After a year of mostly grey it seems that we are back to black. One of the looks emerging at New York Fashion Week was pure rock: form-fitting, hard-edged rock and roll style.

On Sunday, Max Azria brought back the bandage look of Herve Leger and outfitted rock starlets Joss Stone and Mandy Moore in the signature style in his front row. Rock & Republic turned for inspiration to the underworld and deep purple.

Meanwhile, DKNY evoked a relaxed '70s glamour, while Diane von Furstenberg turned to the 1940s and Tracy Reese chose a ladylike look.

The rock look has been evident since the start of New York Fashion Week, when Nicole Miller veered away from pretty cocktail dresses and invited Joan Jett into her front row.

Clearly, they're not the only ones who still love rock 'n' roll. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week runs through Feb. 8, with Oscar de la Renta, Zac Posen and new incarnations of Bill Blass and Halston yet to preview their collections.
