SS15 NYFW Trend: Black meets White

                                                                By Deborah Ferguson

 

    Trending black and white for Spring/Summer 2015 at NYFW wasn't a surprise or rather what was surprising was the unexpected versions a small number of RTW designers presented.  Graphic blocking of black & white as well a deep blue/black was most stand out as Cocktail dress silhouettes at the; Adeam, Calvin Kelin Collection, Sally LaPointe, and Del Pozo shows. These designers pushed for a modern, sleek , directional silhouette which places them on my covetable list.

   Two other versions were well interpreted: white top and black skirt by Peter Som, Cushnie et Ochs and Altuzarra; slightly modern and much more for the contemporary woman who needs a slightly classic option.

 The last notable interpretation was; soft slashes of black or white into semi fitted feminine long gowns by Alon Livne, Thakoon and J. Mendel. These gorgeous gowns are not only both red carpet friendly but offers one a sexier version of what can often be perceived as a hard edged trend.
