As a fashion model, you’ll be
expected to strut down runways while wearing killer heels. In New York Fashion Week. which ran from 7th to 14th September, we
learned that even the most professional of models have trouble with heels.
While appearing at the Michael Kors show, the gorgeous Bella Hadid, who was
rocking a sparkling ruffled black dress, tripped over her sky-high heels. But
like any professional, glamorous Bella got right back up again!
Season’s hottest colour
We discovered that yellow is
destined to be the season’s hottest colour. Every shade of yellow, from
zingy-lemon to mustard, appeared on the New York Spring/Summer 2017 runways.
Alexander Wang caused a real stir by opting for highlighter pen neon yellow
while Thakoon raised cheers with a more muted mustard tone, which looked really
fresh when paired with statement gold earrings.
New clothing trends
New York’s catwalks were littered
with hot clothing trends. With the latest September
fashion covers, we saw that cut-outs are set to be huge and this trend also
appeared at Fashion Week. Other clothing trends revealed included deconstructed
shirts, which wowed Carolina Herrara’s audience, ruffles and slip-one shoes.
Tibi’s black slip-on shoes, which had cigarette lighter-sized heels, were
amazing!
Cool beauty fads
We saw a ton of new beauty fads
which are destined to become trendy in Spring/Summer 2017. Grazia
writes that surfer-girl beach hair was a real hit at Alexander Wang’s show,
while designers such as Jason Wu confirmed that bright matte lips will be hot
next season. Other emerging beauty trends included pastel-wash eyeshadow,
neon-orange nails and snapchat filter-inspired beauty accessories.
Kanye’s public humiliation
Here at LUXE Models, we had a few
doubts when we found that rapper (and professional egoist) Kanye West was going
to debut his ‘Yeezy Season 4’ line in New York. The concert/performance piece
of a show was a hot mess, with some models even passing out, making headlines
around the world. Adding salt to the wound, celebrated fashion consultant Tim
Gunn later labelled the collection “a hoax.”
See you in London
And with that, we wave goodbye to
another New York Fashion Week and we’ll see you in London. With a number of
respected designers and brands, including Top Shop, Christopher Kane to
Burberry set to unveil their new collections at London
Fashion Week Spring/Sumer 2017, it’s sure to be epic!
