New York Fashion Week is quickly coming to a close, and the most prominent trends from the runways are now making themselves known. Many have not been subtle, as several designers have opted for statement pieces in both clothing and accessories as opposed to minimalism this season. In terms of accessories, one particular stand-out trend has been the headpiece. Designers like Altuzarra, Nicholas K, Lela Rose, and Norma Kamali have incorporated the dramatic accessory into their collections, adding an edge to the styling of each look.
Vaquera’s designers were inspired by the American Dream, while Nicholas K was influenced by street fashion in the 90’s. Sachin & Babi drew from jewels and lively prints found in India; they showed a smaller sized, beaded headpiece paired with a beige embroidered dress. On the subtler, more classic side of things were Kate Spade, Lela Rose, and CG, all of which showed more restrained versions of the accessory.
Click through the slideshow above to see how other designers incorporated one of the more daring accessories into their upcoming Fall/Winter collections.

The Show: Nicholas K Fall 2013
The Theme: Unisex is best
The Color Palette: Sand, olive, charcoal, muted cobalt
The Collection’s Signature Look: No one does layers better than Nicholas K — no one. This season proved that the masters of the cool downtown draped look have returned to claim their thrown, and the layering pieces, from cropped ponchos to long scarf-like shawl sweaters and slouchy, Dolman sleeves can be swapped between him and her. From day to evening options, every single pieces stays within the Nicholas K. framework of approachable wearibility, making even a fur trimmed long coat casual.

The Theme: Desert Storm
The Color Palette: beige, cream, white, ochre
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: While fun, styled accessories came into play (oversized oval glasses, beanie hats, head scraves, arm warmers, and men’s shoes by Vintage Shoe Company), we loved the effortless, chic layering and casual meets luxe hoodies that appeared in silken, parachute-like mixed materials. A favorite piece was certainly a cutaway trench coat that added a practical yet glam element to the collection.

I draw attention to this close up shot not for the bag- but for the ring (from Diane von Furstenberg)! I recently got one from my friends at Sorrelli that is identical!
