Flashback Fashion (Spring 2018 RTW)

So, thru out Spring 2018 RTW fashion month, we have seen many trends come down the runway to name a few: designer denim, mixed prints, sequin embellishments, fanny packs, and bright colors.

However, there is one trend that made me flashback to my childhood, from Disney characters and cartoons to My Little Pony (at Moschino).

Minnie Mouse first ever NYFW!

On the flip side, these childhood characters allow viewers to take the focus off of whats going on in this world right (from politics to natural disasters) now.

High end fashion designers collaborating with classic characters (like the one's listed below) has been going on for a few years now, but for Spring 2018 designers brought those characters to the runway.

Let me jog your memory:

- Kenzo x Disney (the Jungle Book) - check it out here

Now lets take a look!

NY Fashion Week: Spring 2018 - Part 1

So it's that time of year again NYFW! It's been interesting the past couple years for a few reasons:

- A lot of designers have been making their collection available straight off the runway

- It seems as if the street style is more prominent and focused on then the show itself (which if you remember Vogue was not happy about - here's a refresher)

- More and More Designers are having presentations instead of actual shows, partly for budget reasons

- The fashion industry has been having major designer shake ups (Balmain, Chloe) and buy outs (Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo, LVMH and Dior)

Although it's only Day 1 - designers seem to making a statement and figuring out a way for there shows to stand out and stay relevant.

Below is a round up of my TOP 5 shows from Day 1 (Sept 7th 2017).

1. Kith: Kith is a very street wear brand, with collaborations with companies like Vogue, to the most recent with Coca Cola. They had GOAT like LeBron James and Scottie Pippen walking in the show, with a very "hype" front row.


2. Calvin Klein: Calvin Klein kicked off fashion week with the idea of taking risks, which he sure did with Andy Warhol and rubber pieces (which to me looked like trash bags)


3. Tom Ford: Apparently the invitations to the show came in his new fragrance called, "Fucking Fabulous" which is the perfect tag line for his Spring 18 show. His collection is very ready to wear filled with pops of color in just the right way! 

The color fuchsia, the all denim outfits, bra's as tops, blazers, and embellishments which seem to be a common theme among all the shows.


4. Pamella Roland: This was one of my favorites from the day, the dresses are beyond stunning. According to Vogueruway.com her inspiration came from Monaco,  Grand Prix, and Grace Kelly- all which are absolutely GLAMOROUS just like her Spring 18 show. Although she only had 35 looks - each one that came out was better and better.



5. Rag & Bone: they decided to a presentation, " For some brands, innovation is best incubated off the runway. (vogue runway). Again we see the fuchsia trend, plaid, and denim on denim. They did not just have models but celebrities, dancer, and actors as well. Rag & Bone then agreed to donate to the charity of  each person in the shows choosing.



It is interesting to see how these top designers are addressing the changes going on in fashion and thinking of unique ways to stand out!
