Rompers, visors, silken nude and earth tones, slip dresses, so-wrongs, utilitarian bags, bold prints…the Nicholas K Spring/Summer 2017 collection might be my least favorite to date. I love the brand’s dark, modern, original and edgy aesthetic, but this feels like a watered down beachy meets 90’s show, although I do love the garments that are…

Hervé Léger Spring/Summer 2017 RTW
Hervé Léger’s Spring/Summer 2017 RTW collection featured the classic bandage dress, this time with a pleated and studded twist, among dresses that were either gorgeous and elevated or over worked. The ruffles, the tie-straps, the fur chunky heels…some of the dresses were a lot piled on top of too much, which is a design and…
Siki Im SS17 Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear NYFWM SS17
Herem pants, moto jeans, weird proportions and granny cuts, the Siki Im Spring/Summer 2017 menswear collection was hit and miss. The color palette consisted of salmon, black, gray, and army green and camel. The longline looks, the coats of which had zipper attachments to add length, the layering, the illusion contrast details, and utilitarian bag…
John Varvatos SS17 Spring/Summer 2017 menswear NYFWM SS17
Leather met military inspirations and contrasting classic suiting and prints in the John Varvatos SS17 Spring/Summer 2017 menswear collection fashion show. The color palette included white, cream, graphite, light gray, camel, navy and soft blue. Print textiles, pinstripes, gingham, there’s something about classic menswear that looks so chic- the vest, the jacket, the pants- all…
Linder SS17 spring/summer 2017 menswear
Linder SS17 spring/summer 2017 menswear collection was androgynous with lengthy long-line shirts, cropped jackets, interesting bags, play with volume and silhouette, asymmetry in the muscle tee/tank, and artsy graphic t-shirts. Flared leg jeans, the suede emerald green and zebra jacket- the 70’s references were wearable and trendy. Some of the looks came off too feminine,…
DSquared2 Resort Spring/Summer 2017 SS17
Let your freak…errr…British flag fly with flag and patch detailed bags, unusual nose and lip jewelry, lace-up knee-high peep-toe boots, fedoras and caps, classic cut outerwear and shirting, cropped denim cargo vests, and bleached destroyed denim, the DSquared2 Resort Spring/Summer 2017 womenswear collection mixed the 70’s with a bit of a punk influence. The long…
Hood By Air Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear
I’ve spoken about multi-functional details and separates, jackets you can take off and attach to your outfit, for example. The Hood By Air Spring/Summer 2017 menswear collection featured zippers strategically placed to hold a jacket, a bag…or arm slings and straight jacket sleeves, or even in the construction- original details such as the pant leg…
Junya Watanabe Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear
The Junya Watanabe SS17 menswear collection stood out mostly for its graphic prints and contrasting sleeves on leather jackets and coats- or visa versa with leather sleeves on blazers. Something about the eye graphic print and halftone print face t-shirts look dark, the first of which reminds me of Dali for some reason, the later…
Thom Browne Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear
Thom Browne Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear took a bite out of fashion week…literally with shark bites cut out of pants, shark prints, experimentation with suiting- lapels, no lapels, collar and placket…wings! The green blazer- 😱. Although I usually don’t get Thom Browne, I appreciate the effort to be original, and there was this playful creativity to…
Givenchy Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear
The Givenchy Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear runway show was full of utilitarian pockets, cross-body bags and apron-esque front-packs, zipper slit details, and graphic prints, including cash money, checkers, and camo. Bucket hats paired with longline suits and sneakers, pinstripes contrasting camo, Givenchy SS17 was an interesting albeit less commercial show.
