Watch: The Highlights of New York Fashion Week Fall 2025
IMAGE | FERNANDA CALFAT/GETTY IMAGES

That’s a wrap on the Fall 2025 season of New York Fashion Week. Running from February 6 until February 11, the schedule put out by the Council of Fashion Designers of America proved to be a far more streamlined affair in comparison to seasons past.

At the start of the 6-day event, it was Brandon Maxwell who kick-started this season into high gear (and high style). To commemorate a whole decade in the business, Maxwell dressed his army of models in everyday staples from silk slips and shirting to leather sheaths and plaid skirts. To close out NYFW, Thom Browne dialed up the drama (and then some), with model Alek Wek closing out Browne’s spectacular showcase in a voluminous plaid ball gown.

From the debut collection of Veronica Leoni as Calvin Klein creative director to Wes Gordon proving himself (once again) as the creative force behind Carolina Herrera (and everything else in between) – scroll further for theFashionSpot’s highlights of New York Fashion Week Fall 2025:

That’s a wrap on New York Fashion Week’s Fall 2024 season, with the 6-day event coming to an almighty close with Thom Browne’s return to the schedule following a brief hiatus.

Subsequent to the surprise doll-inspired showcase from Marc Jacobs prior to NYFW officially kicking off, the fashion pack looked toward Christian Siriano to kick-start the festivities. Held at the iconic Plaza hotel, Siriano welcomed us into his fantasy world and dialed up the glamour with a collection inspired by sci-fi movies. Peter Do was soon serving his sophomore Helmut Lang collection, unearthing and reimagining Lang’s Spring 2003 collection. Tommy Hilfiger is back – and wants us to dress to impress. The American designer’s first show in two years took place in the Grand Central Oyster Bar, located beneath the iconic New York train station. Models roamed the restaurant sporting Hilfiger’s tried and true classics, to a live performance from Jon Batiste.

Prabal Gurung created a sense of comfort through draped silhouettes and cozy fabrics while creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez presented a collection for real-life women, with an array of pieces which transcend traditional season dressing – a minimalist dream of statement outwear. Catherine Holstein looked to craft a new wardrobe for the ultimate New York woman and elevated the viral mob wife trend to the max. The no-pants trend reigned supreme at Joseph Altuzarra’s 15th anniversary showcase celebration. Anna Sui looked to Agatha Christie for inspo this season, fittingly presented at The Strand bookshop. For his first collection stateside, Ludovic de Saint Sernin collaborated with The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation and paid homage to the late photographer’s chronicles of the 1970s BDSM scene.

Wes Gordon’s latest Carolina Herrera unveiling was inspired by the designer herself, resulting in monochromatic looks, glamorous gowns and floral motifs scattered throughout. There was no better way for Tory Burch to mark the 20th anniversary of her eponymous label, other than tinsel evening gowns, sheer ruffles and bursts of color. Michael Kors, for Fall 2024, juxtaposed the languid lingerie dressing of the 30s with the streamlined luxury of the 90s. In true Thom Browne fashion, the designer closed NYFW with a theatrical show, with models embodying different characters as if fallen from a storybook.

Needless to say, New York Fashion Week has been one for the books. Scroll further for the hits and misses of the season, according to theFashionSpot’s unfiltered forum members:

HIT | Michael Kors Collection

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“I love the intimacy in showing in that space and I loved the bags!” [Lola701]

“MK really understands his customer. All of these pieces perfectly edited and constructed.” [Nimsay]

“Always get this instant sense of pure satisfaction whenever I witness a watch a Michael Kors show during NYFW. There’s always something so reassuring about his strong sense of self, this customer, his designs and there is always a very strong sense of wearabilty. This, for me, was a truly immaculate and streamlined collection.” [vogue28]

See all the looks from the Michael Kors Collection Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | LaQuan Smith

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“Dated and amateurish.” [GoldenPetals]

“It’s like a street hooker trying to be classy…” [jeanclaude]

“I saw some promise at the start but unfortunately the mixed bag of some good pieces with some horrible ones threw off the whole thing, He needs to get a quality control team as well as someone to help source fabrics.” [Urban Stylin]

See all the looks from the LaQuan Smith Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Carolina Herrera

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“There’s ALWAYS time for the classics. This is so beautifully made. I love how AMERICAN it is.” [GoldenPetals]

