Feminine lace and frilly flounces filled New York's fashion show runways on Wednesday, where designers are displaying their collections for next spring.

Marc Jacobs, Kenneth Cole, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors and Oscar de la Renta, on the second day of the gala week, were some of the more than 100 designers showing in the twice-yearly extravaganza.

The newest looks by Jacobs, whose show is one of the most popular, shimmered with elegance, with satin dresses decorated with accordion folds, lace bodices, silver straps and empire waists in translucent champagne, peach, green and rose.

For day, he showed wool suits with short belted jackets and three-quarter length sleeves and silk dresses with cap sleeves. Nearly everything was tied with a ribbon or bow, from straight knee-length coats to sheer silk blouses.

Gauze and chiffon, decorated with skin-baring crochet or big organza bows, in shades of rose and mint took center stage in the Luca Luca collection by designer Luca Orlandi. His blouses were peasant style with off-the-shoulder necklines and macrame detailing.
