Mercedez Benz Fashion Week Fall 2011 is over. But not many people knew that you could see videos of the collections and backstage on Youtube.

Many shows were even streaming live on the Internet; as will be the case during London, Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks.

Power to the people! I didn’t do a day to day round up because, well everyone was doing that, but I’m working on some mood boards on looks we can wear now inspired from the present Fall 2011 collections. It’s going to be hot and very budget friendly.

Here are some of our favorites: for more go to the MBFW Youtube Chanel.

Michael Kors FALL 2011 COLLECTION, MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK
MIchael Kors is one of my favorite fashion designers, every season he makes clothes that arent just for stick figures, peices that can transition from boardroom to weekend shopping. He’s really in tune with what women want, time after time. I love him and his pants suits is to your body as is butter on warm toast; divine.

Diane von Furstenberg FALL 2011 COLLECTION, MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK
Leave it to DVF to show us that the wrap dress after all these years can never go out of style. Like Yves Saint Laurent is so famous for saying “Fashion Fades but Style is eternal”

Derek Lam FALL 2011 COLLECTION, MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK

Prabal Gurung FALL 2011 COLLECTION, MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK

SOME ADDITIONAL VIDEOS FROM STYLE.COM
Actually my favorite is this one! Phillip Lim Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear – “Green is the color of money” he says- funnnnnyyy

Proenza Schouler Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear – Look at the textures! OMG so inventive, they were inspired by Indian blankets.

Calvin Klein Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear – Listen to Nicole Phelps from Style.com – One of the best fashion writers of all time. If you don’t know she writes those bomb ass reviews during fashion weeks. As for the collection it is simple, perhaps you can find many of the styles in your local Mango. But CK has always been well, simple.

I was a bit disappointed I couldn’t find a good Victoria Beckham Video, as the collection has really matured and in a way embraced real women bodies with a lot of flowy yet stylish dresses and bold colors. Not to mention the bags were to die for.

Hope you enjoy them all.

The ad Shot by Steven Meisel, featuring Eva Mendes for the new Calvin Klein Obsession is apparently so hot and steamy that the even the TV censorship folks are getting hot and bothered. They have refused to allow the ad to run, so Calvin Klein is taking it to the internet instead. Great Move.

As it turns out WWD just released an article with details of a reception event held in honor of Mrs. Obama Tuesday night in NYC. Tickets to the cocktail reception at the Sikkema Jenkins & Co. Gallery cost $1,000 to $2,300, and all the fashion big wigs were in attendance, not just Andre Leon Tally, but Calvin Klein( with his daughter Marci who also held an after party dinner at his house that ticketed $10,000 per table), Anna Wintor, Catherine Malandrino and Tory Burch to name a few. Oh and Zac Posen was there in his Tee shirt supporting Barak Obama. It seems everyone was really excited to meet her. I think they all just want to be the ones to dress her if she become the next first lady.

Behnaz Sarafpour said “You just know that if she becomes first lady, she’d be the kind of first lady who would be into fashion and it would be really exciting to watch her and dress her.”

I think she’s such a confident woman she’ll look good in just about anything.
