Mandy Coon Runway Collection NYFW 2012/13

Mandy Coon, a recent discovery of mine, has a completely wearable Fall collection. That’s no easy feat, as most collections I look at want to show off their creativity more than their wearability. This Fall collection achieves both, and I’m sure her clothes will fly off the rack at Opening Ceremony. An F.I.T. alumni, this is her 4th season being shown at NYFW, and I admire the evolution and growth of her style.

I am officially obsessed with the 2 tone black in the back, white in the front aesthetic – similar to Pedro Lourenço’s Pre-Fall collection. We’re onto a trend, which I intend to perpetuate by creating some of my own. Plus this sheath dress is good for any body type – makes you look slimmer.

More with the 2 tone, this time bilaterally. The print was manipulated from a pattern on moth’s wings. Keep the limbs encased and warm. I’d love to know what fabric those pants are – subtle shine – are they stretchy?

Mirror image moth wings, collared dress. Yup, I’d wear this anywhere.

Same print, different color way. I like the pleated detail in the front, repeated in the collection in different ways.

Here we see another evolution – pleated peplum on the side, and what looked like the negative of the moth wings pattern.

A copy of the opening dress she sent out, but she tweaked the silhouette and added more body in the skirt. Bicep length leather gloves would go great under a cape.

The lone bag in the show, black on black works for me. I love all the shoes as well. I’m glad she did at least one pair of printed leggings, which, surprisingly, are not finished their journey on the fashionable arc just yet.

If you like these, check out her complete collection on Style.com – as well as her previous efforts – I’m a fan of her first collection and disappointed I didn’t discover her until now.

You can check out her website for more info on leather bunnies and her online shop!

That bunny looks like the one Max had in the photo shoot we did.
