Bridging the gap between work and play, strong tailored
statements were a repeated sighting on the NYC runways for
Spring/Summer 2019. The classic wardrobe assortment offered
revisited prints, styles and unconventional colours, but what
stood out the most were modified pattern details.
Deconstructed and reimagined silhouettes were a part of the
tailored offerings with altered design details such as hip cut-
outs, jackets with wrap waist extensions, hybrids of the skirtsuit
and pantsuits, wide waist cinchers, asymmetrical fronts and the
best of the Spring edit – the short suits that paired with formal
shorts and bikini tops with power-suits and straight-cut blazers.

A pop of colour is a feat very commonly predicted for Spring
2019, but the trend was upheld to its maximum flare at NYFW,
as each piece of the ensemble from the clothes to bags and
accessories like woven bucket bags and head bandanas were
coordinated to perfection in the same tone.
Designers carefully curated the outfits to either create the result
– a pantone leaf of the same colour palette or give the same
prints and textures throughout, by going against the ongoing
trend of colour-blocking and contrasts. The candy sorbet colour
palette was a regular occurrence, placed gracefully over PVC
jackets, ruffled dresses and flouncy gowns in tulle and feathers.
Versatility was kept alive by pairing different fabrics of
varying textures such as faux leather, knits, etc., all dipped
in the same hues.
