NYFW Dispatch: Richard Chai Love

Who Was There:Nicola Formichetti, Poppy Delevigne and Amanda Hearst

The Skinny:Richard Chai's fall 2012 collection of neutral, structured separates in heavy-duty wools -- oversized blazers, white button-downs and slim-fitted pants -- got a necessary dose of whimsy with tie-dye, pleated palazzo pants and floral skirts and dresses.

The Music:The Smiths' and Mike Viola And The Section Quartet's renditions of "How Soon Is Now?"

The Moment:The crowd took a gasp, not once but twice, when two major models nearly tripped over their palazzo pants.
