In this Foto series, London-based photographer Anne-Marie Michel and team utilize an array of designers to show how expressive and vibrant multiple colors for Fall can be. Take the hint and revel in her interpretation of the season:

Tadashi Shoji New York Fashion Week Spring 2016

Tadashi Shoji says he’s getting old and that’s the inspiration for his collection. Someone should have told him that being old and creating a youthful collection seems somewhat the opposite of what happens when you do get old. No matter, Shoji for Spring 2016 went heavy on floral patterns and embroidery to great effect and ended up with a collection that shows a versatility in gown design but also a nod to the love of sheer fabrics. The sheer fabrics have been everywhere during awards season and with the celebrities that have loved Shoji’s creativity in that regard. Shoji though has been strategic for Spring 2016, hiding the feminine form and showing just enough. Maybe that’s what he meant by being older. So when you have highlights that include a maxi skirt with sheer diamond design in a teal/white, a kimono style sheer floral embroidered coverup, a floral embroidered dress with short sleeves where the black prints extend past the hem of the dress, you know Shoji is mining his past, but with a stern look of what’s to come. Keep getting old Mr. Shoji, we love what it is doing for your collections.

Rebecca Minkoff New York Fashion Week Spring 2016

The youthful Rebecca Minkoff audience is the envy of many a designer. That youthful audience never leaves you (or so you hope) and as they get older they continue on being the audience that has come to look to your new developments every season. For Spring 2016, Minkoff doesn’t abandon her roots as a designer that understands what her fans want. She espouses a love of mod with short hemlines and gladiator shoes and Lucite heels as well as maxi tank dresses. They all came in strong tones of black and ivory and cream. She also had extensive slits in her dresses that were tied in with lace hoops whether functional or purely for aesthetics, it worked to great effect. One would be mistaken to assume that the mod influence was 60s inspired. It may be that that’s the case, but the look is decidedly modern and refreshing especially done with the laced up slit. Just an FYI, that leather jumper is a favorite in the offices here, eliciting a bunch of oohs, when it came up on the big screen.

Misha Nonoo New York Fashion Week Spring 2016

What, no show? Oh Nonoo!! But wait, Misha Nonoo, may have just figured out what others in fashion are still figuring, social media means that viral collection shows best when you control the initial message. What was the initial message? I am doing it my way. Nonoo showed off this light but nearly gender neutral collection via social media and the word spread on and on. Shot with a bit of a horizontal effect, Nonoo displayed a-line skirts, coveralls and culottes with summer separates. There’s this parochial school pinafore with boxy pleating and sundresses that all felt as if Nonoo was sending a well-crafted message about the direction of Spring 2016. Is it a departure from her previous collections, sure, will it work? The social media darlings are saying she’s already there.

Public School New York Fashion Week Spring 2016

The design duo of Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne have been the talk of New York fashion week for plunging into the deep end of womenswear and performing swimmingly. The Fall 2016 collection was about showing how the mens and womenswear collection could live in the same place, with the same fabric and continue to thrive. In execution they seemed to perform that well. Spring 2016 in our opinion follows the same ethos but there’s still a bit of a split that’s evidenced by the execution. Highlights include a long flowing white suit with a plugin v-neckline, a belted deep blue double breasted trench, a short tennis skirt in deep blue with white lining and undertones, a boxy white red and gray top and a sheer striped dress. The two have essentially created a collection that is sleek, feminine and what seems to be a slow and lingering departure from the staunchly male aesthetic that was seen in the previous collection. It may not have been their intent in previous collections but that definitely seems that direction at this snapshot in time.

Alexander Wang New York Fashion Week Spring 2016

There is a decidedly athletic look to Alexander Wang’s Spring 2016 collection and its definitely with purpose. The striped trousers in grey and black is a fashion lover’s dream due to its versatility.The striped jacket with same colors paired with belted shorts and a crop shirt is serious and New York urban chic as well. This is no Balenciaga folks, this is the eponymous brand that attaches no theme, no overarching statement, just Alexander Wang as he is. Another highlight was a white side slit dress with multi-fringed layering and netted bra underneath. All of these pieces were paired with variations of designer athletic footwear or sandals that espoused an ease uncommon in these high end forays. It could be that Wang’s direction post-Balenciaga is to just be free and in doing so, he’s being himself. 10 years later, keeping the party going is a powerfully sexy collection.

Mara Hoffman New York Fashion Week Spring 2016

If you don’t understand how much of a consummate designer Mara Hoffman is and the versatility she has then you didn’t attend her Swim showing in Miami at the Versace mansion and the two months later see her Spring 2016 collection. The two collections couldn’t be more diametrically opposed. The swim show was sexy, revealing and honestly refreshing compared to others. The Spring 2016 ready to wear Mara Hoffman collection is less sexy and more natural. It is more feminine and softer though there’s been this boyish influence in the past. That is not equating the two as in collusion but complementary. Her blue skies, cloud print suits were a nod to Willie Nelson (playing the background), the shirtdress effort was sexy and the layering provided just enough detail and led to pants that were wide legged and apropos of the entire look. Her Spring 2016 direction is off from her swim collection and that’s what you want to see in a designer, a versatility that speaks to ability and creativity.
