Living in Paris has its advantages (namely croissants, wine, and cheese), but I always miss being in New York for Fashion Week. While London tends to foster its young talent more effectively and Paris has the very obvious benefit of couture influences, New York’s penchant for truly innovative ready to wear has a place in my heart. So in honor of this beautiful Monday morning, let’s sum up some of the best collections from NYFW so far...
Alexander Wang

God knows I love a good jacket, and Alexander Wang made a whole lot of them. Sleek, high shine fabrics in unexpected shapes were an exciting alternative from usually bland fall winter outerwear options. And to make me even happier, he added a sick, soon-to be-ubiquitous, knee high boot. I prefer this thoughtful reinterpretation of classic pieces to last season’s athletic leaning collection.

Prabal made the ultimate cool girl pant this season. Prabal’s skinny flares are going to be everywhere next winter. Topshop should start working on the knockoff now (and a denim version too), because this shit’s about to become the drainpipe alternative.
Altuzarra

Altuzarra’s printed pants are a winter-fied version of spring’s most unavoidable trend. (Have you seen the pre-spring collection at Zara? Flowers. EVERYWHERE.) But they have a well-traveled sensibility about them. Paired with some serious over-the-knee boots (reminiscent of Gucci Fall/Winter 2008, no?) they make an unexpected impact.
Timo Weiland

If there’s one trend I’m always hoping will make its return, its Grunge. I fell in love with it in the 90s when Marc Jacobs did it at Perry Ellis and I’m ecstatic every time the fashion cycle brings it back around. Timo Weiland made grunge for the moody fashion girls, and I fucking love it.
