Strutting around runways in the Big Apple

ALEXANDER Wang

Alexander Wang’s Fashion Week runway show was more than just a runway show.

First, it was an anniversary: the 10th of Wang’s namesake brand. It was also a homecoming, of sorts: Wang has just ended his prestigious stint as creative director of Balenciaga in Paris after three years. There were big white T-shirts, lots of oversized jackets, ample hoodies, mesh tanks, low-slung striped trousers. There were bomber jackets, black leather bustiers, plenty of denim and lots of fringe.

Tommy Hilfiger

Models splashed in a lagoon surrounded by a sandy boardwalk to end Tommy Hilfiger’s ode to easy island life.

Looking to add some youthful oomph to the heritage brand, Hilfiger built a wooden boardwalk ringed by sand, hung a hammock and constructed a tiki bar in front of a faux sunset. He sent his models out in multicolored hats and billowy dresses adorned with flora and fauna inspired by textile artist Josef Frank.

A limited-edition silk bomber jacket embroidered with a lion on the back was made available for purchase instantaneously.

Diane von Furstenberg

Talk about a girl squad. Karlie Kloss opened it, Gigi Hadid closed it, and sprinkled in between. Diane von Furstenberg’s New York Fashion Week show was a who’s who of the latest crop of supermodels. The collection had a 1970s nostalgic feel thanks to metallic golds, mixed prints, jumpsuits and high-waisted suits. You could almost picture von Furstenberg dancing at Studio 54 like the days of old in all of these looks — they’ve just been updated for the modern woman with shades of pink, black embellished with gold detailing and white with pops of color.

Oscar De La Renta

Guests entering the Oscar de la Renta show were pleasantly surprised to find a single red carnation on their seats. For designer Peter Copping, it was a Parisian tradition that was worth bringing to New York.

The designer said he drew inspiration for his show at the Hispanic Society of America in Harlem, where he viewed paintings and textiles. There was a carnation print in the collection — in red and white — and the colors of ruby and black were prominent, along with bottle green, saffron and seafoam, among others.
