Evil Kitty's collections are known for being punky and playful, arty and somewhat experimental due to, designer, Lidia Wachowska's stint at SAIC. In the past few years Lidia has worked a lot with bright pink, the Evil Kitty logo and branding her fabrics before constructing her garments. This rebelliousness and party-girl attitude was reflected in the first part of her show which was all about spring color and edgy girly cut. This year's fall collection, she says is a departure from her normal style because she finds herself muting more colors, and using a lot of patterned black and black on white. The fall collection included shrugs, leggings, and sweater dresses as well as some updated past season's designs.

Throughout the show, models walked to the end of a U-shaped runway where they stopped and posed for photos. During the finale, all models walked to the end of the runway where posed for a group photo with Lidia.
