The bright, flashy, animal-printy (we're looking at you Cavalli) Milan shows may be under way, but we're still thinking about New York.

So we pored through all the shows, nearly going blind from all that beige, to bring you our favorite 25 looks. It wasn't easy, but we did it, and we did it for you. Now someone bring us a drink and some Pucci. We need colors, dammit!
