Each year we look forward to seeing the new collections from some of our favorite designers at New York Fashion Week. Like most things thing year, the show was different than in the past as it took place virtually. From September 11-September 16 designers showed their Spring/Summer 2021 collections and there were 15 new American brands that made their way to the runway. These are the new designers that caught our eye.
Theophilio
Designer Edvin Thompson’s collection featured bright colors in lightweight fabrics like mesh and chiffon as well as fringe details. An ode to his Jamaican roots, the pieces are the burst of color we could use in our wardrobes after this solemn year.
Frère
Some of the hottest celebrity men including Jay-Z, Michael B. Jordan, and Chris Paul have already stepped out in suits by designer Davidson Petit-Frère. At NYFW he showed a women’s line that features the same impeccable tailoring and luxury materials.
Maisie Wilen
Designer Maisie Schloss Maisie Wilen’s bright patterns in figure-hugging silhouettes are a favorite of Camila Mendes, Keke Palmer, and the Kardashians and Jenners, and the former womenswear designer at Yeezy showed a more toned-down collection with her signature tight dresses, but in darker colors with fun details.
