5. Bundling up—Haider Ackerman, Alberta Ferretti, and Ungaro were just a few of the designers who brought some major emphasis back to the neck and shoulders by piling, cocooning, wrapping, and draping. In most cases, it was both exciting and appealing given the interesting new chapter it brought to proportion. From left: Emanuel Ungaro, Haider Ackermann, Emanuel Ungaro, Haider Ackermann

6. Ruching and the new jodphur—It was hard to distinguish which was the more interesting look: delicate ruching on silky long harem-style pants or a new evening-ready spin on last year's jodphur. The shapes may be tough for many girls to pull off, but from our vantage point, they're still pretty hot. From left: Haider Ackermann, Balmain, Nina Ricci, Haider Ackermann

7. Dress meets pants…meets dress—It wasn't too many seasons ago that Michael Kors declared on Project Runway that "dresses over pants is so over!" (or something to that effect). The truth is, he was right. But the dresses topping pants that we spotted this season introduced a clever new play on contrasting fabrics and textures revealing a more modern, blended layering. We love. From left: Dries Van Noten, Veronique Branquinho, Fendi

8. Purple passion—In New York it was pumpkin and cobalt, but the shade we loved the most in Europe was this rich and romantic shade of satiny, silky grape. Sweet! From left: Alberta Ferretti, Burberry Prorsum, Alberta Ferretti
