Top Spring 2017 Trends From New York Fashion Week

  Now that New York Fashion Week is over, we can examine the top Spring 2017 trends more in detail. I enjoyed most of the shows very much and wrote down every detail that catched my eye. I think Spring 2017 will be really edgy and fun. Vintage details merge with futuristic ones. There are some feminine trends alongside shabby looks. In short, the next spring season is truly sophisticated. Here are the top spring trends from New York Fashion Week...

PFW SPRING 2016 RTW: DAY 4

   The best show of the fourth day of Paris Fashion Week was definitely Balenciaga show, which was the last show of Alexander Wang with the house. With the silk ivory looks, Wang was slipping away from Balenciaga. The collection was very soft and relaxed but very innovative. Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keogh and Bella Heathcote were among the models despite their normal body size. Wang took a risk in his final presentation with Balenciaga and now it worked out so well that it will be hard for the new designer to outdo him.
  Raf Simons chose simplicity in Christian Dior Spring 2016 collection and he avoided too much embellishment. The collection was a little bit Victorian, so feminine and so soft. My favourites in Dior presentation were the oversize sweaters.
  Hussein Chalayan had been inspired by Cuba for his collection and it was a playful way to reflect Cuba. The show began with two models in white paper dresses standing there and doing nothing. After the military-inspired looks passed, there came the most beautiful part of the show, the print dresses. The last looks were Chalayan's essentials, the suits.
  Andrew Gn likes combining the opposites in his work. He did so again. In his Spring 2016 collection, you can find edgy and soft details, or Western and Eastern details in one look and he brought them together very beautifully.
  Check out my favourites from Day 4 of Paris Fashion Week Spring 2016 below.

NYFW SPRING 2016 RTW: DAY 6

  On the 6th day New York Fashion Week Spring 2016, we witnessed a diversity of expression. There were one and only Diane von Furstenberg, young and talented Alexander Wang and Joseph Altuzarra, boho queen Rachel Zoe, master of elegance Monique Lhuillier, style queen Victoria Beckham, colorful Tracy Reese and forward-looking Thakoon. All were very  creative and inspiring.

  Alexander Wang run along the runway after the presentation, then came the pole dancers and rappers. That's the spirit of Alexander Wang collection, himself and, in a way, New York. The collection appealed the New Yorkers inside us.

 The prints of Diane von Furstenberg and Monique Lhuillier were very feminine and summery. Vibrancy of the colors made us yearn for the next summer already. 

  Victoria Beckham surprises us each season coming with something completely new. "I'm a sponge" says she. Maybe this explains her always fresh looks and this sophisticated collection. She relieved herself from tiny coctail dresses, corsets and extra-high heels and now we have midi skirts, knitwear, loafers and so on.

  Another designer who presented a relieved collection was Thakoon Panichgul. He just gave the sense of freedom by using pajamas, silk, lace and sleek dresses in his collection.
