A fashion week brings together designers, brands, buyers, media and fans to create an event that serves as the wind and rudder for the current and upcoming seasons. It influences trends and guides the industry to a destination that was unknown before the event. One of the biggest, most important fashion weeks in the world is New York Fashion Week.
This week, the focus was on the waist — particularly the belt. Some models wore broad, oversized belts that covered from the hips to the bottom of the ribs. However, there were just as many outfits that were drawing attention to the midsection with chains and glittering ropes.
We’re not talking about subdued pastels. The browns at this fall event were rich and chocolatey, while the pinks were a vibrant candy color.
Another popular trend on the runway was space dyeing. Space dyeing gives yarn a multicolored effect that’s vaguely reminiscent of tie-dye. However, the overall effect is much different because of the texture of the yarn and the random way the colors line up.
One popular trend in this week’s clothing was reflective material. Glitter, sequins, sparkles and more — the flashier the clothing, the better.
Long dresses have not gone out of style. If anything, they’re more flamboyant than ever. Looks ran the gamut, including puffy, slinky and sparkling, in hot pinks and rich browns.
Tastefully revealing a little skin is a timeless fashion trend. On the runway, earth-toned, off-the-shoulder dresses were big. For those with a little more daring, tops that revealed the lower ribs were popular.
We don’t really know if “Bridgerton” was the inspiration, but bustiers and corsets worn as outer garments were prevalent at this fall’s event.
A reboot is something normally reserved for movies and TV, but after this year, tweed will get a fresh start. Many designers repurposed the fabric, moving it from elbows to flirty, revealing tops, pants and skirts.
