I hate to leave you in suspense any longer, so let’s cut RIGHT to the chase: here are the biggest trends to emerge from New York Fashion Week, fall 2015 collections! As you progress through this feature, you’ll find each trend accompanied by corresponding looks, and keep in mind that you can adapt these for your lifestyle, without the need to fully mimic the highly stylized versions of the trends.

The best way to do it is with an accessory, like a handbag or shoe that represents the trend, then moving onto larger scale items. i.e. garments, when you feel that the trend is right for you. The most important take away from fall/winter 2015 is that the ’70s are back in a MAJOR way. It’s really quite incredible how evident it was across many of the collections this season, and in fact, most of the trends spotted for the season are a take off what was popular during that very decade.

The 70s

Designers Rebecca Minkoff, Reem Acra, and Dennis Basso sited 70s-ish inspiration, be it an icon (Patti Smith; Stevie Nicks); or the overall glamour from the era. There was a fair share of bohemia abounding, looking best and feeling most modern when it was restrained and paired with realistic silhouettes without feeling too costumey and decade-decadent.
