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.

We’re always going gaga over fashion accessories and w’re presently loving the Derek Lam Handbag for its sheer simplicity and beauty.

The Nadia Leather Hobo, is a very clean and crisply designed brown leather hobo fit to wear to work, or for everyday running around. It’s not as loosely structured as many other hobos or carry -alls so it goes perfectly with an office attire, without sacrificing style.

The quality of the leather looks like it will just last forever, which makes sense because at $1,250.00 (at Saks) it should be one of those investment handbags you don’t look back on, not even if you have to move back in with your parents for missing the rent – at least you can look back and say it’s worth it, right?