“Very classic and to the point, perfectly made too.” [Cocteau Stone]

“Delightful, a total breath of fresh air from everything else we’re currently seeing during New York Fashion Week. This collection was just flawless from start to finish. There’s flow, there’s coherence, there’s elegance and refinement… the list goes on!” [vogue28]

See all the looks from the Carolina Herrera Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Tory Burch

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“Those white tights…” [jeanclaude]

“At least it was a short presentation. These clothes are awful. That gulf blue leather skirt is criminal. That white clover print dress that changes to polka dot along with that white fringe coat is also criminal.” [Nimsay]

“I’m really confused by this direction for Tory Burch and the Burch woman. There are some decent jackets and coats in here, and some interesting co-or sets but I still don’t get ‘Tory Burch’ from this.” [Cocteau Stone]

See all the looks from the Tory Burch Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Ludovic de Saint Sernin

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“It’s all just so… obvious. Nothing seductive about it honestly.” [TianCouture]

“Ludovic de Saint Sernin is so surface level and conceited it’s almost too funny. He needs to up the ante when it comes to their pattern cutting and designs. It’s been the exact same for a long time now. The same thing rehashed over and over again, and has gotten worse and more simplified over the years too.” [Cocteau Stone]

“Ludovic De Ain’t Serving.” [chinsumo]

See all the looks from the Ludovic de Saint Sernin Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Altuzarra

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“A very cohesive, modern and elegant collection. His inspiration from the Harlequin world is very subtle but also interesting to recognize and somewhat fun.” [WAVES]

“When he’s good, he’s GOOD. There’s something quintessentially New York about this. It reminds me of 80s/early 90s Clavin Klein.” [GoldenPetals]

“I thought I was watching The Row for a minute. Lovely, gentle show. I can see a lot of Perry Ellis in there. Also Alaïa’s Spring 2024 show casts a long shadow, especially in the extravagant use of buttons and pillbox hats but I rather enjoyed this.” [Dellone]

See all the looks from the Altuzarra Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Coach

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“What a wasted opportunity, the toilet paper skirts are godawful. [disco54]

“Horrendous.” [Alejandra Isami]

“Stuart Vevers is just lazy now! Maybe he wanted the GAP job? It’s quite a mess.” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Coach Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Jason Wu Collection

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“It’s a superb collection, especially when compared to the rest of NYFW so far. Jason has set himself apart by continuing to focus on fabric development and the construction of the actual garments, instead of chasing after what’s considered cool. [THD96]

“The white dress on Vivienne Rohner is definitely the highlight of the week!” [helmutnotdead]

“It’s very beautiful, very well made, exquisite cut.” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Jason Wu Collection Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Khaite

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“Khaite is always a NYFW favorite for me, Cate Holstein never disappoints. The strong sleeved cropped leather jacket in the first look is a dream, I want it so badly. Actually all the jackets were exquisite. It’s always such a joy to see these collections for someone with a minimalist heart.” [philophile]

“It’s minimalism, but it’s very moody, dramatic and romantic. It’s rare to find that in minimalism in today’s fashion landscape.” [LadyJunon]

“There’s a clear inspiration from Cristóbal Balenciaga but it’s a beautiful, modern and almost subversive homage. The set and mood was perfect.” [WAVES]

See all the looks from the Khaite Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Ulla Johnson

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“Shes probably the best at NYFW. these clothes are unmistakably Ulla.” [Nimsay]

“Some lovely dresses and prints; a lot of this feels so elegant and wearable.” [Not Plain Jane]

“I always look forward to her collections, very effortless and unpretentious.” [Urban Stylin]

See all the looks from the Ulla Johnson Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Anna Sui

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“Not even fashion. A collection of random clothes.” [Nimsay]

“I always see the odd few pieces and looks I like in Anna Sui collections, but never do I think I want or like it all. The styling is always too busy.” [Not Plain Jane]

“I think that customer base is ageing, and hence her business has somewhat faltered in recent years.” [Kennnnn]

See all the looks from the Anna Sui Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Proenza Schouler

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“They’ve moved onto copying Yohji Yamamoto to Helmut Lang now.” [LadyJunon]

“The bleakness of ripping off someone… be it Phoebe Philo or be it Helmut Lang now. Tragic.” [90sFan]

