Fashion Week is the biggest event in the fashion world, presented after countless hours of effort put in by designers, ateliers, pr manager, producers, stylists, makeup artists, hair dressers, models, and more. It showcases brands' newest designs and their most up-to-date creative direction. I love watching these shows, whether I'm hyper focused on it or it's playing in the background. The different directions that each designer takes is so inspiring to see and I especially love seeing runways with innovative set designs and stage performances. By the time this goes up, there will have been tens of new runways, so instead of naming this "My 3 Favorite Shows", it's called what's written up there. You never know, maybe my favorite show is yet to be presented (you know, when this blog is written). Anyways, enjoy.

After their NYFW debut last year, the dreamy brand has come back dreamier than ever with their new Ready to Wear 2024 collection. The designer behind this feminine, whimsical brilliance is Marcelo Gaia, who, this season, brings wearable fantasy to fashion week. There are multiple inspirations behind this collection, with Sailor Moon, his mother, Audrey Hepburn's role in "Sabrina", and the 18th and early 19th century at its center. They also say that creating clothes that are accessible for various body shapes was a goal they had in mind for their collection, but it is still unknown if they will be increasing their sizes beyond the XXL size that they currently have.

In this year's NYFW Sandy Liang presented us an expanded version of her previous iconic details: blush pink pieces, bows, ballet flats, rosettes, satin, and ruffles. You know that if you see these details all together, you've got a Sandy Liang piece. Their playfully feminine pieces always brings me joy and I love their youthful look. They've also incorporated lots of capri pants this season, placed thoughtfully alongside garden details and colors.

Hillary Tamour depicted madness in the world by contrasting the softness of the show and the tightly held fists and forced smiles. The flowy and sheer fabrics, pastel colors, and feminine silhouette creates an emphasis on the phoniness of pretending everything is ok when it's not. At the end of the show, the models all come out and show their true selves by dancing and moving freely to the background music.
