Celine Spring 2020
There have been many runways this Fashion Month that have served up some retro inspiration, however, I would say that this Celine spring 2020 collection is the most retro driven. Along with the blast from the past, Celine also seems to take a distinctly street style path with this entire collection and refrains from going towards any couture looks. All of this adds up to a very interesting runway, and one that definitely deserves a little dissecting. Overall, I would say that Celine is overwhelmingly pushing the 70s vibes with this collection. I don’t saying pushing to be mean, but I do say it because I do not see hints…

Miu Miu Spring 2020
Although the entire focus of Fashion Month has been on spring fashion, I feel like this Miu Miu runways has a lot of fall and winter vibes to it. As soon as I saw this collection I knew this would make its way onto a Runway Review! Miu Miu created a collection of interesting mixes, but most importantly influential elements. Something I noticed Miu Miu did with these designs was transition double breasted coat dresses into a springtime look. Typically we see this kind of design make an appearance in fall/winter fashion, but Miu Miu decided to shift this style into something more appropriate for spring. Personally, I love this…

Versace Spring 2020
If there is one takeaway from this entire Fashion Month, it is that retro is going to be the flavor of spring 2020! In last week’s Look Book post “80s Inspiration & Structured Sleeves“, I keyed in on this fashion concept. Although a lot of these looks will be a hot and heavy trend for spring 2020, I have seen hints of it even now in the fall. The most important fashion trend for spring 2020 will be structured shoulders. This is influenced by a mixture of time eras like the Victorian era, the 40s, and the 80s. Of course, we all remember that shoulder pads were an fashion item…

Prada Spring 2020
Prada has a very interesting take on what spring 2020 fashion will look like. While skipping all of the pastels and florals, Prada decided to do things in a retro style. This spring collection reminds me very much of the 1930s and what you would have seen back in that era (which happens to be one of my favorite times for fashion). However, each design had a distinct modern edge to it. These dresses were all very much like the straight down, a-line style we have been seeing a bit more of. This is just another example of the 1930s vibes I get from this entire runway. One Old Hollywood…

Halpern Spring 2020
Wow, wow, wow! This Halpern spring 2020 runway may be the best one I have seen so far! This doesn’t feel like any one seasonal collection, but it feels like a Met Gala red carpet all rolled up into a runway! There is so much glamour that can be found in this Halpern collection which I love. This level of sophistication is not typical found within a spring collection that is for sure. When the average person thinks of spring they may think of bunnies, sunshine, and grass. In other words, pastels, muted colors, and anything matte. Halpern took all of the expectations I had, threw them in the trash,…

Marc Jacobs Spring 2020
I’m going to be honest, I feel pretty lukewarm about this Marc Jacobs spring 2020 collection. It was not the worst runway, and it was not the best runway. However, there are a few things we can gleam in particular from this spring collection and take with us for when we go shopping. First of all, I want to point out that the colors of all kind have reigned supreme so far during both New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week. From what I can tell, pastels are still a dominant feature for spring runways, but there is a surge of brighter more in your face colors taking hold…

Coach 1941 Spring 2020
There are always a few solid runways that I always look forward to knowing they will not disappoint. Coach is one of those runways. It seems like every seasons they consistently are able to both surprise and reassure me in the essence of their brand. For the spring 2020 Coach collection there was a ton of leather on display! That is such a stark contrast to what we normally see and what all of the other collections are showing for this season. Typically, spring is the time of the year for butterflies, flowing dresses, and a boat load of pastels. All of these elements are, of course, nice for spring,…

Johnathan Simkhai Spring 2020
Of all of the runways that have show this Fashion Month so far, the most intriguing of them all for me is the Johnathan Simkhai runway. This wasn’t a collection that will define a fashion era, but, I believe, it will hold some weight when it comes to the trends we will see in 2020. The overalls vibe I get from this spring 2020 collection is definitely late 1800s early 1900s. If you look back in fashion history, you can see how these two different timelines kind of go along with one another and, ultimately, gave way to each other. Let me separate these two inspirational eras a little bit.…

Carolina Herrera Spring 2020
It is officially Fashion Month! Which means there will be plenty of brand new and exciting Runway Reviews coming your way! Today I want to review one of the first collections to really catch my eye, and one that I do not believe has received the kind of attention it deserves. The Carolina Herrera collection for spring 2020 plays on all of the right notes of spring, but without all of the clichés. If you notice, the designs featured on this particular runway contain all of the elements of any good springtime look that you would expect like pastels and florals. However, thanks to the bold silhouettes and structures in…

Dior Spring 2020 for Men
The final collection from the spring 2020 men’s runways that I will be reviewing is the Dior runway. Although I am disappointed that Dior did not stray from the typical pastels of the springtime, I do like that there were some textures and designs added to these looks. For instance, the shoes for this collection had a very gummy like texture and look to them that really amplified the overall neutral color tone of the runway. I also enjoyed that once in a while a bright color made a special appearance on the Dior runway. This bright shade especially stood out against the white and pastels that dominated. Another element…
