Q+A UK decodes fall/winter 2013 runway trends as seen at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York
Get ready for new season of style with looks from a few of our favorite designers, who wowed at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York.
Reem Acra
Create contrast. Black and white makes a sharp statement. Reem Acra gives us a few stellar ideas for donning this fierce pair up: a checked wool suit for an urban sensibility, a statement white graphic on black for high impact (seen with embroidered birds in flight across a tunic) and a Japanese floral arrangement for a glam take on eveningwear.
Joanna Mastroianni
Sparkle and shine. For your next night of celebration, don’t skimp on sheen or sparkle. Joanna Mastroianni sent out festive dresses in girly hues, as well as glossy metallics and sultry noirs. Opt for flirty accents, such as sheer necklines and organza lining. Short hemlines are also a ‘do’ in the colder season; just pair them with black tights.
Custo Barcelona
Print your pullover. What’s the simplest way to enliven your fall and winter wardrobe? An exuberant coat! It certainly makes for a stellar, one step statement. Designer Custo Dalmau sent out a colorful array of outerwear on the runway: furs in multi-hues, lace trimmed delicate floral arrangements, and tribal motifs given a sporty spin.
EMERSON by Jackie Fraser Swan
Love leather. At EMERSON, leather saw no limits! Leather waist cinchers, shoulder panels, and accents gave edge to quaint collared dresses. Calfskin shaped skinny pants and pencil skirts, even showing at moments in electric purple. Layer your leather with patterned fabrics that create a cool contrast. Case in point: designer Jackie Fraser Swan’s combination of leather with plaid chiffon.
