3 Trends We Loved From New York Fashion Week

Intricate embroidery, opulent brocades and tactile fringing emerged as defining elements across several collections, adding a sense of depth and tactility to languid silhouettes. At Kallmeyer, beaded, tinsel-like trims shimmied across sheer skirts and dresses, while at Anna Sui, iridescent beads, sequins and delicate appliquéd lace made every look feel like a treasured heirloom. Elsewhere, Ralph Lauren Collection explored antique textiles and elements of historical dress through a modern lens; Conner Ives incorporated chinoiserie-inspired florals on dresses and Art Nouveau-coded, faux fur-trimmed jackets; and Heirlome’s Stephanie Suberville spotlighted Latin American artisanship with tassels, fringing and intricate knitting techniques.

Wear now: Heirlome’s tassel-trimmed ‘Matilde’ jacket and Dries Van Noten’s intricately embroidered tote are an elegant pairing with either tailored pants or jeans, while Erdem + Barbour’s embellished waxed cotton-jacquard coat makes an impactful statement.

From vibrant jewel tones to neon brights, color saturated the runways. Conner Ives and Altuzarra both opted for color-pop separates in tomato red, bright pink, turquoise and lime green, creating eye-catching looks that commanded attention. Meanwhile, Tory Burch and Kallmeyer championed head-to-toe color blocking, showcasing vibrant jewel hues ranging from teal and amethyst at Burch to eggplant, raspberry and citrine at Kallmeyer.

Wear now: Make an impact in Balmain’s open-back mini dress in draped chartreuse satin with black accessories, or add a pop of color to pared-back outfits with Alaïa’s purple suede ‘Le Teckel’ bag.
