Feb 22, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienBeyoncé looks killer in a skin-baring, bedazzled mini dress, but not everyone can pull off such a theatrical design.

As is his forte, the designer sent skintight dresses, barely-there fabrics and a series of strategically cut out numbers down the Fall 2016 runway. ... Read More | 
Feb 22, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien“I love fashion! It should be fashion,” Jonathan Anderson declared backstage before the start of his J.W. Anderson Fall 2016 runway show.

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 StempienIt’s almost nostalgic to think about how Fashion Week used to be an industry event that focused on editors, buyers and industry insiders just a few years ago. Now it’s turned into a circus of models, celebrities and street style stars vying for the crown of most fashionable maven of the week. But for those looking to get noticed, donning an all Moschino outfit and taking a few Instagram shots, just won’t do. ... Read More | 
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 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 |

For his Fall/Winter 2016 menswear collection, he offered up an elevated look at his long-running aesthetic. The line felt easy, simple and effortless.

Feb 2, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienIn recent years, men’s style has gained quite a following. Now it’s almost impossible to hit the streets of Men’s Fashion Week without seeing a hoard of well-groomed gents peacocking outside.

Feb 2, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien“I’m thinking about the student of the future and played on the idea of the uniform,” said Edmund Ooi of his Fall/Winter 2016 collection. Shown yesterday during New York Fashion Week: Men’s, Ooi's latest collection was inspired by the school boys of tomorrow, but nothing felt futuristic or kitschy, it was a down-to-earth look at what men might be wearing a few hundred years from now—or more realistically—next winter. ...

Feb 2, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienThere is no denying that bloggers are the latest fashion “It” girls.

So exactly how much is your favorite blogger making every time you heart their pic? ... Read More | 
Jan 29, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienJean Paul Gaultier is good at putting on a show. Sometimes it upstages his designs and other times it takes a backseat to his sartorial presentation, but there’s no denying the entertainment value of it. This season he was inspired by the infamous ‘80s Parisian nightclub Le Palace, so naturally, he recreated the club on his Spring 2016 couture catwalk. ... Read More | 
Jan 29, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien“I love the possibilities of corsets. You could say I wanted to put women in a gilded cage,” Zuhair Murad noted backstage at the start of his Spring 2016 couture show. His latest collection was a nod to the romanticism of the past with a line of historically-inspired fairy tale designs. Models came down the runway in pastel, floor-length ball gowns with metal crowns upon their head like 18th century princesses. ... Read More |
