New York Fashion Week 2013 Highlights

New York Fashion Week 2013 has just ended so we are now able to figure out what clothes we will see in the shopping windows the next spring-summer season, or at least what trends will be on top. My idea of fashion is that we are not fashion victimes, we’re not passive elements on which brands can do and undo; we’re not mannequins, we don’t deserve being manipulated because we are human being with our personal concepts of beauty, fashion and style.

Stylists express their creativity, their art, their point of view as they want; the choice of follow their ideas is up to us. Fashion should be a way to show the world who we are and there’s no one who can told us who or how we have to be.

So, in this post you’ll see only stylists and creations I liked that are in line with my idea of style of this New York Fashion Week 2013. So you may not see some top designers in this post since I chose to show only what I liked the most.

I’m not fond of world of fashion, too many controversies and too many things with which I disagree, still I love fashion – read clothes, style – itself. And these are my personal highlights from New York Fashion Week 2013. Chiffon and etno-folk patterns for Anna Sui, while Bibhu Mohapatra chose 50’s style with japanese prints; Delpozo plays with volumes, with a lot of creamy fluffiness. Donna Karan mix a strong cowgirl with floating feminine silhouettes, Honor likes a preppy 60’s girl while Marc Jacobs goes for a dark, gothic allure with a romantic twist. Michael Kors thinks about a pragmatic woman who deals with hot South-Mediterranean weather. Ralph Lauren‘s mark is preppy with strong contrast in black/white with some total-colour look for evening. Last but not least Tory Burch likes floral patterns mixed up with satin and clean lines.
