Joseph Altuzarra is not a veteran in the fashion industry by any means, but the quality of his work has garnered attention from fashion editors worldwide, particularly former Vogue editor in chief Carine Roitfeld, so the Altuzarra Fall 2012 collection is one of the most anticipated events of New York Fashion Week.
The New York City-based French designer is somewhat of an "overnight sensation" but he is working to prove his talents in the industry. Thankfully, his fall offering is undoubtedly his best work yet and will surely solidify his place as one of fashion's heavy-hitters.
"I just wanted to do things that women want to wear," Altuzarra told Style.com before the show, "to figure out how to make clothes that look rich but feel easy."
The Altuzarra Fall 2012 collection is truly one of the most memorable shows of the season.
