Academy of Art showed their fall/winter 2014/2015 collection on the runway at New York Fashion Week on Friday, February 7, 2014. The stunning collection featured designs from Academy of Art students and recent graduates Jaci Hodges, Nisha Hanna Btesh, Frank Tsai, Andrea Nieto, Arijana Kajdic, Flora Cervantes, Lori Solem, Earnest Huang, Hong Ni, Elizabeth Catellon, Jasmine Gonzales, Mingyu Du and Joseph Khawana. 

San Francisco’s Academy of Art showcased forty-eight designs on their runway which featured a broad range of style and design. There was a fabulous mix of vibrant colors, prints and cozy sweaters. I fell in love with the purple sweater shown in the photo above!

Ruffian showed their fall/winter 2014/2015 collection on Saturday, February 8, 2014 during New York Fashion Week and it was amazing! The collection featured vivid autumn colors, beautiful prints and opulent touches. For fall 2014, Ruffian “explored monastic opulence, tailored volume, and sober religious silhouettes-with lavish sumptuousness.” Their inspiration translated precisely to the collection shown on the runway.

The first and fifth photos show my two favorite looks from the Ruffian fall/winter 2014/2015 runway at New York Fashion Week. You can watch the runway show in the press video below. Which looks were your favorite?

Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan showed her fall/winter 2014/2015 collection on Friday, February 7, 2014 at New York Fashion Week. The collection featured a mix of daytime and evening attire with the perfect amount of sparkle to brighten up a cold, crisp fall or winter day.

Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan’s overall collection featured  a dark, neutral color palette which played well with mixed fabrications, prints and sheer panels. The fabrics were soft and flowing; making each piece inviting to wear! I fell in love with the sparkling black puffy jacket in the photos above.
