New York: Fashion Week Trend

With the conclusion of this years New York fashion week, you could definitely say that many designers came to impress and to wow. Anything and everything was laid out on the table, they definitely did not hold their creative expression down! The major fashion trends of the week were, first off, a more structured look such as: women's jackets, suit pieces, and dresses. The second trend was a revert back to a softer more feminine look, but with a modern twist. Personally my favorite of the two is the second being a very feminine and timeless look. One of the designers that stood out to me who demonstrated this second trend was Zac Posen. He used a combination of delicate and sheer fabrics along with more tailored looks. He more so took the feminine trend and married it to the structured trend, making a balanced collection. Another designer who had a very womanly collection was Badgley Mishchika.

Again the collection was full of light and sheer fabrics, which created a flowing effect that looked so graceful. Adding to this touch of grace was the soft color palette. The collection also played with the use of ruffles, and more so layered ruffles. The next designer that I found used this feminine look was Betsey Johnson, who even embraced her very own teal ruffles.

Like the other designers I have mentioned she used pretty and vibrant colors mixed with a combination of light and slightly heavier fabrics, and draped tiers of ruffles into her garments. The next designer following the flow trend was Carolina Herrera, having more vibrant a color palette and well executed ruffles, also tiers, along with some structure women's wear.

Erin Featherston really made an impression with her uber big, and almost over the top sized ruffles. She down played their impact by creating them in delicate colors.

The last designer that I would like to point out would be Venexiana whose collection following the trend was comprised of soft flowing pieces with subtle color and an overall feminine appeal.

Any woman would want to wear any of these pieces. They are all bold in statement and femininity, yet modern in design!
