Recap: Best NYFW Runway Looks from Day 6

Two more days to go at NYFW. There’s time yet to solidify a few more trends. Another round of what trends we should be expecting next Spring:

  • Monochromatic layering
  • Floral prints
  • Rock’n’roll references
  • Roomy silhouettes
  • Lounge-wear inspired pieces (think, silky camis)
  • High-waist pants
  • White, white, white

Tory Burch

Beautiful crochet and serape elements in cool hues started off the show, before expanding on the intricacies of woven fabric both with form and print. Neutral tones closed off the show, with a delicate embroidered silver feather on the front of a simple dress, proving that play can certainly be part of a working uniform.

Polo Ralph Lauren

The actual show almost stole the spotlight from the clothes at Polo Ralph Lauren, where models walked on water in the middle of Central Park via hologram projections. In terms of clothing, Polo delivered trusty Southwestern inspired pieces complete with fringe and prairie dresses and a hint of French flair, a relatable component of the brand.

Vera Wang

Pretty embroidered gauze panels on fronts of shoulder-baring dresses stole the show at Vera Wang. Long flowing frocks in demure colors lent a mysterious feel, and impeccably tailored ensembles cinched at the waist are perfectly styled for power-player closets.

Rodarte

Long flowing frocks with layers of fishnet and sequins resembling fish scales reminisced of childhood dreams and vivid imagination. The outerwear targets an inspired and risky crowd but the refinement gathers back up with long soft muted-palette gowns worthy of a luxurious sail and appealing to all tastes. A wildly imaginative and very targeted collection.

Badgley Mischka

The line-up consisted of beautiful feminine silhouettes in soft neutrals. While the day-wear was perfectly inspired, the real showstoppers were the evening-wear pieces. A soft palette and floral prints flowed easily against the more structured and embellished bodices. An over-all elegant and refind collection which perfectly appeals to women who have class pinned down perfectly.

Timo Weiland

Soft colors, narrow silhouettes and a tropical vacation inspiration secured a young and fresh collection with a flair of maturity.

MM6 Maison Martin Margiela

The show started off with silky PJ’s and lounge-wear inspired looks. Soft hues, silky fabrics, roomy silhouettes and gentle draping paved way to a line-up of fringe, suede, and classic denim. A Japanese bedroom with a hint of Old West dreaming through different scenes.

Diesel Black Gold

Rock’n’roll pulsed through Diesel’s show consisting of smart separates and raw denim pieces. A New Wave vibe mixed with rockabilly ruled the feel. Studs and stripes marched down the runway paired with leather bralettes.

Thakoon

Pretty crochet trims and inserts were prevalent in many of the clothing pieces at Thakoon Addition.

Marc by Marc Jacobs

Latex, plastic, polka dots and a strong, independent attitude ruled Jacobs’ runway this season. It was a show of tearing apart and fusing together. Bold pieces justaposed against softer more casual fabrics. This tension and fusion was aptly displayed in patched together dresses consisting of similar but different personalities.

Pamella Roland

The show packed a powerful punch with beautiful soft hues, feminine silhouettes and impeccable tailoring inspired by Japanese culture. The real stars were the evening-wear and formal pieces, which softly draped in luxurious fabrics and over-arching attention to detail.

Sophie Theallet

Pretty, girly pieces were offset with strong colors in complementing hues.

Naeem Khan

Although slightly confusing in terms of cohesion, Naeem Khan succeeded in delivering an abundance of beautiful evening-wear. Perhaps the confusion arose due to Khan’s introduction of youthful separates that appeal to a different crowd than the one seeking his gown masterpieces. No complaining there, since the clothing held an enormous amount of casual appeal without losing any attention to intricate details.

J. Crew

Clean-cut separates and mens-wear pieces were given a makeover with some very feminine tailoring and Mediterranean inspired prints and color palette.

Oscar de la Renta

A rose motif led the show comprised of soft petal shades and black & white ensembles. Embroidered and lace layers were shaped into hourglass and fit and flare silhouettes. Gingham was magnified and elevated to a more chic and high-fashion ground. Exquisite attention to detail and technical skill elevates Oscar de la Renta’s collection to the ranks of being staples in the most prestigious of closets.

Cynthia Rowley

’60s hues and silhouettes silhouettes pumped up the collection’s fun factor.

Veronia Beard

Pretty and girly separates for a younger crowd. Overall, fairly run-of-the-mill collection.

Theory

Back at the helm of Theory, Lisa Kulson cemented her role as provider of “chic, simple, luxurious clothes.” Her approach in evolving Theory is to focus on simplicity and style rather than fleeting trends. The show was a successful presentation of go-to outfits that a busy, and exceptionally stylish, mom would reach for.

Narcisco Rodriguez

A few flesh tones and a predominantly black-and white collection offered practical and wearable separates and dresses. To spice up the outfits, sequin insets were strategically placed to create visual flow.

Maison Kitsuné

The presentation marked the first time Maison Kitsuné showed at fashion week. The theme was pitched as ‘effortless French’, though in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way. The clothes were cute and very wearable. The feel was cohesive. Overall, there was a lack of oomph, resulting in some boredom when viewing the clothes.

ICB

Gurung delivered athletically inspired looks for the urban girl. Multi-colored fringe provided movement and flow into the print on several of the pieces.

Elie Tahari

A line-up of distressed fabrics with silhouettes suggesting cool, chic staples comprised the collection. Inspired by a “high-tech bohemian shipwreck”, Tahari delivered weathered wear with a high tech approach.

Noon by Noor

Youth and renewal served as inspiration at Noon by Noor for Spring 2015. Tame, minimal silhouettes were embellished with fresh, spring-like prints in a subdued, blooming palette to elevate the clothing.

Pedro del Hierro

A gentle flowing water theme added sensuality and movement to this season’s collection. Taking a cue from vacationing jet-setters, Carmen March provided soft hues and body-skimming silhouettes with a demure appeal.

Jenny Packham

Citing Marilyn Monroe as the influence, Jenny Packham delivered on sultry, close-fitting silhouettes in a confident and feminine color palette. The frocks were delivered with modern touches and cuts, despite harking back to the past. The particular standouts in the collection were the sleek, intricately beaded and embellished gowns that Packham does extremely well, and the simple pieces focused on enhancing the figure rather than showing off tiny details. The looks falling in between these two extremes seemed out of place and a bit too busy.

Koonhor

A fun and young collection which combines the inspiration of wall tapestries in the fringe accents and loose silhouettes in black & white. A number of athletic elements fuse with the transparent brimmed hats to produce outfits slightly akin to bee-keepers.

Skingraft

A Santeria inspired collection with beautiful athletic elements and smoky prints. A cool kid’s street uniform in edgy leather pieces and sheer silk nylons.
