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.

The Row Resort 2013

If The Row ruled the world, we’d all be wearing a lineup of timeless, yet androgynous, luxe clothing. Ribbed turtlenecks (yep, they’re coming back), slouchy trousers and cover-all maxi coats are crafted in gorgeous white, black, orangey-gold and a perfect shade of lavender. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s 26-years certainly project a highly advanced, sophisticated vision, with parkas, hoods and leggings kept things casual and contemporary. Downplayed, but not undervalued, this muted collection of luxury, elegance, and every day quite possibly defines why the twins recently won the Council of Fashion Designers of Aamerica’s Womenswear Designer of the Year Award.
