We paired these menswear fashion week looks from Spring/Summer 2018 with a complementary spirit. These masculine bottles reflect the seasonal colors of the New York Runways.
Throughout NYFW there was one trend we kept seeing, tulle. Some designers conceived simple looks while others went for more voluminous creations, like the ombre Oscar de la Renta. Tulle will definitely be a staple for Spring/Summer 2018.
Designers highlighted their collections with bright hues on the last day of NYFW. Starting with a vibrant red from Bonnie Young and ending with a pastel pink from Delpozo, we saw the colors of the rainbow, and beyond, on day 8. The styles varied greatly, but they all brought color to the runway.
There have been quite a few couture gowns featured on the runway the last couple of days. On Day 7, we saw some amazingly crafted dresses that are nothing short of perfection. The heavy beading and embellishment on these pieces make them show stoppers. While tulle has been a prominent trend this past week, these designers created elegant gowns with sleek silhouettes.
On day 6 (and a bit of day 2) of NYFW we saw similar design elements on different silhouettes and runways. However, the application of the designs were unique for each designer. Oscar de la Renta added a multicolor paint splatter, Carolina Herrera incorporated an abstract confetti-like design, Neubyrne used colorful paillettes and Rosie Assoulin arranged a rainbow of sea shells across her canvas.
Prabal Gurung is known for his political statements during fashion week. In past shows, he has demonstrated his support for women's rights. Yesterday, he did just that by including models of every shape, size and color. Sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid walked the runway along with plus size and transgender models. By using such diversified women, Gurung is truly breaking down barriers on the runway.
Two piece outfits are a dream come true when trying to coordinate an outfit. While I do not care for matching pajama type sets, structured styles give a smart, stylish look. These matching sets are all fresh and modern. It's a look that many celebrities have been wearing and definitely a look that will carry through Spring/Summer 2018.
NYFW Day 3 brought us bold looks featuring stripes. Designers showcased their patterns in different directions, colors and sizes. Whether the stripes are vertical, horizontal, asymmetrical, or every which way, they'll be a hit for Spring/Summer 2018.
The little black dress is a staple in every woman's closet. This classic piece has been interpreted many different ways over the years. On day 2 of NYFW, designers showed us their take on the LBD. All these looks sport a feminine silhouette, each with a different twist.
NYFW Spring/Summer 2018 kicked off with some shimmer and shine. While not all designers showcased metallics, this trend was quite the rage for some. Tom Ford, Greta Constantine, Pamella Roland and Rosetta Getty presented these eye catching looks from their ready-to-wear collections.
Taylor Hill rocked the runway during the 2017 Anna Sui NYFW Fall/Winter Fashion Show in a sheer black dress. When it hit the stores, production had added lining and shortened the sleeves to better suit the consumer market.
Dolce & Gabbana gave their runway a different twist by having up and coming celebrities walk their show instead of typical “It girls.” Like Anna Sui, D&G added lining to the sheer dress making it more practical for consumers.
Prada never disappoints, however, when researching e-commerce sites, we were unable to find any of the printed skirts from the runway show. Nonetheless, the printed top can be found at Bergdorf’s.
The Olsen twins showcased their simple yet elegant ensembles during The Row’s runway show in February. This Neyton Long Leather Trenchcoat in Sand appears to have not gone under any production changes and can be purchased in the same cut and color.
Issey Miyake’s designs turn heads on the runway and in the streets. A knee-length version of this burgundy jacket was paired with a matching belt during NYFW while a shorter version was released for purchase to the public.
Black and gold together always has a certain richness. In contrast with many sheer pieces, this rockstar dress from Alexander McQueen dodged any production alterations.
Paco Rabanne combined geometry and fluidity to the utmost perfection in this timeless piece. The runway dress is currently available for purchase on their website.
Many times a complete runway look does not become available for purchase. Lucky for us, both the ribbed turtleneck sweater and floral skirt can be found on the Balenciaga website in multiple colors.
This coat wooed on the runway during Marc Jacobs’ show and highlighted the latest fall 2017 trend of bright plaids. It can be found in stores in the same cut and color.
New York Fashion Week arrived Thursday and with Valentine's Day around the corner, the runway is filled with blush, lace detail and intricate embellishments. Designers delivered staple looks combining the delicacy of the traditional woman and strength of modern feminism.
ADEAM, Noon by Noor, Michael Costello, and Erin Fetherston were some of many much-anticipated designers delivering feminine-inspired statement gowns. Our favorite looks integrate traditional softness with the simple silhouette.
The Fall 2017 Noon by Noor line featured a combination of light chiffons and soft prints creating an allure of simplicity and sophistication. Our favorite look was the all-white, long-sleeve pant jumpsuit. Complete with floral embellishments and additional flounce transitioning into a light train, this pant suit challenges the classic concept of romance.
The ADEAM collection channeled both Victorian matriarch and the rebellious body-pierced punk rocker. Designer, Hankako Maeda, said she was inspired by Japanese Lolita fashion. Maeda explains, "I really wanted this collection to be about expressing individuality and strong femininity".
Erin Fetherston described her Fall 2017 collection, Pursuit of Rhapsody, as "romantic, bohemian and free-spirited" After becoming a mother, Featherston's flirty signature style transitioned to relaxed and looser fittings.
Michael Costello's collection was full of lingerie-inspired lace gowns. Channeling the retro trends of the 70s, models were styled with massive perms and strong red lips... A look that I'll never tire of!
Tuesday Night, NYCSTYLIST attended the launch of the NYLON Project x NYFW which aims to raise awareness and provide meals to New York City’s homeless. Founder, Jordana Guimaraes, set the goal to provide 1,500 meals before the February 7th event.
The launch included a runway show with both sponsors and meal recipients as well as performances by FAULKNER, Chenelle, and Season 11 finalist of The Voice Wé McDonald. Previously homeless rapper and songwriter, Young MG, also performed. NYLON Project supporters, Christina Milian, Miss New York Nicole Kulovany, and more walked in the fashion show with the meal recipient whom they have sponsored.
