Just to make this all bitesize, here are the top 5 trends I found on the catwalks at NYFW for SS16.
1. NEUTRAL | WHITE, BLANC, BIANCO
Top L-R: Jonathan Simkhai, Elie Tahari, Lela Rose, Redebjer, Rodarte Bottom L-R: Pamella Roland, Tadashi Shoji, Tibi, Givenchy, Kate Spade Image Credit Vogue, Kate Spade Image Credit WWD |
2. COLOUR | GLITTERING JEWELS
L-R: Jenny Packham, Altuzarra, Marissa Webb, Jason Wu, Monique Lhullier Image Credit Vogue |
Amber, ruby, emerald, sapphire, amethyst and topaz. If you thought rich hues were the property of Autumn, then it seems they've been rocketed into Spring faster than you can say 'Jeez, I was predicting pastels'. Any old how, I for one love this update - it's refreshing and luxe. Semi precious, semi precocious, completely divine. I heart Monique Lhullier, Tibi and Jason Wu.

3. DETAILS | RUFFLES & FRILLS

With the whisper of sequins and a few zany prints here and there, I think we can safely say that 80s inspo is dawning with the new SS16 silhouette - ruffles. Now as much as I don't really want to go back there (it was acceptable in the 80s, it was acceptable at the time, etc), fast forward to 2016 and a well placed ruffle is truly feminine. Zac Posen, Vera Wang, Zimmermann, Freya Dalsjo, Tome and Prabal Gurung flamenco-d it fancy, and the fashion world saluted.
4. PRINT | TRAVELS & TRIBES

5. STATEMENT | THE SUIT

One stop shop for the new season? For NYFW, make it the suit. We're moving on a little further in the world of co-ords (or for those a little older, revisiting the 80s once more) and getting a contemporary twist on it all. Nothing says power like a suit, and New York is all about packing a punch.
Stand out show?
Diane von Furstenberg because it felt like a party, Rodarte because it felt like a wonderland and Tory Burch, for making me want to go on holiday all over again.
Hold on to your hats, we're rolling off to LFW...!
