New York Fashion Week show reviews for spring/summer 2017 collections

A downtown event space was transformed into a beachfront paradise for the Rosie Assoulin presentation. Between packing peanut “sand,” a stack of beach chairs and palm trees, the only thing missing was the waves — unless you count the seemingly effortless beach waves some of the models were rocking.

The space set the stage for Assoulin’s spring/summer 2017 collection, which was heavy on floral sundresses, ruffled tops and striped color block patterns, some of which shimmered in the “sun.” Most looks were topped off with floppy hats and wicker bags. Models sipped sparkling lemonade and snacked on Sour Patch Kids and taffy candies.

One business look (a grey pinstripe suit and capri combo) sneaked into the presentation and seemed out of place along a shoreline of vibrant color. (Meghan Giannotta)
