New York Fashion week A/W 15/16

With New York Fashion week opening the fashion weeks for the year, we take a look at some of the trends which stood out for us...

Dark Grunge

Playing with textures and layers, black on black was a key colour direction for designers resulting in a moody-goth, dark grunge blend.

Folkloric detail

Capturing the essence of romantic patterns, designers used traditional craftsmanship and folkloric details inspired by rich culture.

Fringing

Densely lined or strategically placed, fringing gains momentum creating an alluring sense of movement.

Peacock blues

Deep blue shades add vibrancy to the A/W 15/16 colour palette and create a shadow effect with high pile fabrics.

Pure and Simple

Minimalism gets a modern update for A/W 15/16. The use of luxurious materials, a soft colour palette, fold details and open seams ensure a complex purity.
