Alexander Wang
For next season, Alex Wang is most defiantly feeling punk. From the studded boots to the long black coats, 'de-con re-con' was a strong theme throughout. The models' hair was wet and sticky while make up was dark and mysterious. Very grungy and rebellious. And those dominatrix transparent dresses at the end of the show were a sexy nod to the new Fifty Shades of Grey movie which hit cinemas last Friday. As always, there was a strong nod to sportswear and a more oversized silhouette, but that is what makes Wang stand out from the crowd; he is a visionary.
Altuzarra
Fur, fur, fur...and more fur! This collection was a homage to the great English hunting days of old, with fox fur stoles, camel man coats and tweed jackets taking centre stage. The colours were classically autumnal with some very beautiful lace dresses standing out as a great option for evenings. I love Joseph Altuzarra and this show was spectacularly crisp, clean and elegant with some amazing clothes for the fall.
DKNY
There were bright pops of colour, strong lines and a fun motif running throughout. It's fair to say the younger, cooler label to Donna Karen has a trendy outlook for next season. I loved the simple shapes and those roll neck jumpers looked so cosy warm for winter. A very sharp collection from Donna K.
Diane Von Furstenberg
I wasn't expecting a show like this one from DvF. COmpared to the cute gingham dresses and frilly skirts from last season, this collection was dark and mysterious. With Kendall Jenner opening the show wearing a white wrap dress, the clothes were beautiful with a work-wear outlook. Pinstripe suits, floral tea dresses and knitted jumpers were chic and stylish with some bright crimson reds and neon blue thrown in. Overall, another great show.
Prabul Gurung
Again, fur was another stand out moment at NYFW but this time with a more elegant touch. Prabul Gurung sent glam fur lined coats down the runway, along with boxy shapes and simplistic pieces perfect to dress up or down. The grey looks that opened the show completely drew me in with how chic they were styled and then the colours from there were just gorgeous; off white, beige and burnt orange. Stand out piece? That amazing white fur stole layered effortlessly over a knitted jumper and mini skirt.
