New York Fashion Week Spring ’17: Proenza Schouler’s Playful Primary Colors

Proenza Schouler has been a steady staple in fashion week’s of the past and have proved to be a reliable source of trends to look to in seasons to come. Their New York Fashion Week Spring 2017 collection kept the dream alive with displays in saturated primary colors playing against stark black and white bases. The use of bold patterns and rich textures brought the collection to a higher level, once again confirming their place on the top is well deserved

New York Fashion Week: Victoria Beckham Serves Up Spring With Ease

Victoria Beckham is quickly becoming one of my favorite ready-to-wear designers (though I feel like I’m coming in a little late in the game) as she has been putting out incredibly well thought out and tailored collections for several years now. Her New York Fashion Week Spring 2017 collection was no exception as she took many of fashions trending moments, gave them a spin and made them completely something that I’m willing to give a shot (I’m looking at you 1990’s era crushed velvet)

New York Fashion Week Spring ’17: Jason Wu’s Artistically Adorned Day Wear

New York Fashion Week Spring ’17: Sonia by Sonia Rykiel’s Casual Country Chic

New York Fashion Week is yet again upon us and as the excitement of what the future holds in fashion is buzzing, I can’t help but cover the biggest fashion event of the year for our first post, and pay tribute to a fashion great that was very recently lost. Sonia Rykiel may no longer be with us, as she just recently passed away in August, but her namesake fashion house and collection (now headed by Julie de Libran) did not fail to keep her spirit alive
