This most recent New York Fashion Week came with newly revived trends from the 80’s and early 90’s, complete with accentuated shoulders, off-the-shoulder tops, voluminous silhouettes, and plenty of ruffles. A standout trend from this category though, was the classic power suit, revamped. With the rise of androgyny on the runway over the past few years, this is not a surprising direction for brands to embark upon. Designers like Calvin Klein, Vivienne Tam, and Jason Wu all showed versions of the menswear-inspired suit look, each with its own unique styling.

Amy Smilovic of Tibi included pinstripe blazers in an extra-oversized fit, while more classically tailored pieces in monochromatic styling appeared on the runway at The Row. At Nicole Miller, edgy, grunge inspired suiting was featured in the collection, complimented by graphic embroidery and dark, smudged eye makeup.

Click through the slideshow above to see other designers’ take on the classic style, sure to be a staple once again this coming fall season.

Just as fall is about to begin, New York Fashion Week is taking us past the colder seasons and right into Spring/Summer 2017. There are still plenty of shows to come, but key trends for the next summer season are already making themselves known. Long, effortless silhouettes, eccentric prints, and monochromatic looks all make the list, but many designers are choosing to showcase one of the most classic, and uber-girly trends of them all: ruffles. Jill Stuart took a well-fitting, subtle and modern approach in her most recent collection, showing her signature black and white looks with complementing ruffle detailing. Contrasting that was found in Brock Collection, whose use of bold ruffle detailing on the slits of midi skirts made a huge statement on the runway.

Creatures of Comfort and Marissa Webb went with perhaps the most attractive route to this trend seen thus far, and chose to incorporate smaller ruffles into blouses and breezy sundresses. Ruffles played a key role in Webb’s collection, who reiterated before her show that she aims to dress the New York, modern, feminine woman. Click through the slideshow above to see more of how this season’s designers incorporated the ruffle trend into their collections, a look that will surely make its way into your summer wardrobe, if it isn’t there already.

NYFW Spring 2014: Jill Stuart, Nonoo

The Show: Jill Stuart

The Theme: Rock N’ Roll Riviera

The Color Palette: Black and White

The Collection’s Best Look: If you can imagine being a rock n’ roller’s girlfriend, jet-setting to the French Riviera wearing flirty, flouncy baby doll dresses and short leather skirts with bohemian lace tops, then you’ll feel right at home with Jill Stuart’s Spring 2014 collection. Cut outs, strong shoulders, and coy shorts were not only cheeky but also a bit psychedelic, 1960’s chic. Black and white combined with leather and lace, give way to the pretty young things enroute to the Riviera, or at the least, a fabulously warm locale.
