What’s the best thing about New York Fashion Week? Celebrity-watching? The wows of the runway? Or trend-spotting? It’s definitely trend-spotting. Here are some of the hottest fashion trends to emerge from New York Fashion Week.
The Trend: Thigh-High Slits
This season, it’s all about long hemlines…but that doesn’t mean designers are unafraid of showing a little skin. Or, in some cases, a lot of skin. Expect to see sexy slits aiming all the way to the upper thigh.
Who showed it?
Diane von Furstenberg, Michael Kors, Jason Wu, Cynthia Rowley.
The Trend:Five Colors
- Cobalt.
Diane von Furstenberg. Jenni Kayne. Cynthia Rowley. Jason Wu. Who wasn’t showing cobalt at NYFW? This rich color will look great on tons of skin tones. - Green.
Shoot for either olive or emerald–emerald especially made a big splash on the runways with Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, and Diane von Furstenberg all showing emerald showstoppers. - Red.
We’re talking bright red, as seen on Michael Kors, Rachel Corney, Diane von Furstenberg, and Rodarte. - Rust.
Echoing that earthy 70′s vibe, rust was seen on Vera Wang, Vena Cava, Marc Jacobs and Diane von Furstenberg. - Mustard.
Again, this is a result of so many designers playing with that 70′s palette. It was seen by Jenni Kayne, the Row, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Cynthia Rowley.
The Trend: Southwestern Wear
Native American prints, geometric Southwestern prints, and ponchos. Don’t dress like a Pocahontas costume, but definitely take advantage of this bold, new trend.
Who showed it?
Band of Outsiders, Vena Cava, Proenza Schouler.
The Trend: Calf-Length Skirts
The maxi still reigns supreme, but calf-length skirts have made a select appearance on the runway. Show off those ankles!
Who showed it?
Michael Kors, Karen Walker, Vera Wang..
