One glamorous weekend attracted all attention across Manhattan and Brooklyn before the fashion crowd headed to London, then Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks.

Offering intriguing variations of well-known clothing conventions, New York Fashion Week once again dusted off the runways and shook the audience. Some designers took on modernizing American dress codes, either within their contexts or from scratch. However, not all designers aimed to revolutionize the rules, as some drew inspiration from community, family, personal experiences, and heritage to craft their looks. By now, New York Fashion Week kicked off women's fashion month with a bustling schedule that featured highly anticipated debuts, the return of iconic runways, and a plethora of beloved hometown designers. 
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">Here is everything that went down at the weekend of New York Fashion Week.&nbsp;

Collina Strada
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">"Collina's Gym" celebrated the mantra "femme is flex," emphasizing sustainability through deadstock fabrics and corn leather UGGs. The collection featured bubble tops and outerwear designs that echoed robust musculature.

Libertine
This season, Libertine's graphics drew inspiration not from feverish dreams but from a hypnotic session that consistently referenced the stylish late art collector Peggy Guggenheim. The collection featured coordinated patterns and motifs across clothing and accessories, incorporating a variety of attention-grabbing graphics.

Peter Do 
Peter Do persists in establishing fresh fashion norms for New Yorkers. Described as "a system of dress" in "a world of chaos" by the show notes, this collection reflects Do's contemplation on the concepts of "protection" versus "projection." He experimented with materials like silk bubble wrap to embody the former theme. Additionally, Do drew inspiration from select pieces from Helmut Lang's Spring 2003 archive to initiate his creative process.

Willy Chavarria
This season, Willy Chavarria debuted handbags, which he paired with layered suits and striking, exaggerated shapes. Presenting the collection alongside a film titled "Safe from Harm," Chavarria underscored the significance of community. Outerwear options included loose-fitting bomber jackets and leather jackets with a nod to 1980s fashion. The runway showcased a juxtaposition of wide lapels and broad shoulders against bubble hemlines.

Prabal Gurung
Prabal Gurung's fashion line evoked sombre reflection and ethereal reverie. Gurung was preoccupied with change and evolution, citing them as his work's inspiration. He conceived the idea for his showcase during ten days of introspective meditation.

The Blonds
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">At The Blonds, the runway blazed with an electrifying display as the incomparable designers embraced the essence of "Fuego" in Latin American cultures. Explained in the show notes as "a declaration of identity, a celebration of life, and an affirmation of the enduring flame that burns within every Latin heart," the collection paid homage to the designers' heritage and the iconic Latin pop divas they've admired, from Charo and Selena Quintanilla to J.Lo and Christina Aguilera as the collection featuring opulent fabrics, dazzling jewels, and fluid silhouettes.&nbsp;

Kim Shui
Kim Shui's presentation commemorated the Lunar New Year on the eve of the festivity with a palette of lively hues and cruelty-free materials. The collection welcomes the year of the dragon, honouring the legendary creature's "strength and resilience," as highlighted in the show notes.

Tommy Hilfiger
Tommy Hilfiger revamped classic styles to redefine American prep for 2024. Making a comeback after a two-year hiatus, the designer presented a fresh interpretation of preppy fashion, moving away from streetwear influences. Titled "A New York Moment," the show marked a significant milestone for the brand, which has traditionally been associated with popular culture and youth, maintaining solid connections with hip-hop and sports.

Christian Siriano
Christian Siriano drew inspiration from the cinematic universe of "Dune," reimagining eveningwear and glamour within a sci-fi, apocalyptic desert setting, as stated in his show notes. Body-hugging draped gowns in opulent burnt oranges symbolized the vast desert landscapes depicted in the films, while black "tinsel" fabrics evoked the twinkling starlit skies of deep space.

Proenza Schouler&nbsp;
Proenza Schouler's creative duo, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez presented an abundance of wintry whites this season while exploring translucent layers and refined interpretations of suiting and outerwear. The label has adopted a more cumulative design philosophy, persistently expanding on existing concepts rather than radically reinventing them each season&mdash;standout features comprised tall cowl neck collars, asymmetrical cuts, knit capes, and sweeping apron dresses.

Eckhaus Latta
Eckhaus Latta embraced an earthy colour palette this season, incorporating sandblasted denim into their collection. The show concluded with model Alex Wek elegantly closing the runway in a layered column dress paired with furry mules. Among the highlights were new textures and variations, including tanned shearling cuffs adorning vegan leather jackets crafted from laminated felt, fluid organza layered silk slip dresses, pleated corduroy pieces, and a unique type of pleated oxblood jacket featuring phrases.
