One of my favorite shows from this year's New York
Fashion Week was the rag & bone Spring and Summer 2016 line. Rag & bone
is actually one of my favorite high end stores. Their clothes always have that
simple yet chic look about them that I find myself loving and coming back to
time and time again. That being said, the Spring and Summer 2016 line was incredible.
You can watch the full recorded live stream of the show here, but incase you’re
in a place where watching a fashion show may not be completely acceptable, I’ll
explain a bit for you.
So as with any fashion show the atmosphere and environment in which
you’re presenting the line is nearly as important as the line itself. R&b opted for a simple black backdrop, which I loved. I felt like this really made
the clothes the center focus of the show and it also complimented the color
scheme beautifully.
The model’s make up and hair were kept really natural. The makeup
looking glowing and dewy and the hair straightened in a piecey, messy, natural up-do.
The line stuck to most of the trends that
all shows were following for 2016. Those trends being crochet or hand-knitted
looking pieces, print blocking, and bare shoulders (personally my favorite from fashion week). Another trend that they played with was face
accessories. Rag & bone wasn’t going over the top like Givenchy or Dion Lee
with statement-making center pieces on the model’s face, but each model did adorn
large hoop earrings which brought the center focus to their face in a more natural way.
Other themes that were in the collection were A-line skirts
and dresses, bomber jackets, and mixing and matching different fabrics.
The color scheme had a lot of monochrome colors (probably
why I loved it so much) but color popping was also played around with. I love
color popping, especially in the spring, so this line was literally right up my
ally.
All in all, this line was probably one of my favorites that was shown last week. Rag & bone didn’t disappoint and they’ve made me fall more in love with them as designers and a brand. Make sure you check out the full line and show here if you’re interested! Also below are a few was I took the trends that were in the line and styled them for everyday street style.
