The first day of New York Fashion Week it snowed; and by snow, I mean SNOW! Thankfully I had this beautiful coat by San Francisco Bay Area fashion brand Tart Collections to keep me warm and cozy! Isn’t it fun that a brand from California kept me warm and toasty in New York?! Love!

If you have been following along, you may have noticed I LOVE Tart Collections! Recently, I wore this fabulous studded moto jacket on the blog, which you can see online here, and here. For the holiday season, and on New Years, I wore this beautiful sequin blazer by Tart Collections, which you can see online here. So as you can tell, I am a huge fan of the brand!

Day one of fashion week was a busy one! I went to several shows including Nicholas K, Ane Amour, Tadashi Shoji, Noon by Noor, Berenik, Katie Ghallagher, and Michael Costello. They were all so amazing; and I already spotted a few trends for fall 2017! So stay tuned! I have fashion week coverage coming up.

Nicholas K fall 2017 New York Fashion Week

Nicholas K sent their fall/winter 2017/2018 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway today at The Skylight Clarkson in New York. The collection, “Built from Scratch” took inspiration from the cultural climate in the 1990s.

With a live performance by DJ Rob Swift Feat and Latasha Alcindor, Nicholas K created an ambiance which spoke of revolution, diversity, and political militancy. The music combined with the collection took us back to a decade which promised communal diversity, unity, and community advocacy.

The fall 2017 collection stayed true to Nicholas K’s brand with sophisticated yet effortless draping, flowing fabrications, and a luxurious vibe; yet fused it together with a more urban, hip-hop influenced aesthetic. The result is luxury with a bit of street cred. Love that!

I fell in love with the pale beige, luxurious velvet, and fabulous gold coats! Nicholas K has outdone themselves for fall 2017, this is a collection to covet for the fall season.

On a plane to New York Fashion Week

marissa webb spring 2017 nyfw

Today I am on a plane to New York Fashion Week. As we prepare for fashion week, we are still experiencing the winter 2017 season; although stores are already showing us spring 2017,  starting tomorrow, we will learn all about fall 2017. Isn’t it amazing how the fashion calendar works?

We already know Greenery is the color of 2017, so as we look towards the new, upcoming trends of fall 2017, we can rest assured there should be some Greenery on the fall 2017 runways. But which trends from last fall will survive? Which new trends for the upcoming spring 2017 will prove to be lasting?

The current spring 2017 trends which are already proving popular on the street include statement earrings, denim, athleisure, mini bags, anything Gucci (which, to be frank, we can only find on Gucci’s runway haha), shades of blue, shades of pink, pale or grey nail polish, vampy or beige lipstick, and slides. Will these trends continue on the fall 2017 runway?

Last fall, we saw huge trends in lace-up sweaters, bell sleeves, creepers, saddle bags, 1990s influence, 1970s influence, and block heels. Will any of these consumer favorites continue in the upcoming fall 2017 season?

We will have the answers to these questions and more starting tomorrow! Which trends from last year would you like to see continue? Are there any trends you hope stay off the runways, and the streets? Leave a comment below and start the discussion!
