A FASHION STUDENT'S DIARY: NYFW 2018 - Brandon Maxwell Fall 2018

New York Fashion Week! Frankly this is one of the most exciting times of year for me (rivaling Christmas) where we get to indulge in fantastic new collections from established brands and new designers are unveiled.

This post, we're talking about Brandon Maxwell, by no means a new designer, however, his is a new name to me. And I have to say, I am glad to have stumbled upon this collection. The Autumn, Winter collection consists of 38 looks, the theme (as said by Maxwell himself) is 'relaxed glamour'. I would imagine this to refer to the addition of pockets, slouched fabrics and basic white tee paired with the gorgeous satin like fabrics, evening dress and sparkles. My favourite combination in this entire collection had to be the pairing of the super sexy high slit in the skirts and the fluffy sliders.

I loved the decor chosen for this runway; dark, dim with the theatrics of smoke. His runway consisted of many big-named faces, such as Gigi and Bella Hadid, Romee Strijd, Joan Smalls and one of my favourite faces: Karlie Kloss, At the time of year the show took place I couldn't help but think that this was a subtle salutation to Vday, however, this following quote from the designer himself concludes the collection perfectly:

“Every woman is not just going to a black-tie event every night. They have places to be!”
