New York designers fill us in on what they have planned for the Fall/Winter 2016 season. Consider this your cheat sheet to the runway and check back each morning of Fashion Week for an up-to-date preview…
Pamella Roland: “For Fall 2016, Pamella Roland’s use of striking metallic and linear motifs are inspired by Tokyo’s futuristic skyline and its modernist architecture.”
O’2nd: “The O’2nd Fall/Winter collection is inspired by the Victorian era and embraces a high-vintage theme. The name of the collection, “City and Crafts,” suggests the crafty, elaborate design detail re-interpreted to fit into a wearable everyday city lifestyle. Hand crafted design details, brass buttons and military double breast silhouettes meet slits, cutting and tying techniques to resonate the Victorian mood. American artist Frank Stella’s black and white artwork additionally inspires the design details throughout the collection, with subtle fall and winter color palettes alongside red and cornflower blue point colors to emphasize sophistication.”
Karina Gamez, KARIGAM: “I was inspired by The Angel Falls in Venezuela. It is the perfect combination of nature, texture and beauty shaped by the breathtaking Tepuys mountains.”
Yigal Azrouël: “In the shadow of innocence, surrounding light is exposed.”
Nicole Miller: “Since I was feeling a little frustrated by the lack of winter, I went full on with a Nordic theme: very icy with a spirit of coziness.”
Tanya Taylor: “Foliage”
Michelle Smith, MILLY: “From couture/utilitarian to soft/structured and masculine/feminine, my MILLY Fall 2016 collection is a spirited study of duality.”
NOVIS: “NOVIS’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection is inspired by the juxtaposition between Ellsworth Kelly’s bold, abstract paintings and his delicate renderings of botanicals.”
MONSE: “Finding our Derelicte.”
Kate Spade New York: “Billie Holiday singing the blues in an intimate jazz club, Sade’s smooth and soulful sophisti-pop, Liza Minelli’s divine decadence in Cabaret…This collection is about eclectic individuality, an homage to those who dream big.”
