And we’re on to day six of New York Fashion Week, with yesterday’s focus on grown up glamour and extravagant gowns, day six continued in a similar vein with Elie Tahari beginning proceedings with a nomadic theme to her collection, with safari jackets, high waisted trousers and military jackets – as well as neat mens tailoring.
Badgely Mischka showed a collection of high-shine, mega-watt dresses inspired by constellations – with sequins, sparkles and ruffles. Equally focussed on evening wear was Vera Wang, who made the LBD a centre focus of her collection, amped up with chiffon blouses, feather details and jewel details.
Pamella Roland’s collection was heavily influenced by the 1920s flapper, with lavish prints, detailed embroidery and art deco beading, all decorating muted shades. Cloche hats and boyish cuts completed the look.
Dennis Basso went all out glamour with his collection of black leathers and furs, including over the knee lace up boots. True to form, the collection was mean and moody, with an emphasis on durable outerwear.
Max Azria showed a stripped back collection of nudes and greys, with a focus on textures and construction rather than patterns. The third show from this design duo, the focus was less on glitz or glamour, and more on form and structure.
Thuy’s collection included plenty of embellishment – with panels of glittery sequins inserted into neat panels, with plenty of deep, shimmering bronze.
Tibi opted for her a signature mix of sophisticated and sexym with feminine and flirty nature inspired looks.
Finally, Narcisco Rodriguez finished up the day with a suptumous and elegant collection of somber colours, precise detail and architectural shapes.
