New Fashion Trends Revealed on High Fashion Week in New York

Head Band

High Fashion Week in New York revealed - the headband is the "hottest" hat! Fine vintage accessories help create a complete image. The headband is not as pretentious as a hat and can be combined with casual styles. However, it will look particularly striking with evening dresses.

Models from Left to Right: Sass & Bide, Alexander Wang and Erin Fetherston.

Bows

Large bows at the neck visually enhances a small chest and attracts attention to your charming face.

Models: Charles Nolan, Doo Ri, Alexander Wang

Purple

Purple is still the fashion's favorite color right now. All shades of purple swayed on the runway during the Fashion Week in New York: from the saturated bright purple (Abaete) to the delicate muted purple (Oscar de la Renta).

Models: Diane Von Furstenberg, Abaete and Oscar de la Renta.

Fishnet

Sexy fishnet stockings is another trend of the Fashion Week in New York. In addition, mesh fabric is added into the blouses.

Models: Verrier, Baby Phat and Sass & Bide

Whiter than White

Most men consider white the sexiest color. It seems like designers listened to their opinion. The abundance of white dresses was blinding at some shows.

Models: Abaete, Verrier, and Erin Fetherston.

Maxi

"Evening dresses must be floor-length" - this is a mandate of the designers at the High Fashion Week in New York. Romantic maxi for a reception or a black-tie dinner? Why not!

Models: BCBG, Lela Rose, and Oscar de la Renta.

Forest Nymphs

Juicy foliage color is still a designer's favorite. Pair it with deep brown and you won't go wrong!

Models: Catherine Malandrino, Cynthia Steffe and Doo Ri.

What We Love from the 80's

Eighties are back. And so are all the consequences: shoulder pads, leggings, and pattern sweaters.

Models: Betsey Johnson, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Preen.
