New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer '19 is almost here!
Every
fashion week includes beautiful garments, next-level beauty,
conversation-starting runway shows, front rows filled with celebrities
and A-list parties that give us serious FOMO. Yet, this fashion week
promises to be all of that, plus more.
Newness and change are
common themes in the conversations proceeding the event. There are new
companies sprouting from designers that used to co-own popular labels
(like Cushnie, a new line from a previous owner of Cushnie et Ochs), as
well as a bright light on up-and-coming designers. A. Human will make a
case for body modification in the form of fashion accessories—a new
blend of style and technology.
Rihanna,
however, will use technology differently with a Savage x Fenty party
(in lieu of a runway show for Fenty Puma) and accompanying release of
the new lingerie line online.
There's a packed schedule with back-to-back moments you don't want to miss.
Getting pumped? Scroll all of the exciting things you can expect to see at NYFW Spring/Summer '19 below!

Off-Duty Style and Front Row Looks
Frankly, the NYC streets are their own runways. Between
shows, models wear their best casual looks, revealing denim and sneaker
trends that will inspire your fall look. Once these stunners make it to
the runway, celebrities follow suit, wearing garments that preview
what's to come on the runway. If you love fashion, get ready for the
best street style photos of the season.

NYFW is attracting more designers

Fashion Week after departing three seasons ago. This season, these

Tell it like it is
Designers use fashion to share their perspective and
aesthetic with the world. The runway, therefore, acts as a platform that
allows these creatives to make major statements and shake things up.
It's common for designers to spark conversations of women's empowerment,
racial diversity, body positivity and more through their selection of
models and clothing. Chromat, Christian Siriano and Prabal Gurung are of
the most notable designers moving the proverbial needle.

Unreal Accessories
Last week,
Kim Kardashian,
Chrissy Teigen and
Queer Eye's
Tan France gave
a preview of an exciting NYFW exhibit from A. Human. Created by public relations pro
Simon Huck,
the company creates body modifications and will open its flagship store
this month. To promote the new brand, NYFW goers can attend a
theatrical performance and display their collection of body-altering
accessories.

For the coffee table book addict...
In 2014, Russell James published
Angels, a book
of nude portraiture featuring Victoria's Secret models. While they
didn't wear wings, the book became a best-seller with its body-baring
works of art. After four years, he's releasing a second book,
Angels The Collector's Edition (2018), and throwing a party during NYFW to celebrate.
"To
make this something extraordinary, I have limited the books to 1,000
copies and used the highest production qualities available in every
category," he shared on
LinkedIn. "I wanted to create a book that was in and of itself an art object that pays homage to the amazing women who have trusted me."
Cindy Crawford and
Candice Swanepoel are co-hosting the event.

Happy Anniversary!
While
Victoria Beckham is heading to
London Fashion Week for the 10th year of her collection, Badgley Mischka
will celebrate their 30th anniversary in New York on Saturday night.
While the details involving the runway show and inevitable celebration
are on the hush, milestones are a great excuse to do something extra.
