Christian Siriano Spring 2012

With Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia, and Elle's Joe Zee in the front row, former Project Runway winner Christian Siriano sent out his strongest collection to date, one that balanced his flair for dramatic dresses with easy, seriously wearable separates. Yes, there were frothy cocktail dresses and massive, tulle-laden gowns made for the red carpet. But the pleasant surprise came via sleek silk maxi skirts paired with tee-shirts, and cropped silk pants with cape blouses. Done in brilliant color pairings like acid green and peach, it was impactful but subtle. With a covetable line of shoes for retail giant Payless (see the latest in the slideshow) it's clear Siriano is no flash in the pan, and this latest collection suggests his best work is yet to come.

Trends: maxi skirts, tulle, long layering.

Colors: acid green, coral, red, taupe.

Key Look: The silk maxi skirts paired with tees.

Accessories: All the latest Payless collection is pretty awesome

Who Would Wear It: Classic girls with a love for drama — think Anne Hathaway or Emma Stone.

Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2011

Diane von Furstenberg has become one of the world's most recognizable designers since introducing the iconic wrap dress in the '70s. Each season, DVF delivers collections that celebrate bold femininity via print, color, and ultra-wearable silhouettes that are always flattering.There's a sense of playfulness, with a sophisticated finish that evolves with the ebb and flow of trends and seasons. With her Spring 2012 collection debuting on Sunday, we're taking a look at von Furstenberg's collections over the past decade.

Cynthia Rowley's Spring 2012

With gold embellishments and garden party-inspired prints, Cynthia Rowley's set the tone for a beautifully femme, and still entirely modern Spring 2012. Models hit the mirrored, metallic runway in a contrast of botanical prints on slim-fit pants and waist-cinching jackets and blazers, while LBDs and knits got a dose of the same gold accents that Rowley echoed again and again on shoes, soccer-inspired patchwork bags, and even gilded shorts. Rowley delivered a collection that manages to be equal parts sophisticate and cool-girl — statement pieces in all-over florals that get a chicer edge thanks to sharp tailoring and a perfect palette.

• Trends: Contrast stitching, head-to-toe print, botanicals and florals, laser-cut detailing.
• Colors: White, black, red, gold, florals.
• Key Piece: White botanical print blazer and slim-fit black floral print pants.
• Accessories: Gold and white heels, mirrored shades, quilted soccer handbags.
• Who Would Wear It: Polished, feminine girls who still like to take risks; Olivia Palermo and Leighton Meester.
