New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2017 wrapped up this past week with a number of stand-out presentations featuring top American designers.
This year dawned the era of the influencer. From the front row to the runway, influential faces such as Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid, Chrisselle Lim, Aimee Song, Victoria Justice, the Beckerman Sisters, Kylie Jenner, Carrie Bradshaw, Teyana Taylor, Sita Abellan, and Julianne Moore were in full form.
As they have in past seasons, designers Kate Spade and Rebecca Minkoff continued to leverage technology adding a real time edge to their respective shows. From see-now-buy now presentations to social media campaigns, designers seem to be embracing a new wave of consumer buying habits. Our social media feeds were overflowing with goodness.
