Fashion Week

“Every year the women of New York leave the past behind and look forward to the future…this is known as Fashion Week.”

                                                       --Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

Last week from September 10^th – 17^th marked the start of the yearly event that fashionistas from all over anxiously await.  It’s Fashion Week! Where designers both old and new showcased their Spring/Summer 2016 collections.  Kicking off in New York, the runway included fashions from Tom Ford, Balenciaga, The Academy of Art, and Yeezy himself, Kayne West.  A lot of designers featured bomber jackets, capes on dresses, jackets and blouses, stripes, off-the-shoulder tops and fringed hems.  The most talked about show was from Givenchy’s Artistic Director Ricardo Tisci.  Honoring the losses from the tragic events of 9/11, he used a backdrop of New York City showcasing his collection.  Fashion week will continue in London (Sept. 18th- Sept. 22nd), Milan (Sept. 23rd - Sept. 29th) and ending in Paris (Sept. 30th- Oct. 6th).  

Whether it’s in New York, London, Milan or Paris, Fashion Week is a platform for designers to express themselves and make statements.  “Collections” is a group of ideas transformed into materials, in which we call clothes that allow individuality. The power can be overwhelming, shocking, and brilliant as seen by designers such as Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, Vivian Westwood and the debut collection by Brandon Maxwell.
