Hey guys!
I hope you are all doing super well! So today I thought I would do a little post about some of the key shows from New York Fashion Week. So as you may know Fashion week is one of my favourite times of the year. It gets me so excited and the buzz is just so incredible so I thought I'd share with you guys today some of my favourites from New York fashion Week.
Okay so firstly there is of course Coach. The Spring 2017 collection was designed by Stuart Vevers. The vibes gave of a tough girl look with leather jackets and studs to accompany a rebel style.
But it wasn't just a typically rebellious look. The collection was put together in a very interesting way. For examples feminine sheer types of fabrics where used to create the edgy look which created the perfect contrast.
The unusual combination of silk scarves and creeper style shoes where put together but it worked perfectly to create an edgy yet super fashion orientated high end look.
Although I love the punk style it is not always something I am immediately wowed by. However this collection really was special and different to others.

The Next show to of course showcase another amazing collection was Victoria Beckham. The designer stuck to the classic look yet it was not in the slightest boring,
The feminine chosen luxurious fabrics where dreamy. The shapes of the fabric where not fitted in a way to a usual feminine figure yet the draping caused all of the garments to look super elegant.
Each and every piece looked sleek and elegant.
There may not have been in your face prints but the collection truly felt special and one of a kind. Definitely one to check out.

Thirdly there was the Proenza Schouler show.
This show is a little bit different to the i suppose publicized fashion and I personally feel it has a very artistic spin on it.
The collection involved strong and bold statement pieces with a kind of geometrical style in some of them. Layers also played a main feature in the show.
Block colours and a clear colour scheme also created an impact of strength and confidence.

Next up is Phillip Lim.
This show was also a special one.
Mixing a feminine yet slightly edgy style created a laid back confidence vibe.
The collection also hinted on a sporty vibe with a certain casualness in some of the garments.
The very subtle hints of yellow within the collection also really made the collection feel spring ready.

Alexander Wang was obviously another big name and extraordinary show at New York Fashion week.
I actually personally felt that the Alexander Wang show had different vibes to normal. This kept things interesting and exciting. The style was of course Alexander Wang recognizable and familiar but it felt more innovative and different which interested me particularly.
I felt that this time there was more of a performance sportswear impact into the collection. This is of course something which Alexander Wang is known for including within the collection. However this show had an obvious display I personally felt of performance sportswear opposed to just a street style.
The show and parts of the collection also reminded me in some ways of junky styling. For example items which looked familiar to a shirt had been used as skirts. The pattern cutting was innovative and broke boundaries which created excitement also.
There was also a noticeable amount of loose wear clothes in the collection which gave a tom boy kind of vibe to some of the clothes.
What was also interesting was the use of mixed gender. This is something which is not perhaps often done and I found interesting to see how the collection worked with this.

DVF of course was also an amazing show too.
The DVF show this year may not have been as well published as last year however nevertheless it still had some major garment pieces in it and of course still had the DVF style written all over it.
The collection was actually hugely designed by Jonathon Saunders. The collection was reflective of the traditional DVF style with a contemporary twist.
There were florals and prints of course paired with block colours also.The garments had a luxurious drape to them.
The collection also had emphasis on knit which is something not worked with a lot in DVF collections previously.
Another predominate show from NYFW was DKNY.
This show had a strong street style vibe to it. It is a style I am really loving at the moment.
I personally felt that the collection had a similar style to the Yeezy collection however it was more clean cut.
There was a lot of use of block bold deep and muted or striking colours.
The collection was a mixture of garments which where shaped to emphases curves on the body and also shapes which made completely loose wearing garments.

Micheal Kors was a popular show also at NYFW.
Vintage is the one thing which really came to mind after seeing this show and as you all know I do love my vintage.
The colour choices of blues, whites, pinks, oranges and greens made an interesting combination however with the prints I really think this completed the vibe of the collection.
The statement collars, sleeves and belts also evolved an impacting show.

Next up is one of my all time favourite designers at the moment. Jeremy Scott.
Jeremy is not always the most popular among-st fast fashion lovers as he is known for being innovative and experimenting with colour. However I love his collections. They have a clear creative direction and show they have been inspired which is something which really interests me.
This collection I felt had a very edgy vibe to it particularly created by the sue of black and PVC, The bright colours with this also created a punk look.
Some of the garments had a pop art style to them with graphic prints and bold colours this worked really well with the punk contrast as it created a confident and strong atmosphere.
Towards the later part of the show cartoon styles which Jeremy is more known for appeared with outlandish shapes formed by sequins. It was an amazing show and really stood out at Fashion Week for me.

Finally there is of course Rag and Bone.
Rag and Bone have a more traditional style to them and there collection at fashion week I think was reflective of that.
There collection at NYFW I felt had a slouchy vibe to some of the garments however the pieces still had tailored look to them.
The Rag and Bone show this year also included comfy street style outfits. Yet they still had a professional workable purpose to them.