“This collection is pure nonsense. Their lack of identity is criminal.” [Nimsay]

See all the looks from the Proenza Schouler Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Eckhaus Latta

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“Some of that, no wait, all of that knitwear is so ugly.” [youthinasia]

“Not very strong, but it’s fine although didn’t require a runway presentation. A lookbook would have been fine enough. Really bland colors and the cuts are pretty mundane.” [Cocteau Stone]

“I remember Eckhaus Latta were all the rage about 6 years ago, inside the more ‘less mainstream’ and more hypebeast-y crowd. No idea who is this brand for these days.” [dontbeadrag]

See all the looks from the Eckhaus Latta Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Tommy Hilfiger

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“I like this, very private American university chic.” [disco54]

“It’s wearable… with a lot of preppy campus classics.” [Not Plain Jane]

“It’s a good collection! Stylish, fresh, wearable and timeless. Maybe it’s time for Americans to have actually more respect for Tommy Hilfiger, who can design a coat with a shape, a decent shoulder, pants that falls perfectly and flatter the body…” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Prabal Gurung

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“He does not understand volumes. It feels like someone with very bad voice trying to sing opera…” [jeanclaude]

“Why does nothing fit properly? Whose body are these clothes flattering? Are the last dresses poor versions of Olivier Theyskens?” [tourbillions]

“Prabal Gurung wouldn’t know good taste even if it smacked him across the head.” [lookatme]

See all the looks from the Prabal Gurung Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Christian Siriano

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“New York fashion week does NOT need this person.” [GoldenPetals]

“His pattern making always confuses me. I understand that certain designs and shapes need a waste seam. That’s a no-brainer, but the way he goes about it just always pisses me off. So visually obtrusive.” [Cocteau Stone]

“He has been in the business for so long, but the cut and construction of his clothes is still very poor. He should have bought the archive from Zac Posen and copied the patterns.” [JohannesL]

See all the looks from the Christian Siriano Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Helmut Lang

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“This didn’t need a show.” [tourbillions]

“The essence of Helmut Lang : BEING EFFORTLESS. The essence of Peter Do : TRYING HARD. It ain’t a match darling. Divorce will happen soon.” [IloveDiorHomme]

“I just hope the real Helmut Lang never sees any of this, what an insult to his work.” [liberty33r1b]

See all the looks from the Helmut Lang Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Luar

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“What an odd collection. This stuff is really well made but is absolutely dreadful. Those exploded coogie sweaters with a watch necklace is so 2008. The embossed ostrich skirt is interesting but shouldve been done in a wool. More dated looks; showing the thighs. Lots of pleather looking material. Overall its not great.” [Nimsay]

It’s awkward. and out of touch. the bad proportions and the fluffy boots mixed with the lace throws the whole thing off.” [TerraVera]

“Absolutely not. I don’t care how well-constructed this is, it’s contrived. The silhouettes and volumes are DERANGED.” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Luar Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Gabriela Hearst

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“Ugly shapes and cheap looking fabric. It’s easy as hell to be a fashion designer nowadays!” [Alquimista]

“This collection lacks substance, even for Gabriela’s standards. The last two looks are completely out of place.” [perhydrol]

“A lot of very out-of-date ideas here. That knit dress with the holes is giving Amazon.” [Nimsay]

See all the looks from the Gabriela Hearst Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Thom Browne

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“I love all the hidden animal prints and ‘juvenile’ prints behind his super seriously styled looks.” [tourbillions]

“He can be so heavily referential and still so unique and fantastic! I absolutely love this side of fashion and I appreciate him so much for this! Everything is perfectly constructed, cut, layered – so good. I’ll say it again: this is the man who should be Chanel’s creative designer.” [WAVES]

“I always enjoy Thom Browne collections and this is no exception. It all feels cluttered and avant garde but when you look carefully you see a story.” [Urban Stylin]

See all the looks from the Thom Browne Fall 2024 collection.

