CRS 231-New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week is known for being the premier fashion show in the world. People that aren’t even interested in fashion have heard of this event. This is the week where top designers get to unveil their collections to other designers and wealthy clients. The people that attend New York Fashion Week are of the finest in the fashion industry and many celebrities. While scrolling through the list of designers, I came across many names that I didn’t know. Some of the names that I did recognize and admire were BCBG Maxazria, Betsey Johnson, Calvin Klein, and Miss Sixty.
I went through and watched many of the videos from designers that I knew and didn’t know, looking for a common link to connect them all. However, I came to the realization that each designer was so different from the next, whether it was the material used or color palette chosen. One of my favorites to watch was Miss Sixty. Although the clothes may not be wearable for the average person like me, it was edgy and unique, more so than the other designers I looked at. The collection was extremely sexy, consisting of long flowing dresses (with matching bags) to tight short shorts. A wide assortment of material was used, each piece unlike the next. It definitely kept my attention. The one consistency I found was the knee high, striped stockings on almost every model, almost as if was a trade mark of Miss Sixty. I could absolutely see high fashion women in Europe wearing this line.
Calvin Klein was another designer that presented a terrific collection (no surprise there). Unlike Miss Sixty, this line was very structured but still extremely feminine. The majority of the pieces were a nude color; occasionally I saw a pop of blue of silver in one of the dresses. In my opinion, this collection is certainly wearable for women in America that are interested in fashion. I think this line was targeted to professional women. The dresses were amazing, and the material used looked really comfortable as well. The entire line was very appealing to the eye.
