Other designers super-hot this season? Bottega Venetta and Michelle Obama favorite Derek Lam.

But since most people can't afford high-fashion prices, Elizabeth suggests that people can get similar looks at Topshop, which for a while now, has been available stateside.

Also hot? "Lace and layering" a la Stella McCartney and a "shiny" look courtesy of Balmain.

Meanwhile Erdem ad Rodarte are, "individuals in a class all their own," Elizabeth noted.

And in general, "leather" and "biker" looks are very, very in.

When it comes to accessories, Elizabeth recommends "motorcycle boots and kick a** heels."
