NYFW report SS 17

Street kids, girl gangs and modern romance. New York Fashion Week at its finest.

COACH 1941
From leather varsity jackets to studs and fringing, Coach 1941’s SS 17 show presented a visual assault of hardened girl-gang biker-punk vibes counterbalanced by sheer lace in moody tones.

Go big or go home.

HOOD BY AIR
With creativity in spades, Hood by Air’s underground aesthetic was on full display for SS 17 with streetwear cornerstones in various states of deconstruction.

ALEXANDER WANG
Young and restless for Alexander Wang SS 17. Bikini tops, board shorts and deconstructed shirting all for the taking. The Wang squad is stronger than ever.

I am woman.

PRABAL GURUNG
Silk dresses, leather pants and printed tees for Prabal Gurung’s SS 17 collection, inspired by Gloria Steinem’s My Life on the Road.

PROENZA SCHOULER
A multitude of cutouts in bright primary colours playfully combined with the pleats, knots and ties for Proenza Schouler SS 17.

Soft touch.

VICTORIA BECKHAM
Decedent peppermint and lilac crushed silks made way for shimmering all-velvet looks and plunging necklines at the Victoria Beckham SS 17 show. A new take.

3.1 PHILLIP LIM
Models walked the runway fluttering in petals for 3.1 Phillip Lim SS 17. Floral prints with injections of denim and colour pops of yellow.

Artful reflection.

DION LEE
A play on light. Toying with the concept of outerwear, Dion Lee SS 17 was bold and oversized, complemented by minimalist shades.

ZIMMERMANN
Young romantics. Lace was layered upon tulle and tassels complemented prints to express a more is more mentality for Zimmermann SS 17.

All you need is love.

MICHAEL KORS
 Vivid floral prints and ruffles toned back with black, white and navy tailoring for Michael Kors SS 17.

ALTUZARRA
“I wanted something that felt happy, joyous, flirty, and fun.” Python prints and ruffles and figure-skimming shapes for Joseph Altuzarra’s SS 17 offering.

So fresh.

OSCAR DE LA RENTA
A modern romance was told at Oscar De La Renta SS 17 as models paraded summer dresses and evening gowns through the iconic Morgan Library.

JEREMY SCOTT
All about the 80’s. Jeremy Scott’s SS 17 show was a psychedelic mix of neon colour and graphic prints. Rated X.

Seasons change.

RAG & BONE
A collection suitable for any time of year. Rag & Bone SS 17 saw baggy jeans, oversized sweaters and floral printed dresses.

DKNY
Oversized tailoring and luxe activewear collide for the next chapter in the label’s streetwise uniform. DKNY SS 17 posed questions for the future.

Move with me.

TOME
Signature shirting and black white prints were with injected bursts of colour for Tome SS 17. Just add ruffles.
