The first week of September marked the beginning of New York’s Mercedes Benz Fashion week. Celebrities, reporters and designers joined in celebration of the best looks. Women are often skeptical of high fashions on the runway. A common misconception young women have is that they could never wear the styles presented on the runway. Maybe they feel that the outfits are too exocentric.
I believe that if you truly look at the base of the outfit or style you will recognize trends that you are already fashioning today! The color olive was prominent in last week’s fashion week. My first week back at UConn I saw several pairs of olive pants, shoes and even several olive bags. Although high fashion can be extremely loud and over the top, we can absolutely incorporate pieces into our collegiette style!
Another trend I recognized that has already reached UConn’s fashionistas was peplum tops. Designers such as Dona Karen and Prabal Gurung incorporated pieces into their line that closely resembled the style of a peplum fitted top. Getting ideas from New York’s fashion week and putting a collegiette flare on it is the best way to stay in style!
