From New York to London to Milan to Paris. I loved a lot of the collections for Spring/Summer 2013. There were favorites (Dior, Proenzo, Dries, Christopher Kane), but there were plenty of great looks to choose from across the board. Below are some highlights with a brief encapsulation of my thoughts.
 |
| Dries Van Noten |
Dries Van Noten: Always a favorite. Some called it "grunge goes couture", I call it brilliant design for women.
 |
| Alexander McQueen |
Alexander McQueen: Bees Knees? More like most fashionable beekeeper you've ever come across.
 |
| Altuzarra |
Altuzarra: Editors' favorite. Look out for those coats come spring.
 |
| Balenciaga |
Balenciaga: Sexy ruffles, structured ruffles.
 |
| Bottega Veneta |
Bottega Veneta: Vintage with a modern armor in the details. Dresses women will want to wear.
 |
| Burberry Prorsum |
Burberry Prorsum: Color and urban elegance.
 |
| Celine |
Celine: I got the pajama vibe, but ultra modern and strikingly sexy. I didn't care for the fuzzy slippers.

 |
| Proenzo Schouler |
Proenzo Schouler: This dress was one of my favorite looks of the season.
