New York Fashion Week 2014 Recap: Day 1
Featuring BCBGMaxAzria, Desigual, Todd Snyder and Nicholas K
New York Fashion Week officially kicked off February 6th with designer collections for Fall/Winter 2014/15. Because I could not be there due to a crazy ice storm, power outage and broken foot, I’m relying on the team from FashionMingle.net to fill you in.
They spotted these opening day trends …
Color – Popular colors for the day were black and white, burgundy, rich hues of green, purple & blue, cream/off-white, browns and greys. BCBGMaxAzria added pops of pastels to their collections with peach and teal stripes on black and white garments. They also went back to an old favorite: color-blocking
Fabric – Wool, Leather, Suede and Fur. BCBGMaxAzria had fun with fabric blocking, sewing together suede, leather and fur into one look.
Style and Fit – Tadashi Shoji showed us that laser-cutting may never go out of style. One after the other, impeccable laser cut designs came down the runway giving an illusion of lace overlays. BCBGMaxAzria favored the Caftan silhouette and some asymmetrical hemlines on their skirts and dresses. They seemed to incorporate splits wherever possible. Todd Snyder’s menswear collection focused on slim fitting pants that landed just above the ankle. Remember when high-water pants were a no-no? Not anymore! Nicholas K stayed true to their edgy aesthetic but kept their models bundled up with exaggerated turtlenecks, infinity hoodies & beanies.
Accessories – Nicholas K had fun with their accessories by using rope for some wrist action, while Desigual favored leather gloves.
