The best moments from New York Fashion Week, the first day

By Proenza Schouler? It was sure! But even if Isaac Mizrahi’s ex-Muse look isn’t wearing the 38, we’re still sitting up a little straighter when he takes it down the runway, because the idea of ​​a monochrome rainbow riff is pretty clever, especially on a black exterior like that. Dust coat. (It also comes in white, but we don’t trust ourselves with lace and wearable art this close, you know?)

In theory, the best clothes should make your life simple and complex at the same time. In theory, designer Jeffrey Kalinsky thumbed that line in a confident way with cream suits, cobalt pants and a chic “ballerina” black dress that nailed Audrey Hepburn’s whole whiff thing. But all people’s senses love the bright optimism of this collection – so why did each look appear on very young, very tall and very thin people? Don’t say “fashion is an illusion”. We all dream in color and body. Of course, we dream about this collection too—especially the little red dress—but there’s no need to think about the line’s target customer (women who rule the world, money to spend, and a birthday before Obama’s election). In these modern ideas of women.

Janet Jackson goes to Elizabeth Taylor’s old townhouse to see Karen Elson open Christian Siriano’s show. Seriously. Says Siriano: “I’ve always wanted to inspire the idea of ​​looking normal without being normal and looking like Katharine Hepburn and of course Liz Taylor without living the past. He can totally breathe barbicore with Charles James Reiff ballroom dresses and cinched satin waists, hot pink puffball party dresses. Also, like Mr. Sondheim, look—he made a hat! (10 hats, people, he made ten hats.)

Indeed, they have arranged them in a beautiful style. Check out this party princess at her recent collection launch, which drew Rebel Wilson, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and more bouquets than a wedding planner’s greenhouse. Also: Juicy-colored bucket hats that we really enjoyed.

Leave it to Roxanne Asouline, who monitors Harry Styles’ missives to treat people kindly, and implicitly understands that this includes Crescent. She brought them from L’Appartement 4F in Brooklyn—her staff left at 5 a.m. because they were so in demand—along with quiche, berries, and granola. “I never believed that Americans would make such a crescent,” says Parisian stylist Nelson Tibergin, who you may know as “Child One” in The Young Emperor. He stopped to look at the accessories. When we left, Roxanne gave us rainbow mosaic cookies, matching her favorite bracelets. And there are gemstone earrings, too, just to top it off.)

I’m not going to lie – I was scared when I arrived at the Royal Butterfly Conservatory in Brooklyn for the Colina Strada show and saw a line the entire length of Dimes Square. Will the giant hype finally defeat the small brand? The show “Do You Know Who I Am?” He collapses into a cry. And then… everyone got into the show. Everyone who needed a seat got one; Everything was visually appealing, and beautiful, and responsibly crafted from scraps and reclaimed materials. (That’s what it means.) As the sun set, floaty dresses made of orange pulp fiber fluttered, the audience was momentarily giddy because Jemima Kirke was on the catwalk, and the brand was cooler because it brought people together to witness something beautiful. . This is the inclusive, happy, civilized future we want. Let’s continue ten times.

Back in 1994, to be exact. Head to the archives of the Fairchild Fashion Museum to see some of her most iconic pieces (and Euphoria– worth) A piece for yourself.

That’s my concept of a three-three!-a pile of tight knitwear started the day before fashion week officially started. If you have an Instagram account, you know about Gigi Hadid’s new brand, welcoming, chic and colorful for warm fuzzy feelings. Rainbow sunset sweaters from Kilte, a new brand based in Italy and California, are so soothing, they’re the closest thing to therapy I’ve had all week. And on Air, they’ve expanded from camel and ocean blue to knit (super cool) oversized shirts. (Their party was on a rooftop, and an editor who shall remain nameless, but who is totally Lauren McCarthy of NYLON, snapped a cream tie off the model as she cooled down. Legends only.)
