London Fashion Week. Just a jump across the pond, right? Well I can say for those who made the trek, boy was it worth it. Christopher Kane was a collection consisting of his wonderful mix of crazy colors. He said he was inspired by a car crash and the collection was a mad dash of color and shapes that worked effortlessly together. Erdem is every girls dream. A dream of pussy cat bows and delicate laces were seen throughout the collection. J.W. Anderson completely blew me away. The electrifying colors with the voluminous shapes were breathtaking and a breath of fresh air. But I will say my favorite collection would have to be the divine Simone Rocha. Everything about the collection screamed elegance but in a new and exhilarating way. With the criss-cross harnesses and the frothy skirts and dresses, my mind was left racing. My heart too.

I will start this post off with my highlights of NYFW. Oscar de la Renta was pure grace and polished beauty. Peter Copping has taken on so much and he has kept with Mr. de la Renta’s aesthetic but also he has made it his own with his beautiful designs. Proenza Schouler was everything I would have wanted and more. The classic color palette and the intricate detailing on the clothes was so wonderful. Also the shoes were something else! Prabal Gurung, one of the first designers I started following religiously, made me believe in him even more with this recent collection. The inspiration came from his hometown of Nepal and the clothes symbolized his love of his country. His luxe details and sensual silhouettes were his signature. Finally Marc Jacobs. I was left speechless. It was a thrilling show and the clothes just kept getting better and better as each model sauntered down the runway. Every look was so different yet they worked so well together. It was a chic circus but with a good-ole American look to the collection as well.

In the second installment of my fashion month coverage, I decided I would do a separate little post just for designers you may not know quite yet. With these specific looks I have chosen, I hope this sparks your interest in checking them out. One of my favorite designers in recent years that I have discovered is Rosie Assoulin. Her take on new shapes and electrifying colors leaves me wanting more, more, more! Her formal wear is breathtaking and her day wear as well is just as exciting and something I covet immediately. I have my favorite blogger on the planet, Leandra Medine of Man Repeller to thank graciously for helping me find my eternal love. (P.S. the pants she makes are out of this world amazing)

Ahhh New York Fashion Week has come and gone but I am still relishing in the fabulous clothes sent out this season. Now we are onto London and I am loving what I have been seeing so far. But back to NY, this spring 2016 season was something else! With all the exciting new clothes and wonderful locations of the shows, I barely focused on any school work. This required my full attention! And boy did it get my attention!

Adam Selman, man oh man, I am starting to fall for his clothes harder than ever before. The white pants with the fowy top is what I want to LIVE in, forever!

Alexander Wang showcased what he does best: his super sensual and super cool clothes. He makes it look so easy to look so sexy yet kind of rocker-ish. He celebrated his tenth anniversary and this show was quite a celebration.

Altuzarra. I have no words, the way Joseph Altuzarra oozes sex appeal with great femininity amazes me. The slits are his signature and they were better than ever this season. (Check out his take on the espadrille, I am already coveting them)

How can one not love the Project Runway alum Christian Siriano? His personality is addicting just like his clothes. He always keeps me entertained and is becoming an even better designer as time passes on.

Derek Lam was quite polished yet free in one way to describe it. He always is so far ahead in thinking and it gives me excitement to see his shows whenever possible. (the cut-out shoulder made it big this season)

Givenchy brought me to tears; not just for the exquisite clothing but also for his meaningful reasoning on why he held the show in New York instead of Paris this season. Riccardo Tisci held the show on 9/11 and made his guests wait a longer amount of time than usual to take in the wonderful skyline of New York from Pier 26.  His great respect for the city and the people apart of it moved me to tears. But the clothes as well, made me heart race and the decadent materials were just a dream to take in.

Diane Von Furstenberg just keeps getting better. Every season leaves me wanting more and every aspect of the show from the hair down to the shoes is always on point. The brand is so classic and an integral part of American fashion but it has modernized extremely well and has retained its greatness.
