New York Fashion Week is only the first leg in a month-long extravaganza of fashion shows around the world.<\/p>\n
Since it is\u00a0the first stop, for the last couple of years it was regarded as the least impressive in comparison to the collections shown in London and Paris.<\/p>\n
However, this year, audiences were surprised by the moving collections full of inspiring clothes that pushed boundaries and sent a message.<\/p>\n
Established labels reinvented classic looks and emerging designers gave us reason to believe they are here to stay.<\/p>\n
In a collection dubbed as \u201cAmericana\u201d Raf Simmons, the new chief creative officer of the brand took the saying \u201cwhat goes around comes around\u201d to new heights.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Alexander Wang<\/p><\/div>\n
He took inspiration from America\u2019s diverse and chaotic fashion past filled with leather jackets, trouser suits and ribbed sweaters to create a new forward-thinking way of dress.<\/p>\n
He restructured sweaters and added mesh detailing, put plastic covering on top of feather dresses, a gold faux fur coat and plaid coats which was surprisingly beautiful.<\/p>\n
While some might have thought a runway show with no seats would be dreadful, Wang\u2019s mosh-pit audience perfectly reflected his gothic, all-black collection.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Adam Selman<\/p><\/div>\n
His studded bags, leather pants and graphic shirts added a new tier to New York street-style.<\/p>\n
The models stomped on the runway in patent leather boots while carrying chain-link bags that will definitely become the next it-girl accessories.<\/p>\n
Leave it to Selman to turn a Western cowboy look into something romantic and girly.<\/p>\n
His denim jumpsuits and rose embroidered jeans contrasted with converse and metallic sunglasses.<\/p>\n
However, the odd pairing created a surprising and causal that can be worn for a night on the town or a day with your friends.<\/p>\n
<\/a>BROCK Collection<\/p><\/div>\n
For those who long for the days women were ultra-feminine, this year\u2019s Vogue<\/em> contest winner is a gift to you.<\/p>\n The collection features knee-length dresses cinched at the waist in gingham and red fabrics.<\/p>\n The feminine clothes were accessorized with classic off-the shoulder fur coats and stools. At first glance the collection looks almost Italian, with their ruffled details and deep color palate.<\/p>\n However, there is an air of casualness to it, making it the perfect date-night attire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By SHELLIE FRAI New York Fashion Week is only the first leg in a month-long extravaganza of fashion shows around the world.
