Around Lincoln Center

New York Fashion Week is about as close to a trade show as the fashion world gets. Aside from buying conventions, fashion week is when the new trends and styles are introduced for the upcoming season. In addition to designers showing their new collections, New York Fashion Week attracts celebrities, sponsors and outlandish outfits. When looking around Lincoln Center and inside the tents, there are a lot of beautiful things to be found; as well as celebrity spottings! Here are a few snaps from inside and outside of the Lincoln Center Tents during New York Fashion Week spring/summer 2015.

Luis Antonio showed his spring/summer 2015 collection at New York Fashion Week on September 6, 2014. Luis Antonio’s collection was diverse and offered looks for daytime, evening, special occasions and everyday wear. There was a large selection of separates and dresses; something for everyone, everyday. Loved it!

Luis Antonio used a vibrant color pallette mixed in with soft neutral hues as well as elegant navy and black. There was a variety of hemlines on the runway which included mid-thigh, below the knee, t-length and maxi length. The fabrics were a mix of structured and soft as well as embellished or flat. Luis Antonio played with mixed prints, tailored waistlines and deep v-necks to create a beautiful collection fit for varying tastes.
