Liz Nehdi's favourite looks from NYFW

The fashion crowd will soon be shifting from New York to London for London Fashion Week, so before that happens, I’ve culled some of my favourite printed looks from the New York shows.

It should come as no surprise that looks from J Crew and Diane Von Furstenberg made it into this edit, given that they are some of my go-to designers. Mara Hoffman’s tribal inspired dresses are also some of my favourites, and this season’s designs, inspired by North Africa, did not disappoint.

Lela Rose and Suno offered some gorgeous striped looks. Libertine’s crazy pattern mixes make me smile and looks from Cynthia Rowley, Alice & Olivia and Rachel Comey round out my picks.

What’s your favourite look from this mix? Which one would you wear?

Gearing up for New York Fashion Week

A collage of inspiration from DVF and J Crew: 2 of my favourite NY based designers

As you may know, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicks off tomorrow in New York. Diane Von Furstenberg and J Crew are two of my favourite New York based designers. I can’t wait to see what they cook up for their F/W 2014 collections!

DVF has been an inspirational woman and brand for me for a long time so it’s with excitement that we’re witnessing the celebration of 40 years of her wrap dresses.

J Crew has been a staple of my wardrobe way back since my days at Miss Porter’s School and I love the evolution they’ve made from uber prep to eclectic, insouciant and colourful design through a refined lens.