All the Hits & Misses of New York Fashion Week Spring 2024

One fashion capital down. Three to go. That’s a wrap on New York Fashion Week, and we’re only just coming up for air after digesting what the designers who show their wares within The Big Apple have delivered us for the Spring 2024 season.
It was Stuart Vevers who kick-started the festivities, commemorating his first decade as Coach creative director and reflected back on his early days in New York for inspiration for his collection. Peter Do was soon making his highly-anticipated debut as creative director of Helmut Lang, followed by Ralph Lauren’s grand return to the NYFW schedule which had us stepping into a world of romance and artistry and full of signature Ralph Lauren aesthetics – from wild western Americana to dazzling evening wear. At Proenza Schouler, a new monogram was introduced ever-so-subtly on embossed belt bags and sweaters during a show which oozed minimalism. Catherine Holstein created a collection that was sharp and ferocious at Khaite, with oversized blazers, cinched-waist dressed and color-block accessories. Dion Lee took us to work (on a construction site) for his Spring 2024 collection, with garments sporting utility details, tool-belt pockets and heavy-duty boots. Ulla Johnson presented a vibrant collection featuring painterly printed by artist Shara Hughes while apocalyptic chic was on the agenda at Jason Wu. We got florals galore at Michael Kors, set against the picturesque backdrop of NYC’s East River as models like Vittoria Ceretti and Natasha Poly helped showcase Kors’ 60s-inspired collection grounded in white and tan with gold and blush accents. Form-fitting fabrics, naked dresses and high-shine ruled the LaQuan Smith runway while Tory Burch took us to infinity and beyond, with shimmering metallics and space-age silhouettes.
Need we go on?
Therefore, without further adieu, here are theFashionSpot’s hits and misses of New York Fashion Week Spring 2024, all in accordance with our unfiltered forum members.

HIT | Ralph Lauren

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“A very confident and current show from Mr. Lauren. I am here for this!” [reese06]
“Great collection indeed. He is a league of his own. I love the denim work. This seems to be more fashion, edgy than usual which is always a welcome.” [TaylorBinque]
“My highlight of NYFW, without a shadow of a doubt. I was beyond excited for Ralph Lauren to return to the schedule, and Lord knows the calendar needs him. What a truly gorgeous collection, the most perfect blend of signature RL signatures but with an updated touch. I’m in awe… loved it!” [vogue28]
See all the looks from the Ralph Lauren Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Altuzarra

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“Prada/MiuMiu and Simone Rocha had a child…” [Lola701]
“When he used to copy Tom Ford I had high hopes that he would develop a signature along that aesthetic. But all he ended up developing were his copying skills. Yikes. This is so derivative.” [GoldenPetals]
“I guess Raf Simons’ take on Prada is inspiring the kids!” [fenty]
See all the looks from the Altuzarra Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Prabal Gurung

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“Pretty damn good. Fine dressmaking elevates even the most challenging looks. That gold plissé one-shoulder number with the coffee crystalline skirt is a vision.” [Nimsay]
“Love a lot the fabric choices in all of this. They’re rich, textural, play with taste in an interesting way and still look luxe.” [Cocteau Stone]
“I absolutely love the textural diversity here and his SA roots are clearly being celebrated.” [LANZO_358]
See all the looks from the Prabal Gurung Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Collina Strada

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“Available soon in the dumpsters near you.” [avonlea002]
“I feel like this brand is here to troll the industry.” [Urban Stylin]
“Barely stitched together nothing clothes. Ghastly silhouettes.” [Nimsay]
See all the looks from the Collina Strada Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Jason Wu Collection

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“Look 9 is begging me to be part of my wardrobe! So chic! This is so far the best collection of NYFW. It’s very easy to wear while having the right touch of risks that his client would want.” [Lola701]
“Actually a very precise, great collection from him. I think at the beginning he grew too fast. Seems like stepping back has done good to him creatively. I like the styling as well, which really elevate the clothes.” [TaylorBinque]
“One of the best collections to come from NYFW, without a shadow of a doubt. Always been a fan of Jason Wu in all honesty, and think this collection is rather beautiful from start to finish. I just love love LOVE the flow and cohesion of the collection. Very much a fan of this!” [vogue28]
See all the looks from the Jason Wu Collection Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | LaQuan Smith

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“Such a waste of leather. Nothing really fits right, even if he is going for the p*rno-chic kind of look.” [Cocteau Stone]
“Had the fit and construction been on point, this collection would’ve been an actual genuine slay. *gag*” [Lady Junon]
“Listen, nobody loves a flash and gloss more than me, but if you’re gonna go for the Versace crown you better bring some damn good ideas or you’re gonna be TOO all-style-no-substance.” [GoldenPetals]
See all the looks from the LaQuan Smith Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Tory Burch

