Among the standouts of this graceful show were dark silk dresses printed with Luchford's moody images of women including Kate Moss, Amber Valetta and Amanda de Cadenet - or a brighter, hand-painted, open-lip motif. Another lip pattern surfaced on coats and cocktail dresses, either woven into the fabric or as a cheeky, sparkly appliqué on eveningwear. The show closed with a lineup of black dresses adorned with delicate fabric bat wings, while some models sported flying bats made of paper on their heads.

There was plenty of the designer's trademark intricate knitwear with laddered dresses and silvery cobweb gowns, plus the mirrored sections, illusion panels and sheer skirts we've come to expect from the designer over recent years. Surprises came in the form of a flowing kaftan and a bodysuit à la Lady Gaga.

Draped backs added drama to dresses, while the texture of embellished tops resembled the surface of a full moon. 

Label: Marc by Marc Jacobs Fashion Show: Spring/Summer 2014 in New York Models: Lindsey Wixson, Kati Nescher, Mijo Mihaljcic, Esther Heesch, Tian Yi, Juliana Schurig, Elisabeth Erm, Anna Ewers, Estee Rammant and Josephine Le Tutour  Photographer: Yannis Vlamos http://marcjacobs.com http://mbfashionweek.com Marc by Marc Jacobs offers a new take on the classics for the brand's Spring/Summer 2014 collection.

Rounding out the collection's relaxed shapes are the final looks featuring satin dresses or jumpsuits adorned with sparkling star shapes.

Label: Zac Posen Fashion Show: Spring/Summer 2014 in New York Photographer: Marcus Tondo http://zacposen.com http://mbfashionweek.com Zac Posen was in a romantic mood for his Spring/Summer 2014 collection inspired by impressionist artwork. Dresses embraced femininity with bouncy ruffles and pleating in satin and silk. Shape alternated between demure silhouettes which moved away from the body and more sirens looks complete with corsets and draping around the bodice. The flowers which adorned the models hair solidify that this upcoming spring is all about sweetness and light for the Posen woman.

Label: Alexander Wang Fashion Show: Spring/Summer 2014 in New York Models: Anna Ewers, Edie Campbell, Irina Kravchenko, Georgia May Jagger, Jourdan Dunn, Kati Nescher, Hedvig Palm, Kasia Struss, Ashleigh Good and Erin Wasson  Photographer: Marcus Tondo http://alexanderwang.com http://mbfashionweek.com With Pharoahe Monch booming on the speakers, it was a trip back to the 90s tomboy for Alexander Wang. Menswear was the jumping-off point for the collection, with classic suiting being used for everything from spaghetti-strapped slip dresses to the waistbands of leather shorts. Men's pajamas popped up in sexy shorts looks with plenty of stomach exposed. There were old-school hip-hop references sprinkled into the collection. Babydoll dresses splashed with the designer's name mingled with leather overall dresses, while workwear made an appearance in black shorts suits with white stitching. The shoes were a new silhouette for Alexander Wang, with a heavy platform and chunky heel all, in a high-sheen patent that almost looked like gleaming rubber at a distance. His bags were on full display with sleek duffels and oversize clutches standing out in shades of maroon and baby pink.
