New York Fashion Week has come to a close. New York was actually a surprise this time around, with many houses showing some pretty directional collections. In my mind, New York is all about commercial access versus showing the future of fashion. The trend the surprised me more than any other was a study on American heritage. This is a trend that has been part of the high street trends for 2 years now, so I thought it was done and it was time to move on. Proenza Schouler managed to take an existing trend and turn it on it's head. The American Navajo trend has been in the market since Opening Ceremony started their incredible collaboration with Pendleton two years ago. Since then, it's been part of American streetwear and is one of the strongest trends to hit the market in a long time. Because it's already caught on, I never thought a fashion house would go anywhere near it, but I was proven wrong, and thankfully so! I know I've said this for the past three seasons, but this was definitely Proenza's strongest collection to date! They managed to reinvent and invigorate an existing trend and make it totally their own.

MUGLER
Absolutely beautiful ads for the new Mugler collection by Nicola Formichetti. Campaign model is Rick Genest, who Nicola discovered through Facebook. He has quite the career ahead of him now.
