When I was younger, I craved to be at NYFW especially when the tents were located at Bryant Park. Once in college, I had the opportunity to dress models, clean the dressing room, and had the chance to see Reem Acraโs runway show.ย
Just people watching during NYFW is everything. You get to see all the celebrities, influencers, and A-listers in their best. You see how people either effortlessly express themselves in their fashion choices or look a hot mess. (Iโm watching but not judging) *Lips sealedย The most inspiring aspect is FINALLY seeing models and women that look like me in high-end fashion.ย
Here are my top 3 favorite fashion shows from NYFW Winter/Fall collection. I will talk about what stood out the most from each for show, and how to incorporate it with your wardrobe. Also, with every look, I will give you plus size options of a similar look.
Brandon Maxwell
This collection inspiration is for his โmemawโ, who has Alzheimerโs. Unlike most of his collections which had bold hues and standout prints. The fashion felt more like a warm hug with neutral tones, cable knit sweaters with long satin skirts.
Brandon Maxwell does go up to size 24 and model Paloma Elsesser graced his runway show as well. The below look is a must-have for all plus size women a thick cable knit dress and suede above the knee boots. There are so many possibilities to add color, style, and personality.
