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.

The overall collection featured a fall-like color palette on spring attire which added a fresh twist to warm weather ready-to-wear. The ensembles were soft and flowing; offering movement and texture to the overall looks. It was a chic and fresh take on spring!

I am on a plane today, heading to New York for fashion week! Although we are still enjoying summer 2014, in the world of fashion, it is time to think about spring and summer 2015! I am looking forward to seeing over twenty runway shows in New York this week and bringing the new trends for 2015 back to the Bay Area; and to you!

In spring/summer 2014 we enjoyed both pastels and brights, strappy high heels and mini satchels. What will spring/summer 2015 bring to the world of fashion? Will colors be bright? Pastel? Muted? Will shoes offer clean lines or straps galore? Will handbags continue to be microscopic or will they grow to the size of carry-on luggage? 

What do you think the spring/summer 2015 runways will bring? Will we see bright colors and pastels again; as shown for resort 2015? Or will designers move in another direction? Stay tuned and join me on Twitter, Instagram and/or Facebook to see what designers in new York envision for spring/summer 2015!
