Since Covid-19 has totally wiped out New York Fashion Week and every other live event, DailyBOOM has been looking back at some of our best coverage. Remember when Zoe, our all-time favorite intern went to NYFW for BOOM and found herself a job with a former Vogue editor?

The first designer of the night proved wedding dresses don't have to be traditional or dull. Instead, wedding fashion should embrace sequins, mesh, and embroidery. Luckily, this collection satisfies all three statutes of modern wedding fashion. The opening ensemble featured a classic ballgown silhouette with a rhinestone encrusted skirt and feather bodice. This collection increasingly gets better among every outfit,
specifically within the off the shoulder embroidered
white dress that was showcased in the middle of the show. Another
highlight from this collection is a long sleeve mesh dress with a
plunging neckline, central thigh high slit, and rhinestone encrusted
embroidery along the middle of the dress.
I don't know about you, but
now I have a sudden urge to get married. I should probably find a
husband first.
Between
the naturalistic element of the deer antler flower crowns, the dreamy
silhouettes in pastel variants, and an overall enchanted romance
theme, this collection felt like it came right out of a Shins album.
Although the designer tinkered with A-line, cocktail, and mermaid
dresses in millennial pink and sea foam green that kept the
collection cohesive, each dress had its own element of glam, which
demonstrated the designer's sheer versatility and talent.
Overall,
I'm obsessed with this collection. The faded colors and romantic
structures create dresses that exude hints of tranquility and
elegance, perfect for anyone who wants to feel enchanted for a night.
Oh,
where do I even start with Mister Triple X?? Maybe I should describe
the electric switch in the audience when the first model revealed
this show wasn't going to be evening wear. A combination of
fast-paced, fist-pumping, electronic music blasted through the venues
speakers as each model strutted down the runway with an energy so
vibrant it was hard to forget you were at a fashion show and not an
EDM concert.
This swimwear collection had a little bit of everything,
which I appreciated. Men swimming trunks seemed to fall at the
standard medium length, and featured variants of the different forest
patterns showcased across the entire collection.
As for women bathing
suits, one pieces either had intricate back straps, or were paired
with a matching chiffon cover-up that was left open to display the
bathing suit.
Bikini tops seemed to come in either a high-neck design
or standard sports bra-esque silhouette, each paired with a cheeky
thick-banded pair of bottoms. One of my favorite patterns from the
collection has black and white stripes with what appears to be
skulls, feathers, and clouds sporadically decorated. While Mister
Triple X is super edgy and fun, his collection demonstrates his value
of refined technique and cohesiveness, which many designers struggle
with. Needless to say, I know where I'm buying my bathing suits for
next summer.
The
next show displayed another attempt at romantic enchanted evening
wear. While it was evident each piece in the collection was made with
precision and exclusive focus on detail, the collection as a whole
entity seemed to lack flow.
This is shown throughout the drastic switches from skin-tight mesh dresses with plunging necklines,
ruffled sleeves, vibrant flower embroidery, and hip-high slits to
illuminating rhinestone encrusted dresses with A-line silhouettes and
matching capes to enhance the powerful design, and even a classic
ballgown style wedding dress at the end. At the end of the day, this
designer's clothes seemed to fall in line with this seasons trends of
glitter, floral embroidery, mesh, and an overall enchanted feel, but
I would've appreciated true cohesiveness within the collection.
When
the opening model is a man wearing a Walt Disney canvas blanket on
the front, and a United States Army blanket on the back, you know the
show is going to be an eclectic gem. The beginning outfits looked
like paper collages that aged and came to life. Although each outfit
had a different message, the overall theme seemed to be peace, which
reflects how fashion is easily influenced by political and social
elements within a society.
In the middle of the show, there was a
switch from collage rugged outfits to cleaner evening wear options.
This designer played right into this season's trends, so much so if
you dropped a few of his outfits into the previous designer's runway,
it would be extremely hard to identify those designs were created by
a different designer.
As
the closing designer, Fernando Alberto Atelier effortlessly showed
all of this season's trends can easily be integrated in one
collection.
Flowing chiffon pieces decorated with nature's chicest and
most eye-catching patterns create perfectly romantic and groovy
outfits that should be worn everywhere. Fernando Alberto Atelier's
designs emulate a sort of sophistication and modernness in the
easiest way possible.
My favorite design from this collection is a
flowy blue-based dress with a plunging gold encrusted neckline,
middle thigh split, powerfully long train, and a tropical pattern
similar to the colors found on an exotic bird. If I ever wore
something from this collection, I feel like I would deserve to be
whisked away on a millennial cruise with Glass Animals playing in the
background. And that's one of the best feelings ever.
