New York designers share the inspiration behind their Spring/Summer 2017 collections. Check back each morning of Fashion Week for an up-to-date sneak peek…

Nicholas K: “Desert dwellers.”

Ulla Johnson: “An exploration of the vast American prairie told with a gaucho spirit and a dancers flair.”

Marissa Webb: “Counterbalance.”

Telfar: “For SS17 unisex designer TELFAR continues to refine and expand his core practice of taking what is most utterly normal in American style — and double down on it: Deconstructing its form, reimagining its function, and projecting it into the future. The result is a speculative wardrobe for the future-present: a style-fi uncanny precisely because it’s so familiar.”

Josie Natori: “The Spring ‘17 collection marks a new chapter, and celebrates the global heritage of Josie Natori.”

Charles Youssef: “Our spring collection is inspired by the idea of geometric optimism, and how a sense of order can bring you a feeling of freedom.”

Orla Kiely: “This Spring Summer 17 collection has been inspired by the free spirit Mimi Farina.”
