While New York Fashion Week's designers are clearly capable of sending gorgeous (and sometimes odd) looks down the runway, many of them aren't as successful when it comes to their personal style.
Michael Kors is famous for his basic uniform: a black T-shirt, blazer and dark denim (though he stepped it up at his Spring 2013 show, switching out blue jeans for a pair of black bottoms). But he's not the only designer to opt for head-to-toe black for the final walk: Alexander Wang, Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte and Marc Jacobs also wore dark, monochromatic looks. Others, however, took advantage of the opportunity to sport standout pieces from their collection (see Anna Sui, Giovanna Randall and Charlotte Ronson, for example). And while many male designers (like Joseph Altuzarra and Olivier Theyskens) wore casual jeans and tees, LBDs reigned supreme for female designers, including Jill Stuart, the Cushnie et Ochs girls and Victoria Beckham.
Take a look at the photos below to see how designers closed their shows this past week. Who do you think has the best runway style?
