NYFW Designers On the Inspiration Behind Their Fall-Winter 2019 Collections

"Tailored volume."

"Independence manifested through inherent style."

"FALL 19 is a trip. Literally. The collection evolved from looking at the boldness, experimentation, and individuality of dancers at 70's discotheques as well as the overall color and playfulness of their lives. Challenging that electric energy is an exercise in restraint, simplicity, and sensuality of the 90's and modern day woman. These are real clothes for chic women with a joie de vivre. Material highlights include- pearls! plaids, technical Japanese organza, mushroom stretch satin, cotton velvets, sequin layering pieces, and mesh."

“Subverted elegance.”

"The Fall 2019 collection is a mix of Western inspired prints paired on feminine silhouettes capturing an elevated, rustic feel."

“This season, our collection was inspired by Tiffany glass and intricate stained-glass windows.”

"Tanya Taylor's Fall 2019 collection is inspired by the women who embody a creative outlook and colorful spirit through bold print and color."

"This season, while living in Paris and discovering the city, I was inspired by my many visits to the Picasso museum and Musee’ d'Orsay. In particular, I loved Matisse’s painting of “Bouquet De Fleurs Dans La Chocolatière” found at the Picasso Museum. It has inspired the color palette for this fall collection, with its rich hues and unusual juxtaposition."

“Two worlds colliding.”

“Windy oceanside, winter days."

“BOSS sponsors major exhibitions across the globe, and art is an integral part of our DNA. This season, a stop in the cultural hub of New York – specifically the gallery district in Chelsea, Manhattan – was the starting point for the design and curation of the new Fall/Winter collection.”

“The Fall 2019 collection is about a nomadic luxury while embracing the wanderlust spirit of the modern day woman with a wardrobe in a earth tone color palette than can take her anywhere.”

"The inspiration for ADEAM Fall 2019 is 'Japanese folklore.' The collection focuses on the Ainu culture of Hokkaido, Japan, and explores the intricate handwork and vibrant color palette that is unique to the Ainu tradition."

"Fall 2019 was inspired by the art nouveau era of Gustav Klimt and his use of jewel tones, especially his use of gold and copper color and his decorative, ornate style, which we translated into our fabrics and embellishments.”

"This collection I was inspired by early mid 1900s.”

“The women of New York City are the inspiration for this collection....freedom, individuality, and creativity in creating one’s personal style.”

“Sobering flourishes.”

"Wonder and beauty – A travelogue of Southeast Asia."

"The jeans were used as tailoring fabric. The trousers are high waisted and some have loops of lowered suspenders to give a tailored menswear appeal. "

"Celebrating 10 years, Bibhu Mohapatra's new collection honors the women who have inspired him, while looking to the future."
