DIY inspiration from New York Fashion Week Fall 2012

Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week featuring Fall 2012 collections once again offers dozens of DIY fashion ideas. (See attached slideshow for a full review.)

The Fall 2012 collections featured lots of color, embellishments and fur, fur, fur. Fur collars are worn long, short, and in every color of the rainbow (including one fur jacket that was a rainbow.)

Fortunately fur, glitter, lace, crochet and decoupage are all fashion tools within reach of any DIY fashionista.

See the attached slideshow for inspiration and check out some of the following tutorials for help.
