Now that I've had time to peruse Vogue.com and process all the beauty that is New York Fashion Week, there are a few trends for fall 2011 that can't be denied. Here's who did it best - from the '40s to the '70s, the Southwest to the Argentinian plains.

It's the first time I've used PhotoSnack to create fancy-shmancy slideshows, so click through and let me know what you think!

Tomato & Ultramarine - colors of the season


'70s Plaids - big, bold and retro



'40s Silhouettes - from feminine suits to Hollywood glam


Let's just call this the Gaucho/Matador/Cowboy look - horse blankets, reinvented boleros and Southwestern prints


Colorblocking - black & white or super bright


My Favorites - these are the looks I can't quantify, the one's that stop me in my tracks. It's just a gut feeling, really.


So, tell me what I missed. What were your favorite shows?
