NYFW My 5 favorite collections

3.1. Phillip Lim SS 15. I really like the color scheme of this collection, love the soft pastel hues together with the bright yellow and dark navy. The oversized shape is something that keeps coming back, season after season and I have to admit that I'm glad for it because I really like boyfriend fits. I also like the shoes a lot, high heels with double ankle straps in real leather as we are used to from Phillip Lim.

Rag & Bone SS 15. This collection attracts me because of the clever bags. I love how the models are wearing the bags crossed around their body and the one on the left reminds me of old fashioned bum bags. I also like the cropped top in combination with the wide legged pants. I'm not sure about the shoes that they paired the looks with though, they somehow look like combinations of all the shoes we already saw during the past fashion weeks (but maybe that's just me).

Suno SS 15. I have to admit that I'm not really familiar with the designs of this label. But seeing this spring summer collection, I think that I will check it more often. I like the cropped trousers, it looks as if they are made out of a silk blend which gives the fabric a subtle shine. I also like the prints and soft colors a lot. So if you spot me in a checkered suit, you know where I got my inspiration from ;).

Tibi SS 15. This is one of the brands that always ends up in my top 5 list. And again this season they created a collection that looks amazing, the looks really represent a cohesive story. I love how many different kinds of shoes are made for this collection, we can find strappy heels, canvas flatforms, layered sandals and leather mules. Another thing I like a lot is the way they played with shapes, textures and lengths.

Alexander Wang SS 15. Last but not least the collection of Mr. Wang. I guess this is always one of the shows that is speculated most about. I really like the designs of Alexander Wang but I do think that the collection aren't that surprising anymore, it's often similar to the previous collection. Don't get me wrong I really like the combination of powerful feminine looks paired with oversized items, but I'll just have to see for how long I'll continue liking it.

Which New York Fashion Week show did you like best, and why? xx

New York Fashion Week

Which collection is your favorite? Loved the ones above and London Fashion Week is looking good as well! I love the boxy and oversized shapes and the cropped ankle length trousers. The shortie shorts in the Alexander Wang look great as well, a beautiful lipstick color at Rag & Bone and that green coat at Calvin Klein is just perfect! xx

New York Fashion Week favorite: Proenza Schouler

As you know the newest collections are being showed in New York at this moment. I picked my favorite looks of the Proenza Schouler collection, I'll share more of other collections later. In a way I was blown away by the items in this Proenza Schouler collection. On the other hand I'm not that much surprised by it, but not in a bad way. I'm happy that the looks and style I liked the best last season are coming back but bigger this time. What I mean is that I cannot get enough of boxy shapes, cropped tops, leather items, intricate patterns and designs and longer bottoms. What do you think of this collection, any favorites so far? xx

NY Fashion Week Part 2

3.1Phillip Lim: fur, leather, cow, biker, boxy fitted items, cross body bags and massive gaits.

Vera Wang: sheer layers, fur, oversized knits, boxy fitted dress, bare shoulders, ankle straps and harness.

Rag&Bone: quilted leather trousers, boxy fitted sweaters, stay ups, cloglike footwear and leather trims.

Tibi: leather trousers, pony hair, boxy fitted sweaters, all white, sheer material and leather collar.

Again all collections are presented at Style.com. It was especially hard to choose four looks of the 3.1Phillip Lim collection, it was by far the best collection I've seen so far. But that doesn't mean that the other collection aren't noteworthy. I love all the grunge like items that are coming down the runway, especially the boxy fitted sweaters and coats. Do you have any favorites?

Am I the only one who is always longing for spring to come but at the moment the next Fall Winter collections hit the runways I secretly hope we can skip spring and summer all together. I'm really enthusiast about these collections, lots of leathers, furs and pony hair processed in both feminine and boxy shaped items.
