Ten Things Loved at Fashion Week

1. Vera Wang's collection, especially the delicately draped and layered "need to have now" tops.
2. Both Marc Jacobs collections: We're glad the quintessential New York designer remains a major influence.
3. The subtly metallic evening dresses at Ralph Lauren.
4. Sari Gueron's firm grasp of what glamorous and cool New York girls want to wear.
5. All the white at Phillip Lim, BCBG, and Narciso Rodriguez.
6. The great easy T-shirt dresses from Peter Som, Marc Jacobs, and Zero Maria Cornejo.
7. Even more crazy heels especially Derek Lam's.
8. Michael Kors jersey and cashmere knits.
9. Proenza's tomato-and-gray stretch top with charcoal moiré skirt.
10. The fact that New York designers really gave their all this week. They're holding their own against the Europeans.
