Done right, Saturday morning is basically just bliss with a side of bagels. And during New York Fashion Week, a new brunch dish emerges among the avocado bowls and crispy bacon: style roundups with lip-smacking looks to really sink your teeth into.

Jeremy Scott taunts tabloid culture with a Wham! Pow! of newspaper graphics and shock tactics. (A party dress that says “PSYCHO!” across the front? Sold.)

Hellessy turns Red Riding Hood from a childhood fable into a fashion fantasy with the legendary ‘70s supermodel Pat Cleveland in a scarlet linen dress and sequin siren pants. Sorry, big bad wolves—you’ll never get this many howls.
I wish my insurance covered Victor Glemaud cashmere as much as they do Zoloft. With sun-soaked colors and joyfully fuzzy feels, these coveted knits have the potential to boost happiness levels without a prescription.
Brock Collection’s collection edges right up to Felicity Merriman’s colonial dream dresses. As a rebellious American Girl myself, I swooned. Also, check out these shoes.
