The 80’s have seemingly been this season’s biggest trend, as elements from the decade have popped up in every city throughout fashion month. In New York, color seemed to play the biggest role on the runway, and many designers like Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera, and Adam Selman opted for vibrant, 80’s inspired hues as opposed to subtle neutrals. At Tibi, a collection inspired by cities and architecture, featured bright orange, yellow, and blue, all in oversized, relaxed silhouettes. Jeremy Scott, who is often influenced by the 80’s decade, showed a sci-fi inspired collection featuring tracksuits, neon accessories, and puffer jackets in bold colors and metallic finishes.

Just try to escape the 90’s; the runways certainly won’t let forget about the decade for fall 2018! The year 1997, to be precise, when Ben Affleck was “Chasing Amy,” is the one that appears to be highlighted the most, particularly in the
All Comes from Nothing collection. Set as a dedication to artist
Gustav Klimt, the lineup featured layered velvet coupled with black leather moto jackets and side seam striped pants that were prevalent on the runway, which gave way to modern updates to items such as silver puffers with a mix of fur and high-tech knit mesh paneling to complete these looks. To accessorize the looks, the UK bag brand
COOME gave an additional nod to the
1990’s with its micro black leather backpacks and canteen bags reminiscent of vintage Chanel but with a modern fringe update.
Overall, this is a collection of fall must-haves, perfect for those experiencing 90’s fashion for the first, or second time around.

As fashion week continues to make its way around the globe, I wanted to take pause and marvel at the ingenious designs, craftsmanship, and overall creativity that is the undercurrent for spring 2018. Please enjoy some of my top picks that range from the most incredible of eveningwear to cool casual separates to bags, and over to the categories that always complete the look: nails, hair, and makeup.

With fashion month now coming to a close, Paris Fashion Week solidified the major trends that we’ll most definitely be seeing in spring 2018. Following in the footsteps of New York, London, and Milan, key trends from Paris continue to be bold and daring. One standout trend from the runways is patent leather/vinyl pieces, featured prominently in both clothing and accessories. Designers like Balmain, Proenza Schouler, and Isabel Marant all incorporated this look into their most recent collections.
Kym Ellery was inspired by forward thinkers of the 20th century, as well as the 1960’s decade when creating her spring 2018 line. The collection was packed with references to retro-looks, and included pieces like statement blouses and flared pants, as well as a black patent leather a-line skirt. Designer Tuomas Merikoski of AALTO featured this trend in the form of a slouchy pant, while in the accessories department, Proenza Schouler paired every look with a pair of patent leather, pointed toe shoes.
