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.

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.
