The fw25 edition of NYFW welcomed the Calvin Klein Collection, designed by Veronica Leoni, back to the fold. In fact the whole week turned into a celebration of the great tradition of American sportswear, with its clean lines and luxurious fabrics. Designers went for plenty of texture and surface interest to keep ‘classics with a twist’ fresh and updated.
As reported by Fashion United last year, garments with sequins and shiny surfaces are no longer confined to eveningwear. New York designers showed a variety of looks for fw 25 that were either head-to-toe shine or in combination with other textures and styles, suitable for both day and night ensembles. Here are ten examples from the runway.
Look 17: a shiny silver mock turtle neck was shown under a sheer purple vest embellished with satin rosettes and a skirt with a bubble hem covered in blue and turquoise sequins.
Look 4: a blue metallic leather skirt with front vent over white leggings and a one-shoulder black tee shirt with green rosettes. Oversized pearls, a pink satchel and purple slippers accessorized the look.
Look 19: a knee-length skirt with large silver paillettes was shown with a burgundy turtleneck sweater with fringing. Fishnet hose and black pumps finished the look.
Look 18: a shiny silver mock turtle neck short sleeved tunic with asymmetric seams was shown with baggy satin pants in a lighter shade of the same color.
Look 29: a top in a sheer fabric with vertical burgundy threads and a glitter surface had a burgundy knit rib at the neck and sleeves with a matching mid-length skirt
Look 3: a hooded jacket in pewter silver crinkle fabric over a matching mini dress with a bubble hem and silver underskirt. Accessories included lacey socks and double strap Mary Janes.
