The Best Looks from New York Fashion Week Spring 2017
This season, it can be tough to tell what season designers are showing. Some are looking ahead, presenting their Spring 2017 collections. Others, like Thakoon and Tom Ford, are offering a first look at their Fall 2016 pieces, which are hitting stores now. Here's a guide to the highlights from New York Fashion Week's shows and presentations – no matter the season.
Italian designer Alessandro Trincone’s Spring 2017 collection was headline news weeks before it even hit the VFILES runway. His Japanese-inspired, wide-leg, blue “Kosode” trousers, which are paired with an umbrella headpiece, were chosen by VFILES mentor and rapper Young Thug for the cover of his new album, “No My Name Is Jeffery.” At the VFILES show on Wednesday, however, the look lacked gravitas without Thug as a model, but the all-white version, which can be worn perhaps as a men’s wear wedding dress, stood out in the lineup instead. – Emilia Petrarca
Misha Nonoo is no stranger to digital innovation--last season, she presented her collection on Instagram. This season, the medium changed (she opted for Snapchat, instead), but the clothes were consistently chic and wearable. – Courtney Costello
As light and salty as a summer dip in the ocean, the Brock girl wears full-on ruffles with complete insouciance, accessorized with luxe slides and matted, roughed up '40s hair. – Vanessa Lawrence
Leave it to Creatures of the Wind to make a floral silk column dress – with lace appliqués to boot – feel anything but girlish. With snakeskin boots and a bold red lip, this look can go rocker grunge or ultra feminine. A study in contrasts, which is of course what Creatures does best. – Ally Betker
The more colors you have in a knitted garment, the increasingly difficult it becomes to produce. Luckily for the girls behind Ph5, they have their own factory back in China, where they work closely with the technicians to produce extremely elaborate knitwear at an affordable price point. This look in particular highlights both the brand’s craftsmanship and their fresh take on how a modern, young woman really wants to wear her luxury knits today. – Emilia Petrarca
This colorful look stands out amongst the more minimalist Spring 2017 Colovos collection, which has become the brand's signature since it was founded last year. The husband-and-wife team behind Colovos were formerly the creative directors at Helmut Lang, but this dress proves how their wiping the slate clean and presenting something really personal instead. The print is a photograph that Michael Colovos took of a peeling wall in the subway, which he took while dropping his son off at skateboard camp this summer. – Emilia Petrarca
This season, Jason Wu experimented with sporty touches - neon, cut outs and stretch knits - but the most striking looks were the delicate lacy evening dresses that embraced the brand’s core ladylike aesthetic. – Sam Milner
Area’s designers Beckett Fogg and Piotrek Panszczyk have a clever way of making crazy look chic, as evidenced by this crystal tiger-print pantsuit. – Karin Nelson
Kicking off New York Fashion Week with an intimate dinner and show, Tom Ford set the bar high. The collection was sexy, sophisticated and glamorous. Best of all? It hit stores the night of the show and is available to buy and wear now. - Rickie De Sole
After a season away from the New York Fashion Week schedule, Thakoon returned on Thursday night with his first see now buy now show. The fall collection was heavy on layering - taking the dress the designer is known so well for and piling on the knits, jackets, vests and socks to make it a look ready for any weather condition. - Rickie De Sole
For Spring 2017, Akris remained true to the brand's sophisticated DNA, but added an extra dose of femininity with pieces like this whimsical silk pleated black and white dress. - Nora Milch
Adam Lippes found ideas for his spring collection on a trip to Jamaica, but this silk and lace flounce top, inspired by the traditional quadrille dress, will work just as well in the big city. - Karin Nelson
You can always count on Tanya Taylor for a pretty print, and this season's florals are exactly what you want to wear on a breezy spring day. - Caroline Grosso
For his Spring 2017 Coach collection, Stuart Vevers blends a feminine touch to a traditional red perfecto jacket by adding lace embroidering and pairing it with a sheer floral skirt and floral briefs. – Nora Milch
