New York Fashion Week: 5 Trends we Loved From the Spring/Summer 2022 Shows
Welcome back, New York Fashion Week!
We were all kind, all optimistic and all armoured with very nice words about the virtual reality existence that fashion brands and their shows have surrendered to in the past year-or-so. The excitement and sweet, sweet sincerity about the return of runways; the return of a real-life audience; the return of after-parties, however, make it quite clear: there's nothing like a show experienced in real-time, in-person. The runway looks certainly did not disappoint in the few days counting down to the also-revived Met Gala — it was the bold, the brash and the beatific that led the way. Understandably. For the joy — the fun! — in clothes; in the institution, the designers, the people that keep this industry alive.
Below, just a handful of trends we saw, loved and can't wait to wear.
Trend #1: Hey, Your Bra's Showing
Call it merely an evolution of the Gen Z-staple cropped top, or call it a sartorial repercussion derived from our inability to extract limbs from the things we choose to wear (or not wear) as we amble around the house. Whatever you wish, underwear as outerwear — be it a bralette-adjacent top or corset-inspired tank complete with strips of boning anchored from ribcage to hipbone — was a ubiquitous sight across Spring/Summer 2022 shows, from Michael Kors’ opening look à la a red-lipped Kendall Jenner, to the triangle variations tucked beneath dopamine-bright cardigans at Coach.
Trend #2: Wallflowers Need Not Apply
There’s a healthy modicum of responsibility that comes with making entrances in full-body paillettes worn like an armour; like sheaths of chainmail donned pre-battle. The kind plated and sparkling at TOM FORD, encasing neither bodycon nor the genre of gowns you’d expect drifting along a long stretch of scarlet-red carpet. Instead, they’re embellishing everyday silhouettes. The tank top. The ribbed-knit. The basics rendered very much not so this season. On the topic of OTT designs, there were, too, an abundance of feathers at Prabal Gurung; top-to-toe satin at Christian Siriano; very fringed separates at Proenza Schouler. A season of fashion that’s all joy, all deep breaths and all — damn it, look at me.
Trend #3: Strapped In
The area extending from the crown of your head to your décolletage? Prime real estate. It's the space with the most screen time on FaceTime. On Zoom. On whatever chat applications you use to maintain some sort of truncated connection with long-distance friends, lovers and relatives. To keep those fair few inches interesting, Jonathan Simkhai makes a case for a very strappy yoke. Eckhaus Latta headlined with strips of the ribbed-knit fabric anchored at the armscye, tumbling past the upper arms. Maryam Nassir Zadeh, too, with spaghetti string-ties all asymmetric; then, layered; then, knotted and tethered across the shoulders like webbing.
Trend #4: Crafty
While you were collecting supplies for tie-dye, beaded necklaces and knitting and embroidery and crochet last summer, you’d be remiss not to imagine your favourite designers with the same knee-jerk inclination. Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler made way for Kauai, for example, and sent their swishy, fringed designs down the runway with handmade leis from Maui. Joseph Altuzarra celebrated his NYC homecoming with shibori-dyed separates on a runway opened by none other than new-mother Gigi Hadid. Gabriela Hearst, always a proponent for craft, started her show with knit maxis embellished at the hips and ribcage with woven inserts handmade in collaboration with Naiomi Glasses and TahNibaa Naataanii of the Navajo Nation.
Trend #5: A Cold Summer
There's something to be said about transseasonal collections, with designs named for Spring/Summer sauntering down runways cosy in knits; in big coats; in anoraks; in shearling; in tartan check and brushed surfaces and houndstooth prints perhaps much more familiar emblazoned across collections another season away. Most patent was Coach's homage to Bonnie Cashin, a titan that made the brand a household name upon her helm, and someone superlatively described as a designer that "cut some of the best outerwear American fashion has ever seen." We're all going to need coats in a couple of months anyway. Or, on vacation — fingers crossed.

