NYFW SS 17: 11th & 12th

Tome had this Queen of Hearts vibe throughout the entire collection, making good use of geometric prints, a unique plaid and floral combination, and stripes from thin pinstripes to Beetlejuice lengths. Dramatic ruffles appeared alongside metallic foiled fabric, making wrinkles fashionable (one could only hope...). In their fifth season, the men behind Tome stuck to their black and white routes, adding in pops of punchy colors when needed.

Proenza Schouler took to the spring/summer collections with primary colors and simple geometric prints, adding on feathers and ruffles to make it look like a very high-end and glamorous elementary school project in the best way possible. Between structured garments with rippled fabric, knots and bows, licorice colored leather, boxy and easy shapes, each piece had a unique simplicity to it. The pieces, already art themselves, also featured graphics of actual pieces of art, ornate marble statues and busts printed onto the fabric.

Jenny Packham said cohesion be damned and used her distinct creative elements and style (embellishments on embellishments on embellishments) to create a "collection" to fit the mood, tone and idea of different types of women.
