6 Trends from New York Fashion Week to Get You Excited About Spring

Throw away any preconceived ideas on how a shirt should fit. Proportions are mixed and deconstructed this season for something totally new.

3.1 Phillip Lim, Spring 2017

A festival favourite that feels fantastic to wear, it’s no surprise that fringe has made a return this season. The swooshing strings are contrasted with feminine fabrics for a new take on the trend.

Rodarte, Spring 2017

This feminine favourite keeps coming back. What feels especially new is reworking ruffles for both day and night. A stiff cotton, ruffled collar and jeans works just as well as a flowing, ruffled, evening gown.

Brock Collection, Spring 2017

Do your earrings hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? The message this season is ‘bigger is better’, with collections like Delpozo, Proenza Schouler and Rodarte showing earings that dust shoulders and collarbones. These larger than life jewels make a major statement.

Rodarte, Spring 2017

No hands, no problem. Designers yet again extended sleeves to almost impractical proportions, reaching far beyond fingertips. This trend borders on absurd but elevates a simple silhouette to super fashion forward.

Vera Wang, Spring 2017

Michael Kors, Spring 2017

Prabal Gurung, Spring 2017

Designers are skipping the shirt this season and opting for exposed bra tops. It’s not a huge jump from the crop top but can be sexy or sporty.
