September has always been a significant month in the fashion industry. It is when magazines are thick, buyers and merchandisers visit numerous showrooms to select styles and pieces for the upcoming season, and designers and fashion houses go all out with grand runway shows. Leading the pack is New York Fashion Week (NYFW). From urban chic looks to modern romantic styles, here are some of the trends we saw on the runways of the Big Apple.
Sheer illusion
Sheer fabrics take on a moody and romantic vibe. Think of Prabal Gurung’s one-shoulder dress with fireworks-like embellishments and 3.1 Phillip Lim’s sleepwear reimagined as daywear.
Pelvic cutout
NYFW introduces a new way to bare skin. As seen in Off-White and Brandon Maxwell’s shows, pelvic cutouts are the latest sexy approach to showing skin.
Show your stripes
One of the dominant graphic designs for the upcoming season is stripes, whether nautical, as seen in Proenza Schouler’s collection, or edgier, like those in Hervé Léger’s runway show.
Peplum resurgence
Prepare for a touch of flounce as the peplum makes a comeback. Brands such as Alaïa and Nanushka are giving this 2010s style a contemporary twist.
