Discover the bags, clothing, and brands that you'll want to wear next season. Take a walk with us through the biggest fashion industry trade show, Coterie.
Every season, we walk through Coterie even though it absolutely kills our feet. Why? Because thousands of brands and designers display their wares for buyers and editors to pick through. Here's a look at the best of the best that we saw this time around:
Botkier is a big favorite of ours for good reason - each season they just get better and better. Case-in-point? The Ava bag above in key lime. (Read about Monica Botkier's vintage jewelry collection here if you haven't already)
And we die for Botkier's new shoes as well – especially the Oak shootie above, which will retail for around $295.
Made out of and inspired by only the most gorgeous natural materials, everything from Celestina is worthy of obsessing over.
While we especially love Celestina's clutches and new home collection, the necklace above took our breath away...
A peek at the main registration area.
Cynthia Rowley's Spring 2011 Show was so adorable and we were happy to take a closer look at the bar necklaces, and the cut-out details in the clothing at Coterie.
A heart-shaped purse? Why not?
Cynthia Rowley was one of the designers that did sheer correctly. We love the two layered dress looks above.
A gray selection from Fine Collection - where we wanted every tee, tank, and easy sweater.
Friendship-style metal and ribbon necklaces from Lee Angel in the best colors of the season.
The wall outside of the Theory booth featured looks of key stylists including Isabel Dupre and Kate Lanphear.
Porter Grey is totally on our radar and we met the designing sisters Alexandra and Kristen O’Neill this year at Coterie. Be sure to check back to StyledOn for a feature on them soon enough because we love what they're doing.
You know we love Rebecca Minkoff. Who doesn't? And now she's given us even more to love with a fantastic new shoe collection for Spring 2011.
This pump with the perforated, two-tone leather is perfect. We'll be pre-ordering a pair, thank you very much.
Camel and gray look good in her latest round of MAB and MAC handbags, but we really liked were the sequined bags...
Just like old men in Irish pubs, we can't get enough of the black & tan.
And of course, we saw Rebecca's clothing. We all want to wear it and next spring her long dresses and leather jackets will be the ones to snag.
Another designer we love to love? Ted Rossi. Ted and his partner Sebastian simply make the sickest, chic-est handbags and jewelry we've come across. More classic than trendy, we DIE for the way the military detailing was done on the bag above.
Another bag to snag? Ted Rossi's beige beauty complete with gunmetal hardware.
Always python and with Swarovski crsytals, Ted Rossi's bangles and bracelets start at under $50 - retail.
Treesje also surprised us with some fantastic bags including the one above, which was simple and refined, as well as the city-slick contrasting satchels below...
Zimmermann also brought the heat to Coterie with a booth overflowing with cool florals and digital prints in waves of gentle nuetrals and pretty pastels.
Which style or designer are looking forward to rocking next spring?
