The first slew of fashion shows have taken the Big Apple by storm, showcasing glamor and avant-gardism with a whole lot of creativity. There were oversized bags, sporty backpacks, metallic pumps and classic sandals, all of which made a loud fashionable statement amidst the fury of models.

Indeed, a designer’s job – apart from creating a collection from scratch – is to offer women overbearing confidence, one that would take them to extremes. And what better way to do so than with a series of eye-grabbing accessories? This time around, we’ve noticed a wide use of pastel colors, metallic hues and floral patterns. But most of all, we’ve noticed impressive creativity, worthy of a true fashion-forward diva.
