"   Photo: Imaxtree  While some collections benefit from a presentation format, there are certain clothes that need to go down a runway and Elie Tahari&amp;#039;s AW11 collection is one of them. The way the long, flowing chiffon layers moved and the furs bounced made a major impact Tahari kept things pretty simple with the color palette, but there was drama everywhere else. Each look was either black, taupe, or a shade of burgundy. Around the middle of the show, there were also hints of leopard on blouses, pants, skirts and even on the arms of a black leather trench coat. Those looks were the most luxury-heavy. In more than one instance, animal print, fur and leather made it into one look, which wasn&amp;#039;t subtle-but it was done so well that it wasn&amp;#039;t at all gaudy. When it came to the styling, our own Joe Zee thought of everything\u2014each model wore leather gloves, leather boots and opaque tights\u2014for a look that was covered up, but in the sexy, sophisticated way that is Tahari&amp;#039;s signature style. There was also a definite `70s vibe with long skirts, wide-leg pants, fur-collared coats, velvet blazers and tie-neck blouses. Highlights included a black short-sleeved cable sweater with a long, flowing pleated chiffon skirt with lace applique that revealed lace hot pants underneath, as well as a white fur and lace vest on which the fur was so light it almost looked like feathers and a demure white cape coat that tied at the waste. These clothes are dramatic and captivating, but still smart and even demure\u2014a difficult balance to strike, but one that Tahari succeeds at season after season.
