Oscar de la Renta Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection designed by Peter Copping was shown September 15,2015 in New York Fashion Week.
Maison Oscar de la Renta unveiled its second collection since the death of its founder with another beautiful display of hispanish-inspired elegance by british creative director Peter Copping.
It was a masterclass in timeless, classical elegance with suits, breathtaking ball gowns, cocktail dresses, skirts and blouses crafted into a long, slender silhouette suitable for women young and old alike. The designer paid homage to the house’s late founder with a runway show which explored hispanic style.
Copping made plentiful use of ruffles and lace. There were bold floral prints. Colors were crimson, black, white, green and splashes of orange and powerful red. Copping kept with De La Renta’s tradition of embroidery and luxe textiles while adding lingerie details for a more sensual touch. Tying into the Latin influence, the espadrille shoe made an appearance on the runway, updated with crystal and lace work.

It’s been a big week forZac Posen, first camehis Diffusion line presentation, after tahn debut collection for Brooks Brothers ans now,his signature  collection.
“Lightness defines the collection,” said designer in the program notes for his spring/summer 2016 show.
 Over the years he has extensively proved his love for event dressing. .
But Zac Posen seems to soften in his new collection by working precisely on many basic tones – navy, white, black – for his outfits which he makes timeless. A suit falls to perfection, a dress playing with transparency effects, a long gown following the undulations of the body. It exudes a new purity, perfectly coinciding with the desire for lightness during the summer.

3.1 Phillip Lim Spring/Summer 2016 collection – * Stop and smell the flowers* – New York Fashion Week

| Syuzena Pitz
3.1 Phillip Lim  Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection, namedn *Stop and smell the Flowers* was shown in NYFW, September 14,2015.
September 14,2015  Phillip Lim celebrated his brand’s tenth anniversary but  it was not particularly celebratory and not a retrospective either. Lim decided to look forward and who can blame him when the future is looking good? With 3.1 Phillip Lim stores around the world and a reliable accessories line Lim and his co-founder Wen Zhou are taking a moment to stop and smell the flowers. That’s what they named this collection. Did the mounds of earth that made up the set symbolise staying down to earth or breaking new ground? They were an installation by the artist and environmentalist Maya Lin – so naturally, following the show the soil will be repurposed back into community gardens in the City.
 Lim choosed the  forest green, blue and sandy beige colours. The asymmetrical construction of many of the pieces spoke to the idea that in the natural world nothing grows in a straight line and everything is beautiful in its own way.

The only flowers that bloomed on Lim’s runway catwalk were those that flourished on printed fabrics or were embroidered onto garments. It’s true there was an organic richness to the designer’s chosen color palette of forest greens, blues and sandy beige. And the asymmetrical construction of many of the pieces spoke to the idea that in the natural world nothing grows in a straight line and everything is beautiful in its own way.
