The American holiday Labor Day in early September marks the end of the summer season and can bring a sense of melancholy for many New Yorkers. For others, however, it marks the beginning of a month-long foray into the future of fashion. Nowhere is that excitement more palpable than on the streets, outside of the various fashion shows and presentations.
Fashion editors, buyers, influencers, celebrities and other fashionistas showed off their style know-how at New York Fashion Week for SS25 and here are some of the trend highlights.
Jean genies
Founded in 2014, Area has since acquired cult status. More than one attendee wore jeans with heart-shaped cutouts from the label’s pre-fall 24 collection. The duo’s blue high-rise jeans with crystal-embellished cutouts were also on display. Another cult label, Bershka, was founded in 1998 as part of Spanish mega-brand Inditex. One attendee wore their baggy jeans with printed bow embellishments over a black cropped top and blazer.
Get shorty
From chic to sporty, there was a variety of oversized shorts on display. This included pleated shorts with an off-the-shoulder knit top and chic accessories; brown denim shorts with a brown leather biker jacket; brown faux pressed leather shorts under a long striped shirt and cream denim shorts paired with an oversized sweat jacket and a white tank top.
Preppie on top
With veteran designers Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger both enjoying something of a renaissance, attendees showed off innovative ways to wear preppy cricket jerseys, baseball jackets and striped shirts, often swapping trousers for socks or bare legs.
Highs and lows
There’s something infinitely stylish about an asymmetric design. One attendee wore a pair of blue jeans from the Coperni Resort 25 collection that had been transformed into an asymmetric skirt and worn over a checked blazer. Another wore Tibi’s camel-hair knit cape over a matching sweater and baggy shorts. An asymmetric silk-blend top was paired with black trousers, and a black jersey knit dress with an asymmetric hem was worn off the shoulder on one side.
Bubble up
The interest in fashion from the 80s, 90s and 00s continues, with micro-short lengths and balloon skirts. Fittingly, Susie Lau, aka ‘Susie Bubble’, stepped out in one such look; an orange taffeta dress by Molly Goddard. Another attendee looked impeccable in a short purple dress with mille feuille layers from the Alaïa FW 24 collection. On her way to the Tory Burch show, Paige Lorenze was photographed in a stone windbreaker over a micro mini with a balloon skirt. A fashionista who went to the same show wore an ensemble from the designer’s SS24 collection.
Jumbled up
Several attendees employed the collage tactic, combining a variety of shapes and textures. In one case, that meant layering a striped, baggy sweatshirt over a two-piece skirt, accessorizing with slouchy purple suede boots, a bandana headscarf, and a brown suede shoulder bag with a blue feather boa. A pink plaid skirt with a slit trimmed with a ruffle was worn with a white and pink T-shirt and floral Ugg boots. As seen in Brooklyn, one showgoer wore three layers of mesh and lace over a pink taffeta skirt and carried a plaid crossbody bag. Meanwhile, Susie Lau was spotted in pink sheer and lace layers by Simone Rocha.
