Deets: Nolcha Fashion Week, New York just wrapped its Fall/Winter 2015 season featuring 8 designer runway shows.
The day kicked off with Nolcha's "Ones To Watch" show which highlighted four trend-setting designers. Yvette Hass is an emerging Swedish designer who has been featured in Elle Denmark as a "Scandinavian Designer to Watch", and dressed celebrity Jessica Pimentel (Orange is The New Black) for the show. Charles & Ron are an award-winning Maltese design duo who presented womenswear and leather bags, and featured Russell Simmons' girlfriend Hana Nitsche walking in their show. Mitsou Ly showed her collection of women's separates, which mix feminine style with an edgy flair, and her line is proudly manufactured in the USA. Haute Athletics is an NYC-based athletic wear company that featured real athletes walking in the show in lieu of traditional models including 2x Olympic Hockey Goalie, Brianne McLaughlin.
The 6:30pm runway show featured Portuguese ready-to-wear designer Katty Xiomara who has dressed trend-setting celebs like Zendaya and Kat Graham. Here, she previewed her "RE-evolution" collection, a line that claims the right to be female, designed for women who are confident in themselves and their style choices. Christina Milian sat front row with her best friend and sister in tow, who co-star in her new E! TV series "Christina Milian Turned Up" (her sister, Elizabeth Flores, wore an exclusive Katty Xiomara design).
The evening collective show featured three designers. Prieston, an established Hungarian designer who has been covered in Cosmo, Marie Claire, InStyle and Glamour in her home country, kicked off the show (with Tiffany Bias of the WNBA wearing her collection). Already a staple in Budapest, she debuted at London Fashion Week in September, and now New York Fashion Week this season. Ann Himsel in an NYC-based designer and this was her debut collection which was completely inspired by menswear (in colors, style, fabrics, silhouettes), but tailored to fit women. Ann Himsel's show featured men's boots by Cat Footwear. Finally, Danny Nyugen Couture finished the evening with show-stopping embellished evening gowns.
