It’s always fashion week in some part of the world, and yesterday was day 1 of New York Fashion Week. Now unlike Paris, London or Milan, New York is all about wearable luxury. Designers are calculative and make garments to affect trends and inspire sales, as opposed to the eccentric minds on the European and Japanese scene who don’t give a f*ck! In conclusion, it gives us fashion lovers something different to lust for.
On that note, here are our 5 fabulous moments from day 1 at #NYFW:
Spanish twist on old-world silhouettes at Sachin & Babi
Sachin & Babi revealed looks from their autumn/winter 2016/17 collection on day 1. The collection presented a dreamy interpretation of vintage couture styled with a heavy Spanish accent.

Window pane checks at Marissa Webb
Plaids and checks are a norm at a winter wear show. And Marissa Webb picked the chicest form of them all! Working around versions of window pane checks, the looks were clean with a slight pop of colour in select looks.

Happy vibes at Desigual
While shiny, happy models are a rarity on the runway, you will always spot smiling models at a Desigual show. In addition to the brand’s trademark show style, the collection matched the energy with some vibrant print-on-print action.

Apocalyptic awesomeness at Nicholas K
Nicholas K has done it again. Staying true to the label’s form and fluidity, the AW’16 collection was dark and dramatic.

Kanji beauty vibes at Cristina Ruales
Japan has always been a strong pool of inspiration for fashion. And dipping right into that pool were the models at Cristina Ruales‘ AW’16 show. The beauty look comprised of a chic messy top knot with pronounced eyebrows that were balanced with stark Kanji styled red strokes under the eyes.
#Spotted desi girl, Bhumika Arora at BCBGMaxazria
We pointed out top model, Bhumika Arora in our Rise and Return of the Indian Supermodel 2015 round-up post. And we’re super so happy to see her at NYFW for BCBGMaxazria. Question is, will we spot more Indian faces in the coming days?
This was Day 1 & 2 ladies. So stay tuned for more updates on New York Fashion Week coming up soon!
