Monique Lhuillier sent her spring/summer 2015 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway on September 5, 2014. This was by far my favorite show of New York Fashion Week. The colors were muted and dreamy, the entire show was dream-like as the models floated down the runway in dresses and garments worthy of a princess. The stitching was intricate, the designs flawless and the silhouettes were flattering.

The colors were feminine and soft along with the fabrics. Pant legs were cropped, a trend on the spring 2015 runways in New York, while skirt hemlines hit mostly below the knee; another trend. The shoes were bi-color and offered a thick, sturdy heel with an ankle strap. The finale dresses and final walk included beautiful iridescent flowers falling from the sky; in line with the dream-like production.

Amir Taghi showed his spring/summer 2015 collection during New York Fashion Week. The collection was sophisticated and offered sleek fabrications which surprisingly offered texture and movement. There was a mic of matte fabrics, lace, sheer panels and beadwork. The collection was wearable and ideal for both daytime and evening on warm summer days. 

Amir Taghi showed three distinct hemlines; below the knee (a huge trend for ss15), just above the knee and mini. The silhouettes were form fitting and body conscious; accentuating a women’s curves.
