"I've been a big supporter of Vera's since I was first nominated for an Emmy," Mariska Hargitay said before Wang's fall show. The Law and Order:SVU star was backstage before the show and gave us her take on the collection. "I thought it was inspired and spectactular. It made me so excited for fall." The show made Wang herself excited, too. The figure skater/Vogue editor/bridal designer turned big-time important American designer gave her take on the collection following the show. "It was minimalist but it wasn't minimalist." Translation: Minimalism is about stripping design down to it's essentials. Wang chose very sturdy fabrics, which she allowed to carry themselves, with pleating (big trend) and twisting providing beautiful volume. The collection beared some similarities to 80's Yamamoto and seemed somber from a distance, with every shade of charcoal imaginable surging through felts, cashmeres, hammered satin and organza. Adding to the not minimalism list: her spectacular jewelry. She hit the trends we are seeing this week. Subdued florals (played out in cool bomber-style jackets, above), beastly furs (a stunning patchwork mink coat) and pops of yellows and oranges, which she says she got from her inspiration, Dutch artist Kees van Dongen .
