This year, New York Fashion Week was rich in events, but Marc Jacobs surpassed everyone. For his show, he built a pink kingdom. A huge pink house was set up in the middle of the catwalk, which the models avoided by stepping on the pink grass. There was no soundtrack at the Marc Jacobs show. Instead of music, there was a description of each image as soon as the model approached the audience. In the spirit: "On the model - three bags of such a size." It was possible to hear all this only by wearing Beats by Dr. headphones. Dre attached to the seat of each guest. Another important event - makeup on the models during the Marc Jacobs show was completely absent. They were not made up at all. As far as I know, this was the first time in the history of fashion weeks. The remaining brands continue to support the trend for natural beauty and show natural makeup.
After the shows Rebecca Taylor, Thakoon, Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs and the after-party show of my close friend Erin Fetherston, we can note the following trends for next year: kimono, loose women's skirts, many graphic patterns like small cells, military clothing - for example, Marc Jacobs army dresses with pockets and utility jackets khaki. As for the dresses of visitors to the show, minimalism prevails. All dress from head to toe in white silk. Almost no one wears heels - they choose either birkenshtoki or sneakers. Even the well-known Anna Dello Rousseau, who does not miss a single opportunity to dress up in feathers from head to toe, walked on a flat sole and relatively modest outfits.
Fashion weeks are created in order not only to see the shows first, but also to acquire the necessary contacts. People from all over the world come here: photographers, bloggers, designers. Acquaintance with them allows in the future to cooperate in various projects. Therefore, it is essential for industry professionals to be here.
