The collection was a harmonious collage of prints and luxurious fabrics, all as a nod to the brand’s glorious past and a modern future. The front row saw celebrities like Priyanka Chopra, Oprah Winfrey, Kanye West, among others, in attendance to celebrate the designer’s 50 glorious years in fashion.

HOMECOMING

Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler returned to NYFW after showcasing at Paris for the last few seasons. So, that touch of Parisian glamour was quite visible.

ECLECTIC MIX
Prabal Gurung
Nepalese designer Prabal Gurung has always championed the cause of diversity and inclusivity in fashion. For his SS ’19 show, he went back to his roots and offered an athletic collection in bright hues with strategic cutouts.
