Kate Rushing, a contributor to StyleMinutes, a Web site devoted to fashion which also tracks models' appearances in runway shows, compiled data on the racial diversity of the big four fashion weeks. And in the season just ended, nearly nine out of ten models booked at New York, London, Milan and Paris fashion weeks…

The Fall-Winter 2013 shows have just finished up in New York. This season saw 151 shows and live presentations during fashion week's eight days — making it the biggest and busiest NYFW we've ever covered. But it wasn't very racially diverse.

So many thoughts about yesterday's Marc Jacobs show. Like the Marc By Marc Jacobs line, the fall 2013 Marc Jacobs collection looks back at the 1970s. But instead of buttoned-up Lily Tomlin secretary dresses, the styling you'll see here has a punk edge: The models wore Joan Jett-ish wigs and hit the runway looking like…

Very military-chic, if that's a thing. It is now. It was menswear, writ large for ladies — oversized jackets, giant belt buckles, and patent leather boots with chunky heels. Still, it was far from shapeless, and lots of the separates look extremely wearable. As in, get on my body right now.

Stylist, designer, editor, pilot, school teacher, lover, mother, and epic swing dancer (psych!), Rachel Zoe sent her Fall 2013 collection down the runway yesterday. The show notes stated her inspiration as "rock 'n' roll underground London" and "the equestrian lifestyle". The Sex Pistols merging with fox hunting — classic …

Anna Sui brought the funk to NY's fashion week yesterday; highlighting plenty of A-line dresses, bright patterned sweaters, and mix-and-match separates (with ties!). The collection is inspired by the graphic aesthetic of Godard's films, and imbued with Sui's favorite colors and playfulness.

Ralph Lauren is known for doing luxe Americana, but the fall 2013 collection he showed today — as New York Fashion week draws to a close — had European influences. Some of the hats seemed Russian; the carpet bags looked like from elsewhere in Eastern Europe; there were Spanish ruffles and French berets. Oh, and in case …

Yesterday's runway presentation of the fall 2013 J. Mendel collection featured slinky Oscar-ready gowns, cozy Aspen-ready sweaters, and a lot of fur. Fur vests, fur jackets, fur trim, a fur bag. Some of the dresses were beautiful and ready for the red carpet; others (the brown satin one, for instance) looked like a…

The collection Michael Kors showed for fall 2013 had a slightly space-age vibe, thanks to reflective fabrics and shield-like sunglasses. But there were also weird camouflage prints, intense neon hues, and working-gal tweedy suits. Oh, and zippers. And belts. And peplum mullet skirts. It was all over the place, yet…

The British designer is a gown genius, and she knows women's bodies. And with flowing chiffons and pretty pastels, she also knows how to turn ladies into fairy princesses. Who doesn't want to descend into a ballroom in one of these beauties? Of course, Packham's fall collection was all wandering the halls of the Palace …
