The models have left the Big Apple after strutting their stuff down the runways for some of the world's hottest designers. As New York Fashion Week comes to an end, it's time to analyse the shows and check out what we can expect to see in AW15. We're here to give you the run down from this year's showstopping catwalks!
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
If you grew up in the '90s watching all the classic animated movies, you're sure to have had an Anastasia obsession at some point. For AW15, the Russian doll theme is very much upon us, with rich jewel tones and glistening gold embellishments contrasting against black and white backdrops. This was one of the most commonly seen trends at NYFW, with the majority of the designers taking some inspiration. If there's one fashion bandwagon you should be jumping on this autumn/winter, it's definitely this one!
NOMADIC
Winter is all about wrapping up, and with all the snow we've had this season you can guarantee we'll be seeing more of it next year! Designer legends like Anna Sui donned their models in suede eskimo style boots and fur trimmed outerwear for a nomadic feel. Think neutral tones with splashes of wine red and steel blue for a modern twist on a classic winter theme.
ROYALTY
We've already seen hints of jewel tones through the 'From Russia With Love' and 'Nomadic' trends, but some designers went one step further and dressed their models in head-to-toe bold colour. Fur outerwear and gold have also been worked into this regal trend - think Queen Victoria or the House of Tudor. There's nothing too over the top for this look; adorn yourself as much as you can and don't hold back!
ICE PRINCESS
This winter, expect to see lashings of embellishment over snowy shades of sheer chiffon and mesh. Many of the designers at NYFW modelled their entire collection on this theme, with intricate beading and flowing trains being a heavy focus. Marchesa's collection in particular had a strong ethereal style, with this powdery grey-blue tiered chiffon dress being an absolute showstopper. The Frozen hype is very much still with us, so don't be afraid to rock this ice princess look!
Stay tuned for our next AW15 run down next week with all the best from London Fashion Week!
