Marc Jacobs FALL 2018 READY-TO-WEAR
New York Fashion Week shocked the world as designers showcased their newest collections. Colored capes and coats followed by a diverse cast brought the heat for this runway season. Haute Couture American Designer Marc Jacobs used vibrant colors, oversized double breasted blazers, and large hats to reconnect with 1980’s. Alexander Wang’s show was titled “Boss Lady” as he highlighted women in the workforce. Within the past year women have been demanding equal rights and respect in the workplace and these brilliant designers created a movement as they identified the strength women have by creating collections focused on business attire.

One particular trend this runway season was using plus size and racially diverse models. Runway has always been a place for type A, but this year types B, C, and D were ready to go and rock fashion as they took their walk. Michael Kors and Eckhaus Latta moved away from the stereotype model and made the runway a place for everybody. Vaquera a brand founded in 2013, due to the lack of diversity in the fashion place, used anything from unisex clothing to models with their own distinct background. A new expectation of what and who should be on the runway was established.
