Mar 2, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienDesigners Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant just presented their sophomore collection of the recently revived Courrèges label at Paris Fashion Week. The French house, which was purchased in 2011, has been faithfully following the aesthetic of the founder with a lineup of athletic-inspired ready-to-wear. They’ve managed to successfully maintain the story of the brand while still bringing it into 2016—this season they did so with a line of wearable tech. ... Read More | 
Mar 1, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien“I like it when effects are not so obvious,” Tomas Maier said in his program notes. “Something that’s usually very fancy doesn’t need to be. It can be done differently.” For his Fall 2016 Bottega Veneta line, the creative director opted to leave behind the idea of themes and inspiration, and create a collection that was beautiful in its simplicity. His work with fabric, patterns and cuts were polished, luxurious and decidedly effortless. ... Read More | 
Feb 29, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienEvery girl wants to be a princess—that was the thought process behind Dolce & Gabbana’s new Fall 2016 collection. Instead of taking us to the streets of Sicily (again) Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce dropped us firmly between the pages of our favorite fairy tales. The runway was filled with references to Cinderella, Snow White, Alice in Wonderland and Sleeping Beauty, reimagined for fashionable fantasy lovers. ... Read More | 
Feb 29, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien“It’s a warrior world,” Dan Caten said backstage of the Dsquared2 Fall 2016 collection. Brothers Dan and Dean Caten offered up a lineup of fashionable combat wear inspired by military, Victorian and samurai aesthetics. Drawing partially from the aristocratic designs of last year’s Fall 2015 collection and the Japanese influences in their Fall 2016 menswear line, the collection was a mashup derived from their previous work that surprisingly, worked well together. ...

Feb 27, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienWith our Instagram feed filling up with runway shots of Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Karlie Kloss, it’s almost hard to imagine a time when their faces weren’t plastered all over the internet. But all supermodels were newbies at one point, with a small social media following, a smaller portfolio and a dream of making it big. In an attempt to discover the newest Binx Walton or Cara Delevingne, we’ve searched for the most exciting new faces this Fashion Month. ... Read More | 
Feb 26, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienBefore the show began, Tod’s paid tribute to the artisans that hand-make their Italian leather pieces with an installation by performance artist Vanessa Beecroft. Karlie Kloss was lying on a wooden table as craftsmen sewed her into her cognac leather ensemble. Models surrounded her, draped in pieces of unfinished leather as if they were awaiting their turn on the table. ... Read More | 
Feb 25, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienIn a rare moment, the scientific and fashion community overlapped on the Fendi runway today when Karl Lagerfeld sent a collection of frills and ruffles down the catwalk. “They’re not ruffles, they’re waves,” the designer corrected backstage before the show, making reference to electric and gravitational waves that he translated into an entire show of rippled fabric. ...

Feb 25, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienAs a designer who’s known for her use of delicate fabrics like tulle, lace and silk, Alberta Ferretti took her feminine trope one step farther this season with a line of gowns and eveningwear inspired by the bedroom. Using the same aesthetics that make her line so popular with the red carpet crowd, she used pajamas, lingerie and undergarments to add a tasteful touch of romance to her Fall 2016 collection. ...

Feb 22, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienBeyoncé looks killer in a skin-baring, bedazzled mini dress, but not everyone can pull off such a theatrical design. Julien Macdonald, on the other hand, thinks the look was made for the masses. As is his forte, the designer sent skintight dresses, barely-there fabrics and a series of strategically cut out numbers down the Fall 2016 runway. ... Read More | 
Feb 22, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien“I love fashion! It should be fashion,” Jonathan Anderson declared backstage before the start of his J.W. Anderson Fall 2016 runway show. This season he captured that sentiment beautifully. He’s no stranger to quirky, sometimes awkward outfits, but this weekend he took them to a new level, trading in what little simplicity he had left for something that would capture the eye and evoke the imagination. ...

Feb 22, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienFur, embellishments and metallic fabrics might seem like an ultra-lush collection for most ready-to-wear lines, but for Gilles Mendel it’s par for the course. For the Fall 2016 J. Mendel line, he chose to simplify his usual aesthetic and designed the silhouettes to be chic, effortless and uncomplicated—though the same can’t be said for anything else in the collection. ...

Feb 20, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienMarc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen and Hedi Slimane are some of the biggest names on the Fashion Week calendar, but that wasn’t always the case. Before they made a name for themselves in the industry, they all had a series of horribly failed collections that could have made their entire career come to a screeching halt. Some were just starting off and understandably green, while others were transitioning from one label to the next and still hadn’t managed to find their footing. ... Read More | 
Feb 18, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienAt first glance, the Fall 2016 Delpozo runway seemed like just another beautifully imaginative rendition from creative director Josep Font. But this season the bright colors and floral detailing was inspired by the urban dystopia of Metropolis, the 1927 sci-fi film, and the dark digital illustrations of Daria Pertilli, an Italian artist whose surreal work focuses on women surrounded by nature. ...

Feb 17, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienCousins Shaikha Noor Al Khalifa and Shaikha Haya Al Khalifa are no strangers to loud prints, bold colors and modest cuts, which is why their Noon by Noor Fall 2016 collection came as such a surprise. Gone were the bright shades and quirky designs, and in their place were subdued tones, voluminous shapes and patterns in the form of embellishment and texture. ... Read More | 
Feb 17, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienFor years the Rag & Bone runway has been a NYFW favorite. Not only do designers David Neville and Marcus Wainwright know how to put on a show, but they know how to create a collection that people want. Nothing is too conceptual, everything is easy to wear and it’s just plain cool. This season for Fall 2016, they put on a joint men’s and womenswear show, with a live percussion performance from Mauro Refosco and Joey Waronker from Atoms for Peace. ... Read More |
