SS15 NYFW Trend: White and cropped

                                                                By Deborah Ferguson

   The ever so needed "all white" trend for Spring /Summer collections was presented by some of New York's best designers in unexpected silhouettes.  Alexander Wang, ParkchoonMoo and Prabal Gurung had the strongest and yet most wearable all white ensembles. I sometimes imagine; does a buyer for a large retail chain in the USA, Asia or Europe ever consider  an all white ensemble as an important trend to buy?  I believe if you live a life of leisure; yes.

     Speaking as Manhattan woman running around to meetings and shoots? Maybe not. As a red carpet option for a younger ingenue yes. My favorite silhouettes are modern with a slight retro touch (Prabal Gurung, Osklen, ParkchoonMoo).

   The bomber jacket paired with a mini is ideal for a day to night chic look.  Shorts and the larger cut blouses and jackets works for those in the leisure /selfie zone and last but not least the utilitarian version; interpreted best by Marc by Marc Jacobs; is the most covetable as you can dress it up or down and look effortless
