What to remember about New York Fashion Week
After 10 days of marathon, 300 parades and hundreds of models walking the catwalks, the Fashion Week of New York is well and truly over. First week of calendar fashion, she is the first to sketch the trends for next season: the Spring-Summer 2014. And yes it's all the magic of fashion: we have just returned from our holidays we can already guess what we will wear next summer.
So the program, black and white. Of Ralph Lauren à Oscar de la Renta through Proenza Schouler and Calvin Klein, all succumbed to the call of this timeless two-color duo in all its forms. Stripes, checks, flowers, geometric patterns: there will be something for everyone.
Questions colors, Earth colors - ocher, camel, khaki - are still as trendy, giving a very "Out of Africa" to the collections in the image of Michael Kors and Donna Karan. Ethnic prints were also very present on these parades. Other creators have also had fun mixing color block and pastel in their collections whether it's in neo-bourgeois fashion at Oscar de la Renta or sporty chic at Tommy Hilfiger. Finally, animal prints like the python, the leopard or the zebra will always have the same rating next summer.
Regarding the cuts, the silhouettes are generally rather broad and loose, made of overlays of long dresses, fluid trench coats and vaporous blouses. Minimalism is still in vogue among designers like Alexander Wang who favor pure pieces such as the bra, the cropped top or the skater skirt, very present throughout the pieces. Fashion Week.
Finally, this week of American fashion was marked by the presence of materials, parts traditionally reserved for winter. We have seen leather gloves at Alexander Wang, fur stoles at Michael Kors or fringed suede boots at Marc Jacobs.
