NYFW F/W 15-16 (1)

The debut of a monthlong creative feast. This is what New York Fashion Week represents twice a year and this time the Big Apple has even witnessed a snowflake spectacle that added a magical note to this style fantasy. Elegance, sumptuousness and grandeur are the attributes that come closest to defining the designs presented at this on-going fashion week. The colour palettes have naturally been reinterpreted, yet the predominant shades remain the eternal black, the striking red, the sophisticated khaki and the intense dark blue. Here is a selection of some jaw-dropping Fall/Winter 2015-2016 collections that have dazzled the ones lucky enough to be attending the shows:

Jason Wu. The creations emanate both power and sensuality from every angle. What the designer must have had in mind is a strong woman with an atemporal style. Fur represents a motif in this collection, being present in a variety of forms, from scarves to vests and jackets.

Monique Lhuillier. Femininity revolves around everything that this Filipino-born designer touches. Needless to say, this collection was no different either. A geometrical element of embroidered evening gowns and structured coats stands out, as well as irresistible cut-outs and sheers. 

Prabal Gurung. The alluring mix of ethereal fabrics leaves an impression of imperturbable glamour and launches a journey to a land located far away. Neutral tones blend perfectly with the classic black and white, while splashes of red simply sweep us off our feet.

The celebrations move on the other side of the Atlantic from February 20th to London Town and we will mark this through a very special event, details of which were given in our first post. KCL Fashion Society is looking forward to meeting you there and to chatting with a drink in our hands!
