MELKE, known for whimsical gender-fluid garments with a sewed-in storyline, led by example with a James and the Giant Peach-inspired collection made it’s runway debut with models of all ages and sizes. These colorful collections represent the future of fashion with accessibility through wearability, open casting calls, body diversity and gender-fluid design taking priority in the designers’ approach. This season, AKNVAS, Colin Locascio and MELKE all made runway debuts during NYFW in partnership with Afterpay’s RunwayX experience.

In addition, New York City champions new and emerging talent which naturally results in a fresh perspective on the runway. MELKE AKNVAS Colin LoCascio Getty Images. This, therefore, allows trends to progress and develop instead of falling into the pit of microtrend fast-fashion doom. Designers like Jason Wu, Christian Siriano and Rodarte were able to take moments from the current fashion zeitgeist and elaborate on them. Believe me, you have plenty to choose from.Īfter evaluating a season’s worth of shows, I’m usually able to pinpoint around six major trends-so why were there so many this season? For starters, many of the major trends like the “pantless look”, rosettes and sheer lace dresses were continuations of themes that are currently circulating social media and store window displays. How am I so sure? After attending fashion shows every day for the past week, I was able to note at least 14 (yes, 14!) solidified trends walking down the runway. Whether you’re virtually tuning into runway shows or speed-clicking through your favorite influencer’s Instagram stories, I’m positive that you’ll notice at least one fashion week trend for 2023 that you can’t wait to get your hands on. Here, Vogue looks back at the 22 most memorable runway finales of all time.It’s fashion month which means designers across the globe will be debuting their collections for Fall/Winter 2023-New York Fashion Week just wrapped up and gave us the first glimpse of what we can expect to see in stores, on the streets and in subsequent shows as the fashion marathon continues this month. Over the last few years, these are the images that have been burned into the fashion industry’s collective memory: the original 1990s supermodels reuniting at Versace’s S/S 2018 show to the strains of George Michael’s Freedom! ’90 Rihanna speeding down the catwalk on the back of a motorbike after her S/S 2018 Fenty x Puma show Christopher Bailey taking his final bow at Burberry after Cara Delevingne closed the show in a rainbow-colored cape. It was a fitting finale for a collection that put diversity, romance, and hope center stage. Visibly emotional, she stood beside Pierpaolo Piccoli as the crowd applauded and a dazzling cast of models lined up behind them wearing the designer’s ruffled creations. Just think of Naomi Campbell gliding down the runway in a sumptuous translucent black gown for Valentino’s spring/summer 2019 couture presentation. It’s the closing look of a show that is relied upon to make a lasting impression.
