Day Seven of New York fashion week began with American designer Nanette Lepore’s collection of raspberries, cherries and cinnamon, focusing on textures with velvet, knits and beading.

Celebrity favourite 3.1 Philip Lim opted for colour blocking, in shades of bronze, nudes and blue. Famed for his much coveted dresses, the collection also included plenty of (seventies inspired) flared trousers.

Michelle Smith’s label Milly showed a collection of sophisticated, feminine pieces with an Upper East Side polish. Preppy prints were completed with bright hosiery and bow headbands.

Notoriously provocative brazillian designer Alexandre Herchcovitch’s collection was inspired by a Russian Urban warrior, with models wearing traditional headdresses and ethic prints, with sophisticated, utilitarian tailoring.

Famed bohemian designer, Anna Sui, went for pure hippie chic with plenty of prints, knits and velvet. Looks were completed with leather bags and bobble hats. Top models Karen Elson and Agyness Deyn took the runway, in two tone snakeskin brogues.

Finishing the day, Oscar de la Renta’s protégé Brian Reyes went for high octane glamour with floor sweeping gowns, chiffon dresses and belted fur. Hues of grey, teal and gold made for a sophisticated and luxe collection.
