Collectively, the looks from the fashion designers ranged from clothing inspired by the past to designs that had a forward-looking, futuristic vibe.
Some collections featured leg-of-mutton and puff sleeves and the voluminous skirt silhouettes of the 19th century or looks inspired by the 1960’s, 70’s and ’80’s.
Other collections anchored the aesthetic in the present with geometric, minimal, and modern clean lines while some designs looked ahead with garments constructed from fabric that had a metallic sheen for a futuristic feel.
Color and floral prints were trends seen at NYFW for spring. This is so fitting because beautiful, bright colors and blooms are hallmarks of that season. Mixed prints and patterns, another runway trend, can also be reminiscent of the medley of nature’s colors and patterns in spring and summer.
