May 11, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienOver the past year the fashion industry has been going through some major discussions about the relevancy and impact of Fashion Week. Brands have been revamping the way they present during the bi-annual events by combining men’s and women’s collections, limiting their line to a season or two, and even making entire collections available for purchase directly after runway shows. ...

Feb 27, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienWith our Instagram feed filling up with runway shots of Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Karlie Kloss, it’s almost hard to imagine a time when their faces weren’t plastered all over the internet. But all supermodels were newbies at one point, with a small social media following, a smaller portfolio and a dream of making it big. In an attempt to discover the newest Binx Walton or Cara Delevingne, we’ve searched for the most exciting new faces this Fashion Month. ... Read More | 
Feb 22, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienFur, embellishments and metallic fabrics might seem like an ultra-lush collection for most ready-to-wear lines, but for Gilles Mendel it’s par for the course. For the Fall 2016 J. Mendel line, he chose to simplify his usual aesthetic and designed the silhouettes to be chic, effortless and uncomplicated—though the same can’t be said for anything else in the collection. ...

Feb 18, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienAt first glance, the Fall 2016 Delpozo runway seemed like just another beautifully imaginative rendition from creative director Josep Font. But this season the bright colors and floral detailing was inspired by the urban dystopia of Metropolis, the 1927 sci-fi film, and the dark digital illustrations of Daria Pertilli, an Italian artist whose surreal work focuses on women surrounded by nature. ...

Feb 17, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienCousins Shaikha Noor Al Khalifa and Shaikha Haya Al Khalifa are no strangers to loud prints, bold colors and modest cuts, which is why their Noon by Noor Fall 2016 collection came as such a surprise. Gone were the bright shades and quirky designs, and in their place were subdued tones, voluminous shapes and patterns in the form of embellishment and texture. ... Read More | 
Feb 17, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienFor years the Rag & Bone runway has been a NYFW favorite. Not only do designers David Neville and Marcus Wainwright know how to put on a show, but they know how to create a collection that people want. Nothing is too conceptual, everything is easy to wear and it’s just plain cool. This season for Fall 2016, they put on a joint men’s and womenswear show, with a live percussion performance from Mauro Refosco and Joey Waronker from Atoms for Peace. ... Read More | 
Feb 15, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienFor Fall 2016, O’2nd’s brand director Minsoo Chung presented a line of ready-to-wear pieces lightly influenced by the Victorian era. Ruffles and puffs were added to the shoulders, while sweet lace collars gave overlooked basics a romantic upgrade. Antique touches were light handed, giving the collection a subtle vintage feel instead of a more blatant play on inspiration. ... Read More | 
Feb 15, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienAn icy evening in the middle of February might seem like the perfect place to showcase a collection of high-performance winter active wear, but for the guests that had to suffer through the freezing outdoor display at Moncler Grenoble’s Fall 2016 show, it was anything but. As industry insiders huddled together for warmth, the models walked the terraces at Lincoln Center, looking cozy and content in layers of fur and down outerwear. ... Read More | 
Feb 12, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienThe hot topic of the season has been the idea of restructuring the classic Fashion Week model, and today Wes Gordon joined the ranks of designers forgoing the traditional runway. For Fall 2016, he presented his collection entirely online in a series of nine GIFs posted to his Instagram account. “It can be kind of limiting—four white walls, six minutes to tell our story,” Gordon told WWD. “There are 600 shows on the calendar. As a smaller brand, it’s an opportunity to be mobile, do something different.” ... Read More | 
Feb 12, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienAt previous stages in her career, Marissa Webb has designed for J Crew and Banana Republic, so she has a talent for understanding what the everyday woman is looking for in a wardrobe. This was visible in her Fall 2016 collection, a line of simplistic separates that were created for practicality rather than flair. This isn’t to say the collection lacked appeal. On the contrary, most of the collection felt beautiful and stylish, but the streamlined, floor-length coats, windowpane plaid suits and chunky knit turtlenecks were intended for a more sophisticated palette. ...

Feb 11, 2016 | Contributor: JustLuxe TeamMax and Lubov Azria’s BCBG Fall 2016 was a beautiful respite from the traditionally feminine pieces that the brand is known for. This season felt fresh with an architecturally-designed line of asymmetrical sweaters, raw denim, patchwork knits and angular cuts. The use of unexpected fabrics like gold Lurex and funky pieces like slashed leggings gave the line a youthful, almost rebellious vibe. ... Read More | 
Feb 10, 2016 | Contributor: JustLuxe TeamIt would be a mistake to think that major brands are the highlight of NYFW. Hidden amongst the Alexander Wangs and Ralph Laurens there’s an entire subcategory of up-and-coming names that are showcasing some truly conceptual designs. Katie Gallagher’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection, Veiled, is a monochromatic line of black silk, lambskin, buckskin, pony hair, velvet and lace that captures the originality that some of the more seasoned designers are lacking. ...

But all of that is about to change. ... Read More |
