Edgy Feminine Energy
Designer Vera Wang brought a strong, bold aesthetic to New York Fashion Week with her S/S 2016 Ready To Wear collection. The collection was a perfect mix of edgy femininity and confident minimalism, showcasing garments that were structured, daring, and impeccably tailored. The energy of the runway felt electric, with each look radiating a sense of power and sophistication.
Dark, Solid Tones
A standout feature of the collection was the use of dark solid colors, ranging from deep reds to classic blacks. These tones emphasized the sharp tailoring and sleek lines of the garments while creating a striking contrast against the models’ styling. The palette reinforced the edgy yet polished feel of the collection, allowing the bold cuts and silhouettes to take center stage.
Silhouettes and Styling
The silhouettes were fitted, angular, and confident, combining Vera Wang’s signature attention to detail with a modern, street-ready edge. Models were styled with crisp China bangs, tights, and platform heels, adding an almost uniformed precision to the looks while complementing the strong lines and dramatic shapes of the garments. Accessories were kept minimal to maintain focus on the striking color choices and architectural tailoring.
Runway Presentation
The runway presentation emphasized precision and attitude. Lighting highlighted the structure of each piece, accentuating the sharp cuts and fluid movements of the fabrics. Hair and makeup reinforced the overall theme of bold femininity, with China bangs framing the models’ faces and a polished finish creating cohesion across the collection.
