Brides may almost always wear white, but for Israeli bridal couture designer, Helena Kolan, that’s where the similarity between those saying “I do” ends. Timeless, elegant, and romantic, the thread that weaves Kolan’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection together is that it is simultaneously universal and individual.

#NYFW: FIX and FAX by Katya Leonovich Fall/Winter 2020 Collection
As Katya Leonovich’s menswear line reaches it’s (not so) terrible twos for its second season collection, it’s clear she is hitting her stride. She is no stranger to the runway, having shown womenswear collections in Paris, and won Designer of the Year in Russia, and her launch into menswear last season leaped off the starting blocks. With this second season, it looks like she plans to continue riding that momentum into the fall, and beyond.
#NYFW: Carlos Campos Spring/Summer 2020 Collection
The Carlos Campos Spring/Summer 2020 collection uses bold colors, the same way a grammarian uses periods, to punctuate a thought. The designer takes fun and breezy attitude by adding pops of cyan, sapphire and midnight navy to his signature palette of blue, white and tan.
The Missoni Man SS 2020 collection is a harmony of fluid tensions; channeling the poetic irreverence and inherent nonchalance that defined the iconic style of Serge Gainsbourg. Informally formal, spontaneous and unconventional, Gainsbourg’s sartorial attire unveiled a personal realm of artistic freedom and travel that came to represent the quintessence of French insouciance and elan. His chic and effortless manner expressed an alternative cool with hints of exotic bohemianism and inspired this season’s collection of relaxed, softly tailored garments that epitomize Missoni’s take on contemporary sport-lux.
#NYFW: Michael Costello Spring/Summer 2019 Collection
Michael Costello’s “Gitana” – Spring/Summer 2019 collection is dramatic with pieces that steal the show whether you’re on the red carpet or Ibiza. Inspired by gypsy culture, the designer pays homage to bohemia independence and women who seek their own path.
The Grungy Gentleman show celebrated New York City, and the fusion of contemporary culture and style, in sports, music, and entertainment, with Bronx-native hip-hop icon Jim Jones from Dipset opening the show, followed by Michael Beasley (NY Knicks), Tye Smith (Tennessee Titans) and Isaiah Pead, former NFL player who lost his leg in a car accident in 2016, who closed the show as guests cheered him on down the runway.
