Fashion Week Part I: New York

As our first runway show in Charlotte Fashion Week approaches, we can hardly contain our excitement. As if the anticipation for our fkvintage collection wasn't enough, this week launched the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NYC. Awe inspiring looks that never go out of style, it's what we're here for...

Herve Leger:

A house synonymous with body con, just hearing the name alone makes you hold your breath and suck it in. This season was slightly different, zippers were used to control silhouettes- zip up for a fitted skirt, zip down for more flare, and large leather belts cinched the waists to dresses with more relaxed fit than what they are typically know for.

Billy Reid:

Light tweed and linens have never looked so good. The woodsy color pallet lends way to the designer's meshing of Cali boy with southern charm. His mix of boxy jackets and long coats with pinstriped shorts, tunic tops, drawstring pants are casual yet still put together.

Mara Hoffman:

Bright and bold patterns work here like never before. "This collection is about straight-up happiness" said Hoffman, and what's happier than a rainbow? Third eye motifs, serpent patterns, and embellished sheer fabrics play well together, and make Hoffman one of our favorites. 

Jonathan Simkhai:

This collection was inspired by the 1964, Battle of Brighton Beach between the British subcultures, the mods and rockers. "I was imagining beach chairs strewn around, which is where the intersecting lines came from," Simkhai explained. This translated to stripes of all shapes and directions on skirts, sweaters, crop tops and more.

These are just a few of our favorites that have us excited for an extended fashion week. It's not too late to buy tickets for Charlotte. Join us this Friday 9/13 at the Hilton Charlotte Center City to see a glimpse of our spring 2014 collection. Follow @fkvintage on Instagram for coverage behind the scenes and on the runway!
