7 Feb - NYFW || AW14 RTW 01

Alas, New York Fashion Week is upon us. Better yet, the Autumn Winter collections, my favourite! This season in texture we're seeing a lot of "teddy bear" like fabrics, knits and overall fluff! For colours, lots of black (love!) amongst pops of mod like colour, beiges and ivories and various shades of deep blues and deep reds.

Rebecca Minkoff
I really loved the contrast of dark pieces with pastel pieces. The light flowy pinks, and then the hard leather lines. These are my four favourite looks, and I would honestly wear the entire outfits, as opposed to just pieces. I'm a huge fan of Rebecca Minkoff, and this was another killer collection! 


Kate Spade
I loved the pop of colour in the line, and the very mod looks. So different from what we've been seeing so far. It was also really cool how they played with different textures; the leopard print jacket, the fluffy "teddy bear" skirt, the crisp slacks, the feathers. They also featured a segment with one of my favourite colours, cobalt blue, so I was quite happy seeing that!



Jason Wu
First off, let me start by saying ADRIANA LIMA THO.. the  epitome of a super model, my ultimate girl crush, the BEST way to start a show, I was thrilled! ANYWAY, as a complete monochromist, I loved how the show opened with a series of all black outfits - right up my alley! One of the silhouettes in particular was very remnant of 90s Calvin Klein to me. I also loved the transition to blue, so excited for this colour! The waistlines were very 40s and 50s. I can also see the bias cut slip dresses being very popular too. 


Charlotte Ronson
This is probably going to wind up being one of my favourite RTW collections of the season. Why? Because you know I love my all black.. These  pieces were all so versatile and chic, and I could see myself wearing 90% of this at any point, as opposed to a trendy piece. I'm very excited for this collection and will definitely look into grabbing a few pieces!




Helmut Lang
This is one of my favourite designers, as of the past year or so. I love the loose structure of the brand, and with this collection I'm really loving the textured pieces. Again, we're seeing the "teddy bear" like fabrics, along with knits and more fluff alongside the classic crisp pieces.

8 Feb - NYFW || AW13 RTW 02

Kate Spade
This collection was definitely all over the place - but in all of the right ways. Bright, colourful, cheeky prints are shown, as well as dark neutrals, and finally some more masculine silhouettes. My favourite outfit was the very last one as it is definitely something I would wear. I also quite liked the third outfit - so fun!





Jason Wu
Wu set out to create his most grown-up collection to date, and I think he's definitely succeeded with that. Still very feminine however, there were some great, straight, masculine cuts. It was all very monochromatic, with only bursts of red. My favourites from the collection were the third and last outfit.


Rebecca Minkoff
Definitely not one of my favourite shows - I just wasn't wowed by it. There was definitely a tomboy vibe to the collection with all of the layering going on. A highlight was definitely the outerwear which I would agree is Minkoff's strong suit. Again we're seeing lots of knits and leather, which I'm quite excited for! My favourite outfits were the first one and then the last three - love the blues! 

What are you thoughts on NYFW so far? Any trends you're loving?
