musings and observations from the nycstylist team
Each season, Pantone publishes a fashion report based on the most popular colors seen on the runway during New York Fashion Week. With pre-fall already in stores and fall deliveries beginning, we want to inspire your wardrobe with our favorite looks of this season's hottest colors!
Designers are breaking boundaries by reconstructing the traditional business suit to fit individual style and personality. Prabal Gurung, Altuzarra, Victoria Beckham and Verdad are a noticeable few giving business formal a new definition.
The Prabal Gurung collection inevitably made a statement transforming classic oversized sweaters, blazers and dresses using unconventional textures, statement prints and bold fabrics. Rather than displaying these pieces in his finale, the models walked the runway in political slogan tees reading "I am an immigrant" and "Revolution has no borders". Gurung also used his platform to break boundaries in the fashion industry by inviting size 4 models to walk in his show.
Designer of Altuzarra, Joseph Altuzarra, conveyed the inspiration for his Fall/Winter collection drew from the brand's "complex" clients. Fighting traditional trends while keeping a sense of modernity, the collection features color-blocking looks, military lace-up boots, velvet pantsuits and colonial-inspired overcoats.
The 2017 Fall/Winter Victoria Beckham collection is the epitome of the new pantsuit. "I've never really worn a blazer with a skirt" said designer Victoria Beckham when explaining her creative process. The collection featured oversized blazers paired with collared sheer dress shirts, long chiffon skirts and slouchy boots for a "relaxed" take on business formal.
When designing his Fall/Winter collection, designer Louis Verdad believed "The vision for fashion is more relaxed". The Verdad day-time collection of oversized pants, sweaters and overcoats followed a palette of navy, sunflower yellow, and neutral hues.
Sunday night marked the 68th Emmy’s award ceremony and there was no shortage of brightly dressed stars. I can’t think of a better way to end NYFW than have award season fail right behind. Let’s be honest, the Red Carpet is the best part of any award show and the Emmy’s Red Carpet is no exception. Here are my picks for the best (and boldest) dressed:
Top Row: Viola Davis - Marchesa, Sarah Paulson - Prada, Priyanka Chopra - Jason Wu, Amanda Peet - Altuzarra
Bottom Row: Emily Ratajkowski - Zac Posen, Angela Bassett - Christian Siriano, Constance Zimmer - Monique Lhuillier, Terrence Howard - Isaia

Good thing that you can never go wrong with black and white because this weekend's shows were all about the contrasting "colors". And since black and white never go out of style, finding a beautiful print and silhouette can really set your outfit apart. No matter where you are going, day or night, black and white looks have the ability to streamline your outfit more so than even the boldest of colors. Here are some of my favorites looks from over the weekend:
Top row, L-R: Banana Republic, Prabal Gurung, Altuzarra, Jenny Packham Bottom rom L-R: Beyond beautiful looks by Carmen Marc Valvo
Style Tip: On those days when you just don’t know what to wear, pairing black with white is an easy match.
