Cue up the 70s cozy vibe: up and coming designer Timo Weiland was channeling some great themes from the decade that everyone is referencing these days – the 70's. It has finally been long enough that fashion is ready to revisit the decade that brought us wide-legged jeans, vests, long scarves and layering. I, personally, find this decade a very friendly one to most women as the options for being on trend are myriad. Throw on a long scarf, or a pair of wide legged trousers with a crisp jacket and you nod to the decade without looking like you have been ripped off a Carly Simon album cover (but doesn't she look fabulous?!)

Weiland's knits, graphic patterns and dreamy layers convey a thoroughly modern sensibility that works well in a woman's wardrobe from work to play to gala. I am looking forward to seeing what he does next.

While some designers look back to influences of previous decades and even centuries, Nicole Miller is surely one step, or decade, ahead.

We sent our intrepid intern Maria Willis to Lincoln Center to cover the Adam show at this year's New York Fashion Week. She got the scoop from the Adam team about inspiration, influence and what themes they are channeling this year.

From Adam: Recently, I saw a small but breath-taking exhibit at the National Museum of the American Indian in lower Manhattan. The show highlights art and objects from Native peoples ranging from Alaska to Argentina. I have long felt the American Indian culture to be one of the most beautiful and I walked away from this visit inspired. This led to the colors, textures, and details that are the foundation of this collection.
