It may be February and although we’re all dreaming up the perfect real (or imaginary) beach getaway and yearning for the warm spring days to come, the fashion world is at Lincoln Center thinking about fall and winter… of next year. Below are a few of our favorite looks from our favorite collections we’ve seen. I know it can be confusing, but these collections will not be available to be bought until later this year, as they are fall 2011. Here is a preview of what you have to look forward to next fall and winter:

Prabal Gurung: Powerful & Romantic

Donna Karan: Grace Kelly Elegance

Diane von Furstenberg (DVF): Aztec Strength

Oscar de la Renta:

Michael Kors:

Want to know what the color palate will be like for fall fashion? These are the top 10 pantones for this coming fall, 2011. The most common pantone used by fashion designers was deep teal. You’ll also see coming in at #6 is honeysuckle, which is also the number 1 pantone color for spring. Add honeysuckle hues to your spring wardrobe and they will also ease you into fall as well!

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City has long been a private event for industry executives, buyers and media. Last year a few brands started live-streaming their shows so any fashion-lover could watch the show and get a preview of what will be available to shop in the future. This year, many designers have opted to live-stream their shows. You can see a complied list below. The start times are listed below, but designers notoriously start 30 minutes after the scheduled starting time. Bookmark this page so you can get the links for each day of fashion week. Enjoy the shows!
