New York Fashion Week | Trends Part 2

Andddd the Fashion Week recap continues! Enjoy!

Bibhu Mohapatra showed a clean, edited collection with dresses, gowns, harem pants, and clean-cut tuxedos. The collection was perfectly minimalistic without being boring, with a soft, muted palate (dove grey, dark grey, black, beige, pale pink, mauve) with the occasional refined embellishments and shots of yummy orange. My favorites -- the combination of grey and orange (grey top and orange harem pants, first photo), the orange gown (in the first photo), the elegant evening gowns that were just the right amount of glam, and the awesome chain print. Basically, there wasn't anything I didn't like in this collection!

Monique Lhuillier's collection was replete with dresses and gowns, accented with latticed stilettos. The dresses and gowns were clean-cut, with classic, flattering silhouettes and a variety of colors. I especially liked the all-black dresses with their colored panels (middle set of photos), the black-and-white dresses, and the glamorous yet simple evening gowns.

Really liked Carolina Herrera's flowing dresses with their cheery prints and bright colors -- perfect for spring!

Cynthia Steffe had some easily wearable dresses and separates in bright spring colors. Fuss free chic = I like! Love the printed maxi dress (third from the left).

Naeem Khan provided some GLAM to the spring shows with lots of sequins, bright colors and embellishments. Love the draped grey gown (bottom photo), the embellished top and orange skirt (bottom photo) and the gorgeous white kaftan (top photo).

So that's almost it from me for Fashion Week! What were your favorite shows?
