QUOTIDIANOMIME

In New York, the curtains are about to close on the autumn-winter 2015/16 starring among the many inspirations and trends seen on the catwalk, the strength and the power given off by all the collections presented in the last three days by the most important designers of America and of the world.

Whether a teenager (Tommy Hilfiger), a schoolgirl rock (Marc by Marc Jacobs), a metropolitan seductress (Rodarte, Donna Karan, Diane Von Furstenberg, Narciso Rodriguez), a cosmopolitan traveler (Michael Kors, The Row, Thakoon, Prabal Gurung) or a modern Grace Kelly (Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera) does not matter, because what makes a difference on the street and in life is the charisma that transmits from a woman and, through her clothes, this will succeed very well.

Power, strength, safety, dynamism and firmness are the messages and keywords that are perceived seeing cuts (clean and dry), the silhouettes (slender but soft) and the nuances presented on the runway.

The union of gold and black will be a absolute must-have, the fiery red and electric blue will seduce and short dresses and long dresses with embroideries along with the play of light given by the Swarovski crystals will rage.

For the day, a nice coat will be essential, as for men’s fashion, (montgomery revisited in the first place), a dress from the gap catchy but not vulgar and medium-heeled shoes or sneakers.

It is interesting to note, then, as almost all the designers, from Rodarte to Narciso Rodriguez and from Donna Karan to Prabal Gurung, have focused particular attention for evening gowns and cocktail dresses thus paving the roads (finally!) to a sensual vision of the metropolitan woman: a perfect balance between business and pleasure and between day wear and evening wear was missing for a long time on the American catwalks.

 

But this New York Fashion Week is not to be remembered only for the presentation of these sensual and strong autumn-winter 2015/16 collections but also for two important anniversaries of the fashion system: 30 years of casual wear from the label Tommy Hilfiger and 10 years of conceptual-transformist fashion from Rodarte.

Yesterday there was also the debut of Peter Copping as creative director of Oscar de la Renta that, not only fished from the archives of the house but also the testimonies and the stories of the people who personally knew de la Renta, has presented a phenomenal collection for the American brand which is nothing more than a transposition to the future of the concept of romance created by the dominican designer during his career.
