Remember to keep checking theFASHIONbox for all the best shows straight from the International Catwalk Shows, starting with New York Fashion Week. Spring/Summer 2017 never looked better!
Alexander Wang
Fresh, summery with a touch of grunge and as always with Wang, quite sporty. Alexander Wang's ss2017 collection at NYFW not only marked a new collaboration with Addidas but certified the designer as one of the hottest tickets in town - Madonna was sitting frow. I loved the bikini-cum dresses and the sporty leisure wear towards the end of the show. Wang doesn't usually do sexy, but this show had plenty of sex appeal. From the barely there dresses to the tight fitting ath-leisure clothing, everything was hot! I mean a bikini top mixed with a fur coat and flip flops? Only Wang could pull that off...
Jason Wu
Navy, metallic, baby, pale... every shade of blue featured in Jason Wu's latest collection. There were floral patterns too as well as neon yellow and black, but it's safe to say that Wu was feeling pretty blue this season. I liked the slicked back hair of the models and the ladylike dresses which have become a staple of the designers. 
Zimmerman
I fell in love with the spring/summer 2017 Zimmerman collection as soon as I saw the first look. The ruffles, lace, checks, prairie girl feel were all so romantic and whimsical, and I especially loved the Victoriana style blouses. There was a freshness about this show, very elegant and pretty but also cool with slouchy striped trousers and cotton crop tops. One of my favs so far.
Tommy Hilfiger
I didn't really know what to expect with Tommy Hilfiger this season. Since it was announced that Gigi Hadid would be co-designing the collection with the designer, I just saw it as another form of celebrity/model endorsement. I was correct in the fact that it drew in Taylor Swift and was trending on Twitter within minutes of the show starting, but the clothes were actually okay. Yes, the Hilfiger logo was everywhere but there was a real mix of all Hilfiger's best bits from over the years. Sporty yet refined, beach glam with high school preppy, this was classic Hilfiger.
Cushnie et Ochs
Nobody does sexy, smoky evening glamour quite like this brand. Thigh split dresses, deep v necks, dramatic eye make up and simple minimal colours (mostly black and white) sums up Cushnie et Ochs. They have been showing for a couple of seasons now at New York and never disappoint with their body con midi dresses. Not the greatest collection I've seen, but there are plenty of pieces I'd wear nonetheless, and that sunset orange colour was to die for too!
