I'm releasing a bonus post in honor of New York Fashion Week!!! It's an article I wrote for my campus newspaper that hasn't been revised yet, but I like the conversational tone when I'm addressing my beloved readers :)
Chic outerwear dominates the runway, fall NYFW 2015
The NYFW, also referred to as Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (MBFW), show is a semi-annual event that showcases all of fashion’s favorite designers’ collections for the upcoming season.
The fashion industry works about 6 – 12 months in advance, so February is the time for Fall Fashion Week. What does that mean for us? Coats on coats on coats!
Style preferences aside, every fashionista had something to drool over at last week’s New York Fashion Week shows.
Designers like J. Mendel, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, and Proenza Schouler particularly continue to amaze me. After watching footage of these shows and scouring through pictures, these four designers really stand out. Their intricate, original outerwear pieces will leave your North Face jacket seeming lack-luster.

J. Mendel – Depth and Dimension Mendel is notorious for his use of multiple textures and layers of fabric to create clothes with incredible depth and dimension. His deliberate use of blacks and whites let each outfit thrive on the appearance of texture, without color standing in the way. Michael Kors – Fur, Fur, Fur! Because I’m a diehard Kors fan, I’m a little biased when I say I’m completely in love with his outerwear pieces for fall of 2015. It’s as if he sat down one day and made a list of everything he could create out of fur that would still look sophisticated and stylish. And create he did - vests, neck warmers, cloaks, even fur pockets on knit sweaters – Kors thought of it all, and delivered with beautiful execution. Calvin Klein – Totally Mod CK really channeled the 60’s and 70’s with this collection. The dresses that walked down his runway radiated a mod, refined vibe, and the outwear he created was a perfect compliment. Klein put his twist on the perfectly classic cut coats by tweaking each individual one to make it relevant. A crowd favorite was the “high shine” red coat with the giant buttons (which is worth Googling, if you haven’t seen it already). Talk about dressing to impress. |
