Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: My top picks

In the world of fashion, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is already the equivalent of years ago, especially now that London Fashion Week is upon us. But I'd be remiss if I didn't highlight my absolute favorite looks from the spring 2012 collections.

Top row: Marchesa, Dennis Basso, Rachel Zoe, Christian Siriano, Carlos Miele

Bottom row: Carlos Miele, Elie Tahari, Badgley Mischka, Carolina Herrera, Carolina Herrera

Top row: Band of Outsiders, Chado Ralph Rucci, Bibhu Mohapatra, Jason Wu, Yigal Azrouel, Theyskens' Theory

Bottom row: Milly, Calvin Klein, ADAM, Diesel Black Gold, Daryl K, Rodarte

Top row: J,Crew,  Gap, J.Crew, Carolina Herrera

Bottom row: Lela Rose, Lela Rose, Rachel Comey, Kevork Kiledjian

Overall, I didn't feel like there was anything groundbreaking or any new stand-out trends. I found the wearability of a lot of the looks pleasantly surprising, though, and am so happy to see that bright reds and citrus hues will be carrying into the spring.

Who do you think had the standout collections?
