Written By: Lynn Furge, Senior Fashion Editor
On a sunny day in Manhattan, it is easy to remember how important color is in the winter. After show upon show of muted wintery grey’s green’s and burgundy’s Rachel Roy’s Fall Winter 2012 presentation was a welcome surprise.

It’s not that she wasn’t on color trend, but more that she too extra steps to add a little pop amongst this season’s Colors such as citrine and sail popped o chunky knit snoods and within boucle separates. Purple mixed with navy and green. There was the requisite leather dress in a sleek linear shape, but the standout amongst the collection was the winter rose and garnet grouping, full of reversible shearlings, silk drape cut out maxi dresses, double faced color blocking and cool accessories like pony skin bangles and magnetic closure belts. Placed right against the blinding sun on a below freezing morning, the girls looked like backlit divinity. Buyers were already comparing notes.
