful, feminine, inspired, happy, feel-good clothes — that you would bring on a fabulous vacation.

Spring must-haves: Tribal-print dresses; sherbet colors; safari-inspired; softer suiting.

Young designers: Katy Rodriguez is the vintage queen, but we love her collection. I'm looking forward to seeing Daryl K's new line, Kerrigan. Heather Schiff's jewelry and accessories line from India and Ileana Makri's new symbol collection of jewelry are fabulous.

Rate the week: It was a successful fashion week. The most exciting thing for us was all the amazing colors that we saw. It was so refreshing to see the Crayola brights and the balance of clear pastels and pale grays and mushrooms.
