Even though the concept of trend forecasting is essential to fashion's longevity and keeps many a stylish eye employed, nothing makes me happier than being blown away by a completely unexpected sartorial move. Case in point: Charlotte Ronson at New York Fashion Week. Known for siding with more organic patterns, fabrics, and florals that say pretty over punk, today's runway stomped with curvaceous cut-outs, tie-up corsets, and leather everything. Albeit no one in fashion likes to age, we may just have to admit that the Charlotte Ronson girl may, in fact, have grown up from girlhood to gamine. Two leather-gloved thumbs up.
