Loving the Waist-Length French Braids at the Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Mara Hoffman runway show. This is such an easy look to achieve either with your own tresses or with Marley hair to add extra length. French braids look so classic and chic and better yet it’s a great protective hairstyle. So follow the instructions from these videos and take inspiration from Mara Hoffman’s show so that you too can have the look from the runway.

On The Runway: Diane von Furstenberg called her show Fortvna, after the Roman goddess of luck and the subject of the first painting Von Furstenberg ever bought. The verdict, we love it! Diane is on fire right now, her hit TV show is back on and her Spring/Summer 2016 collection shows why this woman is so successful. She understands woman, what we feel comfortable in and how to show off our best assets. Plus with the 40th anniversary of her iconic wrap dress we should all look to Diane since she knows about longevity, hard-work and perseverance.

Models Who Walked the Show: Aya Jones, Leila Nda, Amilna Estevão and Lineisy Montero
On The Runway: Love the Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Prabal Gurung collection. The models looked like beautiful cooper jeweled toned goddesses. There was a great flow to every piece.

The orange and yellow powder hues warmed up the runway with chiffon, cascading down taking your breath away.

Models Who Walked the Show: Amilna Estevão, Ysaunny Brito, Grace Bol andAamito Lagum
On The Runway: The Opening Ceremony S/S 2016 – NYFW collection looked like an art project gone right. It had a sort of collage feel to the clothes in where all the right pieces of fabric molded together to form a beautiful end result. There was a lot of black in this collection but it was offset with burnt orange, hues of cream and banana yellow.
Kimora Lee Simmons S/S 2016 – NYFW

Its simple and chic with just enough detail that makes you feel like an individual yet still confident in showing your famine side in the office.

Models Who Walked the Show: Aamito Lagum, Maria Borges, Leomie Anderson, Marihenny Rivera, Herieth Paul and Yasmin Warsame
On The Runway: Artisan flare with eccentric menswear touch. Stripes, trousers and very loose fitting silhouettes which made since because their muse was the pioneering Australian visual artist Fiona Hall. And another running theme we keep seeing on the runway is effortless hair pulled back into messy low bun or hair slicked down pushed off the face.

Tell me you didn’t smile when you saw the See by Chloé S/S 2016 collection at NYFW. This collection is so cheerful and gleeful that you can’t help yourself from liking all the pieces that are featured. From the 70s style dresses to the white textured blouse and the camel overcoat we are giddy for joy to try them on now.
