Looks like a lot of girls will be stealing clothes from their boyfriend's closets ;P I absolutely loved Thakoon's collection, completely caught me by surprise as he brought over spring inspired pieces into fall. I loved all the colors and textures he used and the design was very fresh and perfect for a city girl. Thakoon's got my vote for best F/W 2011 collection at NY Fashion Week!
