In certain circles online, New York Fashion Week<\/a> is talked about as the ugly stepchild of Fashion Month<\/a>. People lament its lack of tentpole shows, point out how designers tend to leave for Paris or show off-schedule, and generally dunk on midlevel contemporary brands making the same wool coats and wide-leg pants in shades of greige. To be sure: New York has a sameness problem, as the divide between multi-million-dollar brands and scrappy indie designers grows by the day. Compound this with a withering retail market and rising costs of production, and the harshness of being an American designer comes fully into light.<\/p>\n

But during what was a particularly rough season for clothes and ideas, a few beacons of light brightened up a gray, windy week in the city. When reflecting back on the week with friends, a through line emerged: rigor. The brands\u2019 runways we enjoyed the most didn\u2019t always have the most groundbreaking ideas, but the efficiency and clarity with which they presented proves it\u2019s about concision and editing. Those with the sharpest visions for their labels \u2014 those who cut through the noise of new-era minimalism and rambunctiously riotous \u201cpick-me\u201d brands \u2014 stood out. Whether through casting, location, or production, they also proved intention beyond the clothes can take a good show and make it great<\/em>. Keep reading to see what got our hearts racing from the front row.<\/p>\n

Tory Burch<\/h2>\n

We were one of the first to call the 2020s for what they are: the Toryssiance<\/a>. From outlet brand to wristlet maker to now runway darling, Burch has continued to stage coups by way of her epic catwalks. This season, Burch drew on Bunny Mellon\u2019s idiosyncratic style and, as stated via news release, \u201chonored what makes archetypes last while exploring technique and proportion.\u201d Classic preppy American staples like corduroy pants, embellished cardigans, boat-neck sweaters, and wool blazers got a bit of a roomy update and punchy colors to boot. Tory also had one of the most covetable front-row spots (we spied Mary Beth Barone<\/a> and Myha\u2019la<\/a> singing Dolly Parton<\/a> together) and the best soundtrack of the week; we also left instantly desiring a raffia bag for fall \u2014 and the face-wrapping sunglasses<\/a>, of course.<\/p>\n
