Last week, a group of recent grads from San Francisco's Academy of Art trekked to New York City, braving a massive snowstorm, to present their creations at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week for fall and winter 2013. The students showed some incredible knits—those paired with suiting by Janine M. Villa and Amanda Nervig were especially memorable.

Yuming Weng's melton, flannel, and doubled-faced wool dresses in muted grey and brown and decorated with subtle (but impactful) wave-like patters were also major standouts. Watch all 10 students' seven collections in the vid above!