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“This is surprisingly good. Doesn’t feel like Tory, which is what’s confusing about it, even though it feels a little derivative. But still, actually some pieces I’d covet.” [Joromana]
“Love it, I can see myself wearing a lot from this.” [liberty33r1b]
“I do love that semi-sheer black coat with a flower pattern on it, the construction of the collar is a neat touch.” [YohjiAddict]
See all the looks from the Tory Burch Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Dion Lee

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“There was no need for an Alexander Wang 2.0.” [yslforever]
“His mind is totally in the gym. The more buffed he is, the more uninteresting his collections are.” [jeanclaude]
“Dion Lee thinks he ate. This 2017 Mugler/Balmain stuff is really tired and dated. A touch of Versace too.” [Nimsay]
See all the looks from the Dion Lee Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | 3.1 Phillip Lim

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“It’s very New York. Practical and pleasant.” [GoldenPetals]
“Such a fabulous show. Color, movement, texture. A little something for everyone but not so much so it feels unfocused. The Lim-isms with his use of military/parka cottons, I love it!” [TianCouture]
“I quite enjoy this. Love the last few looks. He always make khaki work.” [TaylorBinque]
See all the looks from the 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Proenza Schouler

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“It’s a snoozefest. There is nothing special about this.” [Bugsy]
“This is pure nonsense. This brand is pure nonsense. No identity at all. Anonymous clothes nobody remembers that could have been designed by anybody. 20 years of blending in the background of fashion.” [Lola701]
“Would it KILL New York designers to try something unique? There’s great potential in this kind of minimalism, but their seeming TERROR at trying anything new is precisely why I’ve always thought this brand was little more than hype.” [GoldenPetals]
See all the looks from the Proenza Schouler Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Christian Siriano

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“Burn it all.” [WAVES]
“Everything looks so cheap and unflattering.” [thatsfierce]
“Cheap with really sloppy cuts. Horrible. He survives on personality and should not be offering any advice on Project Runway.” [Bugsy]
See all the looks from the Christian Siriano Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Brandon Maxwell

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“Strangely, I kind of like this collection.” [LadyJunon]
“Another firm highlight of NYFW for me. I thought the belt detailing was fabulous, love the silhouette of just about every single look and the sheer fabrics. To me, this feels far more elevated than what else has been on display this week. The opening dress is stunning!” [vogue28]
“It’s certainly beautiful and looks well made.” [GoldenPetals]
See all the looks from the Brandon Maxwell Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Tibi

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“In a different setting, mood and tone, this could have really worked.” [TaylorBinque]
“The runway location isn’t appealing, makes everything look so minute in presence and also so washed out.” [Cocteau Stone]
“With collections as bland as this I might as well just look at my window and watch the weeds slowly grow in my garden.” [YohjiAddict]
See all the looks from the Tibi Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Khaite

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“This is stunning actually. And YES there is something very Alber Elbaz/Lanvin about it. It’s that cinematic starkness. The fabrics really are the star of the show. Best thing in NYFW! [GoldenPetals]
“Finally a NYFW designer who isn’t afraid to work with and spend on luxe fabric.” [Fulton St Critique]
“I didn’t know Catherine Holstein have it in them to show like this. Quite enjoying it actually. A departure from typical NY shows. The clothes themselves are very Lanvin by Alber. I don’t think it’s a bad thing perse. Definitely love the luxe fabric selection.” [TaylorBinque]
See all the looks from the Khaite Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Rodarte

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“Glorified mall clothes. What on earth happened to this label?” [GoldenPetals]
“Sorry girls, but the vacancy for Giambattista Valli is already taken…” [jeanclaude]
“Just because they show this crap during fashion week, does not make it fashion.” [90sFan]
See all the looks from the Rodarte Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Coach

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“This is such an underwhelming collection to celebrate your tenth anniversary at the brand. Everything looks so ill-fitting. I know it’s Coach but still, elevate it.” [THD96]
“Some looks have left me completely traumatized.” [Ruito]
“A giant bore, once upon a time Stuart Vevers actually made some effort to bring some much needed luxury to this tacky brand but by now it’s clear that he’s just happy to wallow in the blandness and dumpiness of this household of the outlet world.” [YohjiAddict]
See all the looks from the Coach Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Ulla Johnson

