Collection: Sophie Theallet S/S 2016 – NYFW

Designer: Sophie Theallet

Models Who Walked the Show: Veronica Webb, Lula Kenfe, Mari Agory, Leomie Anderson and Sessilee Lopez

On The Runway: It was a “dream of Africa,” as Theallet references her collection. There were textures of burlap, lace and a heck of a lot of snakeskin. This collection is literally my favorite right now from the S/S16 season. Theallet doesn’t miss a beat. From head to toe, from stitching to the hem line is just perfection. The color palette is divine and the styling is superb. Forever in love with Theallet.

Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Thom Browne

Collection: Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Thom Browne

Designer: Thom Browne

Models Who Walked the Show: Adau Mornyang, Lula Kenfe, Milan Dixon and Shamone Edwards.

On The Runway: Soooo. This collection was over the top, kooky and eccentric but in a strange way you just have to love it. To be able to put all these extremes together from the makeup to the two braids sticking straight in the air and yet still have the clothes do the talking is a true art-form. I could really see many people flocking to grab these pieces off the runway, you may dial it down a bit but the core designs are really solid in craftsmanship.

Tanya Taylor S/S 2016 – NYFW

Designer: Tanya Taylor S/S 2016 – NYFW

Models Who Walked the Show: Selena Johnson, Mauza Antonio, Shamone Edwards, Lula Kenfe and Emely montero

On The Runway: Afrocentric 70s vibe looks like it will be going strong till next summer. Tanya though put an extra feminine darling flare to it which makes it palatable to wear on a day to day basis while not looking like you are wearing a costume.

Cadet spring 2016 NYFW featured black models Mauza Antonio, Olivia Anakwe and Lula Kenfe. Earth tone colors was the signature for Cadet s/s16 collection. The models almost look ready for a safari in the outback. With the green buttoned down dress, or with the scarf tied around the neck, is perfect for when the dust starts kicking up. All and all a very clean collection with a clear point of view.
