The Best New York Fashion Week S/S '22 Collections You Need To See Now!
Bask in all of NYFW's glorious return!
Guess what's back back again? New York Fashion Week made its cautious return last week and we're going full throttle to give you the only recap you'll ever need. Runway shows opened once again and the magic of the shows came to life!
Dreams of escape and visions of renewal travelled across many mood boards this season. Altuzarra and Rodarte declared their presence in NYFW with pieces that connect with nature and radiate spiritual glitz. From hand-rendered prints on silk dresses to forward-looking florals, both designers fell nothing short of spring and summertime favorites that were done in a refreshing way. Over at Manhattan, no one was completely sure if Peter Do could handle the pressure of having one of the most anticipated shows this season but he totally rose to the occasion! The Vietnamese-born designer gave what the crowd asked for and more with a collection filled with stories of his Asian-American heritage and his signature four-piece suits. Speaking of heritage, Christian Siriano also referenced his roots with a powerful punch of '30s silhouettes, voluminous looks, and his take on two-piece dressing.
Just as much as we loved seeing ensembles that comforted our soul, we're also glad to say that sex appeal is back thanks to Tom Ford. Think neon sequined racer back tops, chic basketball shorts, lamé tailoring, and more! In an interview with Vogue, Ford even said that "My clothes this season are simple in cut but not in impact." To be frank, anyone who will see his runway presentation will have to struggle to disagree. It’s time to hang up our loungewear and athleisure pieces from our great pause in exchange for looks that will inevitably spice up our post-pandemic lives.
Check out the gallery down below to see the aforementioned collections above and more!

Altuzarra
What happens when you merge everyday pieces with magical and hand-rendered touches? Altuzarra brings a slew of customer-favorites to life in their S/S 2022 collection. The clothes on the runway jogged our memory and brought back our love for sparkling and printed pieces that are full of life. Joseph Altuzarra's response to the idea of finding magic and wonder and myth in nature was in full effect this season!

Carolina Herrera
In celebration of the House's 40th anniversary, Wes Gordon made a showcase of Carolina Herrera’s trademark sense of occasion. Cut-outs, tulle, and puffed dresses graced the runway in a very Lady Herrera way. It was only fitting to see the brand's signature colors in the runway for this celebratory collection. It won't be long until we see these ensembles on the likes of Heart Evangelista, Karlie Kloss, and Dove Cameron.

Christian Siriano
Christian Siriano takes pride in his work and this includes dressing up stars and powerful women in head-turning ensembles. Silhouettes from the ‘30s reigned supreme in his S/S 2022 collection along with the colors orange, green, and white. The designer took his time to look at his pivotal life and career moments when creating this collection. From the first look down to the last, Siriano honored his Italian grandmother, this season’s muse!

Jason Wu
Collaboration matters to Jason Wu and his collection reflected that this season. Wu reached out to Cara Marie Piazza, a fabric artist who uses natural dyes to develop prints and color with a bundling technique. The hand-rendered details on each dress were individual and intimate results of this collaboration! Formal but still relaxed isn’t an easy combination to achieve but for Wu, he did this exceptionally well.

Moschino
Jeremy Scott let his inner child and his Fran Drescher-stan self run free in his S/S 2022 collection for Moschino. “It’s very ladies who lunch, but it’s also nursery rhymes, so it’s baby lady,” says Scott in an interview with Vogue. Inspired by ‘The Nanny’, iconic little suits, child-like prints, and cheerful colors were put into play by Scott and the models in the runway. What a fun way to celebrate the come back of NYFW!

Peter Do
Here’s how to make a NYFW debut! Peter Do electrified Manhattan with suits worth living for. His debut meant a lot for the Asian-American community in New York especially for the fashion hopefuls who watched the show physically and virtually. His iconic four-piece suits were glorious! Each attendee even received a heartfelt handwritten press release that told his growth story along with the moments he spent with his father who was the main inspiration of this collection. We’re not crying, you are!

Proenza Schouler
The island vibe rubbed off at the S/S 2022 collection of Proenza Schouler. Gorgeous acid-colored dresses made of fine gauze jersey, sport-influenced sandals, and playful loafers reflected this season’s way of inviting women to get grooving post-pandemic. Cheeky silhouettes with a dash of comfortability is still at the core of Proenza Schouler and we’re absolutely here for it.

Rodarte
Rodarte signaled the proper re-emergence of florals this season with pieces that are soft to touch. The collection overflowed with spiritual glitz as pieces oozed with luxury and femininity. Kate and Laura Mulleavy expressed that through this season’s pieces, the Rodarte woman who was once a wallflower is now in the height of her natural power. If having power looks as good as this, we respectfully want to have it all please!

Tom Ford
Tom Ford is bringing sexy back and we’re so willing to bask in all of it’s glory. The clothes stormed the runway like it was part of a revolution against the pared down clothes we’ve been seeing all year round. Lamé tailoring and sequined ensembles brought our senses back! Ford even mentioned in an interview with Vogue that “I know it’s a lot but is it enough?” There’s no room for ifs and buts, this is sex appeal staring right at your face.

Tory Burch
In line with the 2021 Met Gala theme, Tory Burch made an effort to coincide with the times with a collection that puts focus on American post-war motifs that meant having to make do with less and prioritizing practicality above everything else. Striped cotton dresses, stretch mock necks, and hook-and-eye corsets in warm earthy hues were in full display. Although comfort and practicality was integral in creating this collection, the designer made sure to incorporate everyday glamour to cater to the Tory Burch woman.
