New York Fashion Week 2014 – Fall/Winter 2014/15

New York fashion week kicks off the Spring Fashion Trends 2015, and more will be unveiled over the next few weeks runways worldwide.  However to give you a preview, the key trends you need to watch out for include:

Fashion Trends 2015  

Mid Rift - Get stomach crunching - Crop Tops are in…Hopefully if you read our superfoods article you were paying attention as health and crop tops are at the top of the agenda. The mid rift style tops took over the runways at New York Fashion Week – clashing and matching, every style was in.

Minimalistic Lounge and Boyish Tailoring - Victoria Beckham, Theory, Thomas Concord and Peter Michael Dills designed their collection in part with boyish tailoring, lounge suits and layers – it was a minimalistic in style and a more relaxed look. The pieces were different styles of lounge with key attention to detail on the layering and styling.




Metallic  - Metallic is one of the key trends and was seen all over the catwalk from Ralph Ricci Jason Wu – the colour gold was a key theme but whatever the colour metallic will be a strong trend to incorporate into your wardrobe.

90’s are back!  - Who would of thought it..the 90’s overall design and adaptions were seen on the runways – again combined with the layering look and ‘ sportswear’ trends.
Rag ‘n’ Bone, DKNY, Alexander Wnt, Y-3 all included variations influenced by the 90’s era and given this ear a modern re-styling.



‘ Middle Parted Hair,  Braids and Tangerine Lipstick’  made an impact  – whether designers or highstreet this summer you will see the braided and middle parting ‘ slick’ look with strong matt lipsticks especially tangerine – this trends won’t wait till next year – I can guarantee this summer these styles will be everywhere.


White is the New Black - A personal favourite – white collections were seen across all the runways, where it be sport or couture. White is a major theme – long dresses, jackets, tailored trousers – white is one of the colours along with gold and metallic should be in your wardrobe.


Translucent and Lace - Sheer and translucent layers formed an integral part of collections – light and floaty, they were styled across the catwalks – they were combined with prints, patterns, and sequins. They were accessorised with statement jokers  and large bangles or cuffs. The style was very feminine, elegant and floaty.

Monochrome Rocks - New York Fashion Week confirmed that black and white continues to be top the trends, it was seen in all different shapes and forms. Patterns, prints, stripes – all the big designers included it in their collections. Layered, tailored, lounge – whatever style – monochrome ruled.
