NYFW Roundup: Day 1

     It’s surreal that another season has come and New York Fashion Week is back. First thing, Nicholas K wow’d the crowd with an exhilarating show as usual. His earthy tones and “hunter-gatherer” perception created silence. 

     However, here at SMDA, we were in awe during BCBGMAXAZRIA! BCBG has become one of the largest and most popular name brands found in department stores such as Macy’s, and offers stylish clothing at everyday prices. For now, we’re dealing with some high fashion and the bar has been raised. The line was different, it was hip—and it gave “Annie” a whole new meaning. It looked like the orphans earned Masters Degrees in high fashion and took it to the nearest “Little Miss Matched.” We had never seen a runway show like this one; you wanted to hate it but you knew you couldn’t! It was chic, there was color, and there were layers!! Who else could rock layers for a Spring/Summer collection!? At one point there was a knit, scarlet tank dress over a faded pink gown that had a green long sleeve sweater under it. Stripes, layered florals, and leg warmers accompanied cohesive, chunky, booty wedges. To wrap it up the models wore coordinating, patch-work, bucket hats that we couldn’t believe would make it in the high-fashion world. But they did!! Any of these outfits could be seen in the Colorado desert, or a California beach club. Our inner hipsters, here at SMDA, definitely came out of their shells as we watched. Below, find some of our favorite looks from the runway!

     Overall it was a successful start to Day 1— the crowds were there, reviewers were glued to their phones, and rumor has it Miley Cyrus was sitting front row??? We’re all so excited to see what the rest of Day 1 has to offer (Tadashi Shoji is a must see!); so keep watching, come back for more… and start looking for a higher paying job!!

Always,

Katie
