New York Fashion Week - day 6

By Katie Wright
Probably the most highly anticipated collection of NYFW, Marc Jacobs was as prolific as ever. A spectacular swarm of references (Japan, gypsies, eighties, Elizabethans and many more) was spread over more than 50 looks.

Much warmer were the offerings from Carolina Herrera and Zac Posen. The former’s brand of grown-up glamour came in a range of sandy and sunset tones:






And Posen’s mood was fresh and youthful while channelling a sixties vibe. The tinted transparent raincoats and flower-strewn gowns were real standouts.
