The Show:  Nonoo

The Theme: Natural light and space

The Color Palette: Neutral hues of white, blue, black, and gray

The Signature Piece: Oversized coats, fur, and versatile dresses dominated Nonoo’s fall 2014 collection, but Misha Nonoo’s plaid constructed blazer with a white fur trim is definitely a show stopper. The tailoring of the blazer exudes professional sophistication brought to the sportswear category, while the fur trim adds a bit of originality, personality, and intensity.

The Show: Emerson By Jackie Fraser-Swan

The Theme: Shiny Austerity

The Color Palette: Black and gray with a pop of pink

The Signature Piece: Fraser-Swan’s Fall 2014 collection was composed of androgyny, edge, and femininity. The dark colors, loosely proportioned jackets, and printed sweaters were fresh, young, and cool. Each piece brought to the surface a  personality of its own, but Fraser-Swan’s sequined jumpsuit was a stunner. Heavily textured and padded, this jumpsuit exudes ski slope chic. If this piece isn’t making you jump for joy at the thought of six more weeks of winter, I don’t know what will.

NYFW FALL 2013: Emerson

The Show: Emerson

The Theme:  ’90s Grunge

The Color Palette: Grey and burgundy contrasted with yellow and navy plaids

The Signature/Standout Look: The combination of leather and plaid in Emerson’s Fall 2013 collection brought us back to the glory days of early ’90s.  Perfectly cut black moto jackets, shift dresses, and carefree flowing plaid skirts reflected a mix of punk-British style with grunge that we’ve grown love exponentially, however there is more tailoring than slouch this time around. The use of sheer plaid and tweed fabrics in yellow and navy gave the collection an original twist. Our absolute favorite piece was a pair of half black, half purple leather pants. They are both funky and practical – a great statement item for fall!

The Show: Chado Ralph Rucci

The Theme: Bright, sleek, couture, and modern

The Color Palette: White and black accented with shocking pink, chrome yellow, coral, and grass green.

Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: The combination of bold colors and precise cuts made the entire collection extremely powerful and defining of a new take on Rucci’s signature aesthetic. Printed silk, wool suits and suede dresses were embellished with razor cut-outs, beading and feathers. The highlight of the collection was a black wool crepe suit with razor cut-outs. What made this look exceptional was the braided neon piping along the left sleeve. The detailing was original and the quality craftsman ship was impeccable and  evident.

The Show: Emerson

The Theme: ’70s punk with a modern and feminine twist

The Color Palette: Black, white, electric blue, bright red, neon orange, and purple

Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: Inspired by horror films from the 1970s, Emerson’s spring 2013 collection displayed edgy looks, including angled, draped dresses, leather varsity jackets, red velvet tulle and nylon and metal blends. The harshness of leather, studs and fishnets was complimented with long, flowing dresses and skirts and feminine, printed silks. The standout look of the show was a printed silk dress with leather accents and a black nylon skirt. It was paired with polka dot, knee-high nylon stockings and black and white strap wedges.

The Show: Orla Kiely

The Theme: Summer in the ’60s

The Color Palette:

Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: The collection was presented as a short film, which was viewed out of a fittingly printed trailor set-up in the back of Orla Kiely’s SoHo store. The prints and cuts of every outfit brought nostalgia for summer vacations and trips to Palm Springs. The cropped trousers, boatneck dresses, Peter Pan collars, and floral and nautical prints exuded vintage awareness. A favorite piece was a red leather romper with long sleeves, gold buttons, and a plunging neckline. The cut was extremely unique while the color was assertive and commanding.
