Best Collections Deemed by In Style:

* Proenza Schouler: In colors like deep violet, emerald, and bronze. The collection is sporty and sensual. Coats with dramatically draped backs, slouchy wide pants, and sequins, sequins, sequins.

*Narciso Rodriguez: The convincing case for neo-minimalist simplicity, with super-shapely jackets and skinny pants. 

*Rodarte: Tulle ballerina dresses speak of sweet fairy tales, but those mohair knits, not to mention the tough girl shoes, give this collection a razor-sharp edge. 

*Prada: The leaner, longer silhouette leads to grown-up glamour, yet the look enters a new realm with couture like, bourgeois-with-an-erotic-twist Swiss lace. 

*Marni: The three step method for the perfect fall: Forgo sleeves, color-block in delicious, imaginative combinations; and belt boxy coats and jackets over neat skirts. 

*Balenciaga: Luxury worthy of the cyber era, with superherolike seamed jackets, intricately paneled pants, draped velvet tops, magnificent costume jewels, and embroidered rubber.