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“Her collections are always so enjoyable to look at.” [LadyJunon]
“I always enjoy Ulla Johnson’s collections. Very chic, feminine and non-fussy, shes like the second coming of Diane von Furstenberg.” [Urban Stylin]
“Such a cute collection, in a really good way! The fabrics are insanely lush, the silhouettes are also pretty gorgeous and seem very comfortable. I still believe this is how Chloé should look like.” [perhydrol]
See all the looks from the Ulla Johnson Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Anna Sui

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“Just no. No.” [sanssoleil]
“Yet another messy and redundant Sui collection. Amazed she’s still in the game, who wears her?” [zoom]
“Never been a fan. I feel like she never really evolved into anything more than ‘playful’ and ‘whimsy’ dresses. Developing a signature aesthetic takes more than repetition.” [GoldenPetals]
See all the looks from the Anna Sui Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Carolina Herrera

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“My favorite New York collection!” [liberty33r1b]
“It’s all just so classy, ladylike and glamorous that I cannot help but to instantly drawn to Wes Gordon’s Carolina Herrera collections each and every season. Very much a fan!” [vogue28]
“I can’t bring myself to dislike this because it’s just so professionally made and beautiful.” [GoldenPetals]
See all the looks from the Carolina Herrera Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Gabriela Hearst

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“The construction of these garments are screaming for help.” [dancv]
“A strange feat being able to make something look not only so slouchy, but incredibly stiff and boxy at the same time. Props to yah Gabriela.” [Cocteau Stone]
“Thanks God she’s no longer at Chloé.” [Koibito]
See all the looks from the Gabriela Hearst Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Michael Kors Collection

IMAGE: IMAXTREE

“Oh it will sell like hot cakes.” [GivenchyAddict]
“Michael Kors is like clockwork. Another perfectly tailored collection with perfect fabric choices and perfect colors. Not a single stitch out of place. This sort of megalithic hyper-refinement. MK may be the greatest to do it since Ralph Lauren.” [Nimsay]
“Michael Kors is just so much of a NYFW staple that I am automatically programmed to adore each and every collection of his. This season is certainly no different, as it’s just all so easy on the eye, 100% wearable and executed to perfection. The colour palette, as always, is fabulous.” [vogue28]
See all the looks from the Michael Kors Collection Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Helmut Lang

“It doesn’t look good at all. The yellow and magenta are fighting for dominance and the cuts looked so matronly and sexless. No sophistication or sensuality at all.” [LadyJunon]
“RIP Helmut Lang. Will be seeing this on the discount rack in no time. What a disappointment.” [RMDV]

New York Fashion Week Fall 2022 is officially over. Heavyweight designers Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs opted out. But the week remained a buzzworthy affair.

Proenza Schouler kicked off proceedings celebrating 20 years in the business with a collection of strong tailoring and covetable carryalls. Ballooning bows and tiered ruffles were a thing at Jason Wu Collection, while at Victor Glemaud an all-black cast was decked out in formfitting creations in a mostly monochromatic palette. Ulla Johnson did what she does best. And Altuzarra took us on a journey through fisherman knits and mermaid dresses.

Meanwhile, Eckhaus Latta marked a decade of delivering genderless and avant-garde fashion. Christian Siriano blended Victorian-era elements with modernity and flaunted the looks on models of all different body types. The hottest ticket in town was LaQuan Smith with Julia Fox opening the show in a sexy cut-out gown almost breaking the internet in the process. Christian Cowan put on an energetic show overlooking New York City’s majestic skyline. Wes Gordon opened his Carolina Herrera show with a white blouse just like the ones routinely favored by the brand’s creator. Plenty of superstars represented Michael Kors Collection (which featured an equally A-list front row) giving us big city glamour.

New York Fashion Week Spring 2022New York Fashion Week Spring 2022 is now a wrap. After a few seasons of being mostly virtual, it was certainly nice to see all the in-person shows. Not to mention witnessing fashion coming down the runways. Collina Strada kicked things off with an eco-conscious collection. Christian Siriano marked his 40th collection with a show of epic proportions. Speaking of 40, Carolina Herrera celebrated four decades with Wes Gordon giving us clothes worth celebrating. Not even a rain shower was enough to stop Gigi Hadid from storming the Moschino runway. At the top of the Empire State Building, LaQuan Smith welcomed guests who were all fortunate enough to shop the collection live. Prabal Gurung’s offering celebrated women and their beauty. While Gabriela Hearst paid homage to art collector Hester Diamond with an array of absolutely vibrant knits. Michael Kors served up American classics, of course. Then Tom Ford closed out the week with a high-octane presentation. Here are all the hits and misses of New York Fashion Week Spring 2022. Well at least according to our unfiltered forum members.

