Fashion Week Spring 2016: Must-see runway looks and show reviews

By Posted on
  • The Parsons School of Design MFA Catwalk Show featured designs by more than a dozen of the school's emerging designers. Music, lights and ominous voiceovers set the stage for the dramatic looks that followed. Every time the collection changed, so did the theatrics, giving it the feel of a dozen mini runway shows in one. From N.W.A's

  • The scene: It always seems like a party pre-show at Tracy Reese. There's a swirl of air kissing and hugs from the designer's friends and followers; big name stylists --in this case Ty Hunter (think Beyoncé) and June Ambrose (think Mary J. Blige) -- and on Sunday afternoon, Sarah Jessica Parker joined the crew. Dressed in an embellished black Tracy Reese dress and her SJP Collection shoes-- these ultra sparkly, well she wasn't alone in the shoe department. The models all wore various styles in an SJP x Tracy Reese collaboration. The clothes: The kicks were cool-- especially a PVC bootie, clear plastic layered over a print, that matched up with a few looks from Reese's ebullient runway--a study in transparency and shine. A smoky PVC shift topped a plaid slip-- such an alluring look (and probably would fend of showers) while a number of humble silos, such as a sweatshirt, were elevated by their sheerness. Gloriously colorful dresses -- some in tropical prints, others in lush tones of yellow, red and green -- were divine. There was enough shimmer to light the night-- a tee shirt was bathed in sequins and several dresses were dappled with crystals. A golden beaded linen coat made the must-have list. Happiness is: Being Sarah Jessica Parker and seeing your shoes stalk the catwalk. She was beaming. -- Anne Bratskeir

  • The scene: The high wattage front row at Stuart's Saturday morning show included Zoisa Mamet, Bella Thorne, musician Jesse Jo Stark and Solange Knowles (not talking to the press, not allowing photos and not wearing Jill Stuart) -- all perfect customers for the young, flirty brand. The Clothes: Program notes provided the vibe -- Dancey, electric, sheeny, trippy, magnetic. Dancey indeed. The clothes conjured the disco era with whippet slim high-waisted, pants -- some with slit legs, billowy floor-length dresses and fitted, knee-grazing skirts topped by built-in bra tube tops or in one case a saucy little flouncy bandeau. The final look, a tiered, black, sparkly mini dress begged for a beat on the dance floor. Duly Noted: A killer maxi coat of black leather sparkled -- fierce, feminine and fabulous. -- Anne Bratskeir
