[ad_1]
Welcome to New York Fashion Week for the Spring / Summer 2022 collections!
The excitement and return of the catwalks, a live audience and after-parties make it clear: there’s nothing like a show experienced in real time, in person. The runway looks certainly didn’t disappoint in the few days leading up to the also relaunched MET Gala – it was the daring, brash and smug that led the way. Naturally. For the joy – the pleasure! – in clothes; in the institution, the designers, the people who support this industry.
Below, just a handful of trends we’ve seen, loved, and can’t wait to wear.
Trend # 1: Hey, your bra is showing
Just call it an evolution of the Gen Z-staple crop top, or call it a sartorial repercussion derived from our inability to extract limbs from the things we choose to wear (or not wear) when we walk around the house. . Whatever you want, the underwear as outerwear – whether it’s a top adjacent to a bralette or a corset-inspired tank top with boning bands anchored from the rib cage to the top. hip – were a ubiquitous sight on Spring / Summer 2022 runways, from the opening look of Michael Kors to the red-lipped Kendall Jenner, to the triangular variations tucked under shiny dopamine cardigans at Coach.
Trend # 2: wallflowers don’t need to apply
There is a healthy minimum of responsibility in making entrances with glitter all over the body worn like armor; like sheaths of chain mail threaded before battle. The glittery plated kind at TOM FORD, not wrapping up tight or the kind of dresses one would expect on a long stretch of scarlet red carpet. Instead, they beautify everyday silhouettes. Tanktop. Ribbed knit. The bases are very well rendered not so this season. On the subject of OTT designs, there was also an abundance of feathers at Prabal Gurung; satin from head to toe at Christian Siriano; separates very fringed at Proenza Schouler. A fashion season that’s all about joy, deep breaths and all – damn it, Look at me.
Trend # 3: Attached
The area extending from the top of your head to your bar turning? First class real estate. This is the space with the most screen time on FaceTime. On Zoom. On all the chat apps you use to maintain some kind of stubborn connection with long distance friends, lovers and relatives. To keep those few inches interesting, Jonathan Simkhai pleads for a very thong yoke. Eckhaus Latta featured bands of ribbed knit fabric anchored at the arms, tumbling down past the arms. Maryam Nassir Zadeh too, with all asymmetrical spaghetti ties; then, in layers; then, tied and tied on the shoulders like a strap.
Trend # 4: crafty
As you collected supplies for tie-dyeing, bead necklaces, and knitting, embroidery, and crochet this past summer, you’d be remiss if you didn’t imagine your favorite designers with the same instinctive slant. Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler made way for Kauai, for example, and sent their fringed and fringed designs to the runway with handmade necklaces from Maui. Joseph Altuzarra celebrated his return to New York with dyed shibori clothes on a catwalk opened by none other than new mother Gigi Hadid. Gabriela Hearst, always a fan of craftsmanship, started her show with knit maxi dresses embellished at the hips and ribcage with hand-woven inserts in collaboration with Naiomi Glasses and TahNibaa Naataanii of the Navajo Nation.
Trend # 5: A cold summer
There is something to be said for the inter-seasonal collections, with models named for spring / summer strolling down the comfy knit runways; in large coats; in anoraks; in sheepskin; tartan checks and brushed surfaces and houndstooth prints perhaps a lot more familiar sporting another season’s collections. Most of the patents were Coach’s tribute to Bonnie Cashin, a titan who made the brand a household name at her helm, and someone superlatively described as a designer who “cut some of the best clothes in the world. exterior that American fashion has ever seen. We’re all going to need coats in a few months anyway. Or, on vacation, let’s keep our fingers crossed.
