Many designers paraded their outfits down the catwalks at New York City Fashion Week in what has been a delightful mix of  bright, bold prints, tribal and asymmetric cuts – along with daring makeup, elegant ballgowns and the return of sleek hair, a la 1950s.
Fashionistas look to New York City Fashion Week for inspiration and style guidance.
“Despite the number of foreign-born designers showing in New York, they manage to produce little variation in the prototypical woman: she’s either good or she’s bad,” reports the New York Times. The catwalks saw the battle between sexy vs classy.
Designers are taking on the recession headfirst with Arise: African Promise Collective showcasing a number of daring prints, outworldy colours and sequins for that added glitz and glamour that sure to knock you of your feet.
This was contrasted by Venexiana’s sleek, chic, feminine ballgowns in soft pinks and subtle whites. Crisp, clean shirts stole the show with designers adorning their designs with bows, ribbons for that sophisticated look.