Despite ongoing challenges during the pandemic, you have to admire the designers who participated in New York Fashion Week Fall 2021. While the majority produced lookbooks, designers like Jason Wu and Ulla Johnson opted for conventional runway shows (minus audiences). Heavyweights Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren were left off the calendar completely.

Wu kicked things off with a supermarket filled with groceries and flowers. His models showcased fresh midi skirts, fringed coats and knee-high boots. Former Yeezy designer Maisie Wilen had models walking on water sporting an array of neon looks. The Row once again supplied luxury staples. Minimalist brand Co’s Vogue-worthy lookbook featured supermodel Kirsty Hume, while Johnson displayed a superbly constructed collection boasting rich prints.

Click through the slideshow to see all the hits and misses of New York Fashion Week Fall 2021. At least according to our no-holds-barred forum members.

New York Fashion Week Spring 2021 has wrapped and what a season it was. We definitely didn’t know what to expect given the absence of Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs and more. (Clearly all thanks to the ongoing health crisis.) The remaining designers showed off their Spring 2021 offerings in varying ways. Some embraced the traditional runway format. Whereas others opted for videos or lookbooks. First, Jason Wu kicked things off with a rooftop presentation starring an all-star cast. We’re talking Indya Moore, Grace Elizabeth along with Hanne Gaby Odiele. Then all eyes were on Omar Salam’s beautifully executed Sukeina collection. We’re starting to wonder who actually buys Anna Sui anymore. And Tom Ford finished things off with a collection full of bold colors and prints. Click through the slideshow above to see all the hits and misses of New York Fashion Week Spring 2021 according to our unfiltered forum members.

As quickly as it started, New York Fashion Week is officially over. And over the past few days, designers pulled out all the stops for the Spring 2020 season.

Looking for a quick breakdown? Tom Ford held his show in an abandoned subway station on Bowery Street, Jason Wu returned to the scene, Tory Burch played to her strengths, Wes Gordon proved his worth (once again) at Carolina Herrera, Longchamp needs to stop trying to be Louis Vuitton and Tomo Koizumi cemented his one-trick pony status. Per usual, Marc Jacobs closed out fashion week with a bang by storming the Park Avenue Armory, thrilling onlookers with his vibrant and eclectic collection.

Now that the “week” has finally wrapped, our forum members have something to say. Check out which collections were a hit and which ones missed the mark.

As quickly as it began, New York Fashion Week is now officially over. Everyone from Tom Ford to Brock Collection has shown us what we’ll be wearing next fall/winter (or more likely what Zara will next have featured in their store’s front window in a few short months). Whether you sat front row or watched the action via live stream, NYFW’s been a blast, despite the dismal February weather. In case you missed a few key shows, we’ve got the lowdown on the real show notes, straight from our forum members. Here’s what you need to know: The Tom Ford silhouette is more simplified this season, Ralph Lauren‘s still the true master of all-American fashion and Tomo Koizumi should now be truly on your radar (all thanks to Katie Grand). Sophie Delafontaine needs to quit stealing Nicholas Ghesquière’s aesthetic over at Longchamp, Carolina Herrera should immediately start scouting a new creative director and the Helmut Lang label needs to be put out of its on-going misery. Ulla Johnson should stick to what she’s doing with those fabulous prints and a very big thank you goes to Michael Kors for uplifting everyone’s spirits with the legendary Barry Manilow’s live rendition of his 1978 hit ‘Copacabana’ (something we never ever thought we wanted). Oh, and did we mention 90s supermodel Christy Turlignton made a return to the runway for Marc Jacobs? Take a look for yourself at all the hits and misses of the Fall 2019 season at New York Fashion Week, according to theFashionSpot’s unfiltered and unbiased forum members, who deliberated over each and every show. We’re heading to London next … so stay tuned!
