What is a trend? That was one of the questions we had for New York Fashion Week 2022. The solution? Rather than inventing or producing anything new, a shift in perspective of something that already exists. Classics were updated while remaining faithful to their identities. Chunky knits with strings, draping, pleats, and rhinestone fringes were seen on the runways. Tartan designs were prevalent on gowns and dresses. We saw two extremes in terms of color: bright bursts of color and traditional, understated tones like chocolate brown and sleek black. The following are the New York Fashion Week 2020 styles that left the largest effect on us.
COLOR
Khaki ruled last season, but that is no longer the case. This season, a rich chocolate brown has taken its position as the new neutral. Consider the hue of brownies with chocolate chips. This color is quite adaptable. Depending on your inclination, you may let a few splashes of color show through or go all out.
This isn’t surprising given that neutrals and black often dominate fall/winter collections. With their characteristic monochrome appeal, designers including Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera, Jason Wu, and Sally LaPointe dominated the show.
BRIDAL
Everything bridal is in this season. For whatever reason, the wedding industry is rising, maybe as the world’s largest countries finally recover from the devastating economic depression of recent years. Tom Ford, Brandon Maxwell, and Khaite were among the major designers who jumped on the bridal bandwagon during Fashion Week.
Many brides have been compelled to make fashion compromises. That will no longer be required, since current trends allow you to wear attractively during your wedding without breaking etiquette. Cutout, statement, long-sleeve, open-back wedding dresses, as well as stylish two-piece bandeaus, off-the-shoulder lace gowns, and cutout, statement, long-sleeve, open-back wedding dresses are all
TAILORING THAT IS EXQUISITE AND INNOVATIVE
There’s never been a better moment to be a busy lady who always looks her best. Designers like Michael Kors showcased innovative tailoring in a variety of approaches, from bold and powerful to exquisite and polished at Marina Moscone and The Row. This season, silhouettes are getting bigger. It all comes down to making a statement. Ruffles and shoulder pads are popular this season. The catwalk was dominated by outlandish fancy evening gowns and costumes. At Christopher John Rogers and Area, voluminous structured gowns emanated magnificent splendour.
VEILING AND TULLE
Thin tulle veiling, in line with the bridal motif, had its moment on the runways this week. This is also in line with tulle, another popular style. Carolina Herrera wore a white strapless gown with a lace face veil during the event, while Christopher John Rogers wore a rose gold gown with a rose gold veil for a charming pop of color. Tulle dresses, which are commonly connected with weddings and ballerina costumes, are among the most particularly feminine and appealing of garments. The enigmatic, translucent characteristics of this light, airy cloth have come to represent strength, sensitivity, and purity: the core of what it is to be a woman.
THE NEW ORANGE IS LEATHER
Designers such as Gabriela Hearst and Claudia Li showcased layered leather gowns for casual and semi-formal occasions. Leather has risen to prominence as a new wardrobe must.
ANY OTHER NAME FOR A ROSE…
The flowery designs we saw on the runways had a really artistic feel to them. Carolina Herrera created rose dresses with a black and white line design. The hemlines of several white and pastel gowns contained garden artwork. Tory Burch complemented her ensembles with delicate, attractive designs produced by outstanding artisans. This spring, florals, notably roses, will adorn dresses and gowns.
GLITTER AND GLAMOUR
Glamour, glitz, and sparkles abound in the form of gleaming sheers by Tom Ford, sparkling fringes by Area, and classic ’50s-style black palette dresses by genre master Brandon Maxwell. This trend is great for any woman searching for the perfect balance of comfort and style.
DIARIES OF VAMPIRES
If you’ve always wanted to leave a trail of billowing cloth as you go past, now is your chance. Designers such as Jason Wu, Carolina Herrera, and Brandon Maxwell showcased dramatic cape dresses.
CUTOUTS
Prabal Gurung, Dion Lee, and other designers used traces of flesh to convey an overall sense of lightness, indicating that seasonal clothing had finally come to an end. Almost every runway included cuts. This season, the hips are the center of attention. These unrestrictive, freeing pieces will evolve with you. With barely there lingerie or a transparent thong, you may go sultry with this style.
DOWNTOWN GIRL WITH UPTOWN ATTITUDE
R13 and Jonathan Cohen merged downtown style with uptown sophistication. Florals and plaids were updated with punk chic by the designers.
RIBBONS AND PUFFS
Victorian frills, ribbon neck ties, puff sleeves, and ruffle trimmings are all back in style. Zimmermann, Anna Sui, and Brock Collection all have these accents on their sad romantic gowns.
NEW YORK FASHION WEEK 2022 FINAL THOUGHTS
Marc Jacobs wrapped up New York Design Week with an enthralling, surreal presentation that featured over a hundred dancers and models in a display of magnificent chaos that delivered on incredible fashion. Apart from those listed, Rodarte and Khaite had important collections. Big brands such as Pyer Moss, Tommy Ralph Lauren, and Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty were noticeably absent. Overall, New York Fashion Week 2022 was basic and commercial. The complex conceptions of beauty and femininity in Christopher John Rogers and Area’s collections were the exception rather than the rule.
The most intriguing trends, in our perspective, were complex tailoring, inventiveness, color, and leather. They weren’t entirely unexpected, to be sure. Victorian frills, sophisticated evening clothes, downtown chic, and sensual cutouts are exempt from this rule. Overall, we can conclude that New York Fashion Week 2022 has something for everyone.
