New York Fashion Week 2018: What's Happened So Far

Salma Hayek, Julianne Moore, Priyanka Chopra, Marisa Tomei and Dylan Penn were all front row for Bottega Veneta’s big New York runway debut. Taking over the American Stock Exchange to showcase its AW18 collection at NYFW, the Italian brand also welcomed a star studded crowd.

On the runway Gigi Hadid dramatically closed the show in a silky velvet black gown, as she was joined on the BV runway by fellow A-listers Adwoa Aboa and Irina Shayk. The collection was inspired by the chic slickness of New York, as Bottega Veneta reflected the opening of its New York flagship store at 740 Madison Ave, with clothes adorned in jewel tones and luxe textures.

The half-Palestinian sisters impressed once more on the runway for Prabal Gurung at NYFW, with Gigi Hadid opening and Bella Hadid closing the show which celebrated women. The modelling sisters were joined by Ashley Graham as they wore vibrant and bold pieces for Prabal Gurung’s AW18 collection which was inspired by powerful women who led the Mosuo tribe of China.

Philipp Plein’s Autumn/Winter 2018 collection at NYFW saw models walk alongside robots on the runway, but we were still drawn to Halima Aden’s walk! The hijab wearing model made her fashion week debut last year for Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 5 show, as this year she wowed again for Philip Plein in a sheer rain coat with an embellished teddy backpack.

Kaia Gerber, the 16-year-old daughter of Cindy Crawford modelled the ultimate smoky eyes for Tom Ford’s show, vibrant blue for Bottega Veneta and stole the show in high-fashion workwear by Alexander Wang at NYFW 2018. There’s no stopping the rising teenage superstar who is following in her mother’s footsteps.

Karlie Kloss may have wowed in all black for the Brandon Maxwell runway AW18 show at New York Fashion Week, but it was her New York street style Instagram shot which caught our attention. Stopping traffic, the model protected herself from the rain with a fur leopard print jacket, as we loved her silver-grey pointed heels and metallic trousers combo!

The Bahrain-based label by designers Shaikha Noor Al Khalifa and Shaikha Haya Al Khalifa, showcased a collection inspired by Bahrain’s starry night sky for New York Fashion Week 2018. The collection was feminine with draped chiffon dresses, flowing sleeves and touches of elegant gold, as the Arabic script in this piece read “to the moon and back.” This contrasted with the structured silhouettes and heavy coats.

After her first appearance at NYFW a decade ago, Victoria Beckham’s family watched on as she showcased her last New York show. Victoria Beckham’s fashion success continued throughout her last NYFW show with sculptural dresses in felted wool, narrow torsos and full-length back zips. Victoria Beckham will celebrate her 10th anniversary at home, as she’s moving to London Fashion Week.
