NEW YORK FASHION WEEK FALL / WINTER 2016 |DESIGNERS WE
LOVE The biggest fashion event that kicked off last
Wednesday has come to an end. New York Fashion Week is the most prestigious fashion events among other
events such as Paris, Milan and London. The four highly anticipated fashion events combined are known as the
‘BIG 4’. The most awaited fashion event of the world brought
some of the biggest and most talented designers together this year so that each of them could showcase their winter/fall collection. Famous supermodels, buyers, celebrities, press and fashion enthusiasts came together
to enjoy the more-than week-long event. Here’s a glimpse of the best New York Fashion Week designers
and their collection with fashion week pictures.
VERA WANGAmong many famous New York
Fashion Week designers was New York based fashion designer Vera Wang who showcased a dreamy
collection on the runway. Her designs were majorly focused on business wear along with tough
jackets, coats and long skirts. The fashion week pictures show models walking the runway wearing block high heels with socks which were
also a part of her Vera Wang’s designs.
PHILLIP LIMThe 42-year-old American fashion
designer showcased some interesting pieces on the runway. I love patterns on dresses and tops
and most of Lim’s designs were big on patterns and textures which
tempted me to include his designs in this post
TOMMY HILFIGEROne of the many popular New York Fashion Week designers present was Tommy Hilfiger’s fall/winter collection which was an absolute surprise. His designs were simple with a vintage touch added to all the pieces. His collection included wide legged pants, satin dresses,
nautical overalls and more. A lot of famous supermodels wore tiara on their heads. Foot fashion included
angle socks paired with chunky heeled shoes.
ZAC POSENAside from his great collection full
of style, Zac Posen brought diversity on the runway by
including almost exclusively models of color. This had been an
issue in the past as designers were criticized for lack of diversity in its
choice of models on the runway. Zac took a rather bold step by doing this and the results were amazing. His designs were top
notch which included maxi dresses, business outfits, stylish coats and
footwear.
ROSIE ASSOULINRosie Assoulin showcased her
unique fantasy style among other New York Fashion week designer
where famous supermodels modeled her amazing collection. She never fails to deliver pieces the stand out including this year.
Her collection was mostly glamorous and flashy. (left picture) This sequined trench coat and track pants are the best example of her blingy collection. (Right Picture) Another piece showed a model
wearing knit single sleeved sweater paired with a ruffle maxi
skirt.
KAREN WALKERNew Zealand based designer Karen
Walker displayed her bold yet simple designs amidst other New York fashion week designers. Her
collection had poppy color and noteworthy patterns. These two
outfits alone show her unique style. The red plaid pencil skirt is so chic
and perfect for casual or formal events. And I love the red coat with fluffy sleeves. No doubt these two versatile pieces can be paired and
number of outfits.
MAIYETMost people know Maiyet as a big
fashion brand but don’t really know the masterminds behind it.
The brand’s founders Kristy Caylor and Paul van Zyl created this
fashion brand with eye-catching pieces. This year at the New York
Fashion Week fall/winter 2016, Maiyet displayed very
sophisticated set of designs. They had everything from leggings to
fall overcoats. I’m looking forward to getting some of these pieces for
my wardrobe soon.
These were my favorite designers from this year’s New York fashion week. Who were yours? Were there any looks
that you particularly loved from this year’s fall/winter
collection? Designers, Fashion & Style by Thelma Okoro
