Jay Godfrey spring/summer 2015 New York Fashion Week

Jay Godfrey held his spring/summer 2015 presentation at New York Fashion Week on September 4, 2014 at the The Hub in New York. The collection evoked a Western, boho-chic vibe infused with effortless glamour. The subtle colors mixed with neutral, soft metallics and luxurious textured fabrications gave the collection an inviting feeling which was modern and fresh. Although it was a presentation where the models stood on a platform instead of walked a runway, onlookers could easily see the movement in the pieces as models changed poses and allowed us to view the dimension of each piece. The fringe jacket in the bottom photo was a stand-out piece for me; I am also in love with the pants!

Cutecircuit spring summer 2015 New York Fashion Week

Cutecircuit sent their spring/summer 2015 runway collection down the New York Fashion Week runway this morning showing a modern fusion between fashion and technology. Many of Cutecircuit’s clothing and accessories offer light-up patterns controlled by technology.

The amazing feature of Cutecircuit’s collection is that many of their designs appear to light up. The lights can be controlled via an app which, using Bluetooth technology, can program the pattern on the garment. This allows the garment’s owner to change the design and/or color on a whim. Tech savvy fashionistas can wear something different everyday without purchasing a whole new wardrobe. Love that!

Cutecircuit’s spring/summer 2015 collection shown at New York Fashion Week featured evening attire, flirty daytime numbers and one-pieces with lightweight coats. The color palette was subdued and included classic black, neutral tones, bronze/metallic shades and creamy white.

The handbags on Cutecircuit’s spring/summer 2015 runway featured neon lights with messages such as “LOVE.” The handbags were hard box clutches and offered a lighthearted touch to the ensembles they were shown with on the runway.
