Tiny Trendsetter: New York Fashion Week Trends!

With fall quickly approaching that can only mean one thing, New York Fashion Week is in full swing! Many American designers debuted their upcoming Spring/Summer 2015 collections. New York Fashion week will be followed by London, Milan and Paris Fashion Week, so basically it becomes fashion month, a very exciting time for all of the fashion gurus out there!

This year, menswear inspired trends dominated the runway! We saw many blazers along with ankle length trousers, ranging from a boxy fit to very tailored and structured fit. J.Crew, Marc Jacobs and MaryKate and Ashley Olsen’s line, Elizabeth and James were just a few of the designers to showcase this trend. I noticed a lot of these suit pieces were mixed with various textures, another big trend for this upcoming Spring/Summer season!

BCBG Max Azria, Cynthia Rowley and Kate Spade (my personal favorite) all showcased outfits with sheer fabric. Kate Spade showed many-structured button up shirts in a white sheer fabric. She paired these shirts with structured t-length skirts, another trend that was seen across the runway. Max Azria used this trend in a variety of ways throughout his show. He displayed many long sleeved t-length and maxi dresses in a sheer fabric. The dresses were in muted tones of blue, coral and white.

Even though we saw many earth tones throught on the runways, vibrant colors aren’t going anywhere! Designers such as, Kate Spade and Ralph Lauren displayed some very bright, eye-catching colors! Kate Spade had many vibrant blue and red shirts and dresses in her collection. They also displayed a bold print on them, a huge trend that was seen throughout the week! Ralph Lauren surprised us with his upcoming collection! Instead of showing classic and preppy pieces like you would expect, he opted for a striking yellow, purple and orange that was seen throughout the collection. He showcased brightly colored trench coats, all the way to evening gowns! You will definitely have all eyes on you when you step out in one of Kate Spade’s dresses or Ralph Lauren’s coats!
