The Best of New York Fashion Week, Fall 2017

February 17, 2017

From Calvin Klein to Oscar de la Renta, Victoria Beckham to Brandon Maxwell, Carolina Herrera, Diane Von Furstenburg and many more…, see the best looks here:

Brandon Maxwell didn't waste time. His first look out was a black leather mini on Joan Smalls. Legs for days countered by long sleeves—also black leather— and a covered-up schoolgirl collar and a sweet layered scalloped hem. Fierce, confident, feminine, smart.

What followed were body-con looks without being clingy; more molded and tailored precisely to his women's figures and less restricted, whether he was working in leather, wool or cashmere. Jumpsuits and trousers with long wide legs; breathtakingly mini skirts and dresses; blouses and tops either cropped or carved out at the waist. 

One of the neatest details was the way he treated sleeves on several dresses and tops: hyper-extending the sleeve and then carving out the front of it to create a cape-like effect.

Rodriguez kept coat silhouettes long and fluid with unstructured shoulders and collars and pants at a cropped length—the better to show off pointy-toed booties in matching gray, winter white, pumpkin and black tones.

His color palette spoke to the brand's favored neutrals: black, camel, gray. Think of it as the triumvirate of luxury. But also injected were oxblood, gold, silver and military green for good measure—all used everything from printed furs to cashmere.
