NYFW Faves

Sculptural silhouettes, organic details, hand-crafted elements, Moroccan influence, easy elegance — these were some of the common threads that ran through my favorite shows from NYFW Spring 2015.

Adam Lippes: Easy elegance by way of Morocco. The mix was minimal meets decadent. #holytassels #unrealpleats

Rachel Comey: Always a bit off in a jolie laide kind of way, coolly imaginative, really wearable.

Isa Arfen: Made me want to go to Palm Springs (more than usual, even). Preppy meets punky meets mid-century fringe details.

The Row: The Olsens continue to master their calling card uber-luxurious minimalism in the form of long, slit tunics with organic, woven details, deceivingly simple trousers and pared-down strapless dresses with the perfect amount of volume (a little too much).

Rosie Assoulin: Her sculptural aesthetic was evident, down to woven bags that could double as ceramic vessels from distance. Assoulin's looks ride the line between minimal and maximal, casual and dramatic, edgy and feminine — they offer something new without being gimmicky. And she knows her way around anything off-the-shoulder.

6397: It's still all about jumpsuits, and 6397 knows how to do them right — in slouchy denim with heavy workwear references. Their washes are worn-in, faded and dirty in a way that feels, oddly, fresh.

J Crew: The unerring messy-cute ponytail, oversized glasses, shoulder-draped jacket styling was on point as per usual. The J Crew girl was compelling as usual — this time in pajama dressing details and traditional textiles.
