New York Fashion Week might have come to a close, but we’re still gushing over the looks from it! Between all the fun silhouettes and the colours we’ll be seeing everywhere, this season gave us a fresh bunch of things to obsess about. If you too, would like to get a lowdown on the biggest trends spotted this season, we’ve done the work for you. After a lot of scrolling and screenshotting, we’ve narrowed down five of the biggest trends seen at the New York Fashion Week this season. You’re welcome.
Easily one of the biggest trends of NYFW SS 27, fringes were seen everywhere this season. From Ralph Lauren to Sergio Hudson, and Simkhai to Conner Ives, every designer had their own way of incorporating fringes. From long, sequined dresses that transcended into fringes at the hemline, to fringe galore skirts balanced with plain tops. Fun fact: tassels and fringes were also two of the biggest trends spotted at the India Couture Week this season, with designers like Anamika Khanna, Masaba, JJ Valaya, and Arpita Mehta featuring them. It’s safe to say that if there’s one trend you’re adopting this wedding season, it should be fringes!
We’re anticipating ruffles and frills to be a micro-trend this season. We saw skirts with ruffled hemlines, blouses with ruffled necklines, and dresses covered entirely in ruffles. If you are a bridesmaid to be, or simply a wedding guest who is looking to sport ruffles or frills this wedding season, you can opt for a voluminous ruffled lehenga paired with a dainty off shoulder blouse or a pre-draped sari with a ruffled pallu (from Arpita Mehta).
While floral power never truly goes out of style, it was particularly big this season—big, bold, unmissable, (sometimes even 3D) flowers! From Bibhu Mohapatra’s big, printed flowers to Sabyasachi’s embroidered ones and Marie-Louise Müller’s crocheted ones, we saw flowers of different kinds, with one common thing: they were all super conspicuous.
Feathers and faux feathers were seen across multiple collections this year. While Magda Butrym went for tone-on-tone feathers, Ralph Lauren created colour block looks with feathers, and Cult Gaia opted for two-tone feathered looks.
Another trend that can be a micro-trend this season is asymmetrical necklines. And no, we’re not just talking about the one shoulder neckline. Exhibit A: this crooked off shoulder neckline seen at Christian Siriano.
