That would be what we’re dubbing the “franken-dress," a patchwork-like piece that's been popping up everywhere during New York Fashion Week this season. Carolina Herrera kept the look elegant with a tea-length style in soft lavender and confetti print silks (above), while Zero + Maria Cornejo went for an updated Grecian effect with a single-shoulder cut made from several swatches of blue and white fabric. And we have to give props to Jason Wu: He brilliantly kept four miss-matched materials cohesive by sticking to dainty prints and similar color schemes.