Coach Returns With Another Surprising BAPE Collaboration
8 Fashion Podcasts to Tune in to
As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. And this is best encapsulated by fashion: You cannot separate Alessandro Michele’s Gucci from its warm-toned, surreal campaign images shot by Glen Luchford, for example. Neither can you think of Alexander McQueen’s designs without picturing the spectacular runway shows where he unveiled them. And any dress, bag or shoe you desire has likely found its way into your heart through a photo of one celebrity or another wearing it.
Besides the clothes themselves, images are the most powerful medium for fashion brands to tell a story. Lately, however, some brands have decided that a thousand words are not enough. They want more, something to fill up the space of 20 minutes or even an hour. Enter podcasts, fashion’s latest dip into modern tech trends.
Podcasts have boomed in the last couple of years thanks to our increasingly plugged-in, multitasking lifestyles. The beauty of podcasts is that they are audio-only, so you can be entertained while staying productive. For fashion fans, they offer a rare peek behind the curtain at the world of their favourite designers.
It’s fashion, unfiltered: creative directors get personal, sharing their creative processes, inspirations and ideas. Their celebrity muses and creative collaborators also talk about their craft, linking fashion to art, music and film. And it’s not just brands that are hopping on the podcast bandwagon. From journalists to stylists, fashion insiders have also launched their own series, sharing hot takes and insights on the industry.
Ready to dive into the world of fashion podcasts and be inspired (or schooled)? Here is our selection of the best ones to start listening to.
3.55 by Chanel
[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/a4b8ae7770af8e814ce1138afdd6debee90fa18f9594887209afcf844b71e7e464d3d82ff40a0e793824256486610b06b2c91273aebe0c033de49bf701ed4b5c.jpeg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/3.55-chanel.png" right-caption="The series includes guests such as Pharrell Williams." left-caption="Chanel has a podcast titled 3.55."]
Hosted by Monocle’s editor-in-chief, Tyler Brûlé, Chanel’s podcast series features intimate conversations with muses of the French brand. It’s a star-studded line-up that includes Marion Cotillard, Sofia Coppola, Pharrell Williams and Keira Knightley, all of whom talk about their relationship with Chanel, coupled with anecdotes about the late Karl Lagerfeld.

Alessandro Michele’s influences are as diverse as the people he collaborates with at Gucci. The Gucci Podcast brings them all together, pairing them up for candid conversations revolving around their creative pursuits. Some highlights include Florence Welch discussing her poetry, Dapper Dan recounting his career as a designer in Harlem, and three Michelin-star chef Massimo Bottura talking about the birth of Gucci Osteria.

Dior Talks
[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/OCCgIVNMnMpvbuN344TdleqZuTPQMOBnLFBLPu1v_400x400.jpeg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/dior-podcast.png" right-caption="Artist Judy Chicago is a guest on one of the episodes." left-caption="Dior Talks is the brand's new podcast series."]
Under the helm of Maria Grazia Chiuri, every Dior collection has revolved around feminism. The same can be said of the Maison’s new podcast series, too. Hosted by art historians and curators, each episode of Dior Talks dives into the minds of the brand’s artist collaborators, including Judy Chicago, Tomaso Binga and Mickalene Thomas. It’s a great way to learn about art and to dig deeper into the feminist slogans that have graced Dior T-shirts.
Listen on: Spotify, Apple, Dior.com
Check out: The Judy Chicago episode to find out how the American artist brought her massive Goddess sculpture to life at Dior’s Spring/Summer 2020 haute couture show.
The Memory Of... With John Galliano
[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Screenshot-2020-03-18-at-3.56.11-PM.png" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/john-galliano.png" right-caption="This includes insights on his new Recicla line at the Maison Margiela F/W 2020 show." left-caption="John Galliano shares his inspirations and processes in his podcast series."]
Ever wondered where John Galliano gets his ideas for his Maison Margiela collections? Hear from the designer himself in this series as he delves into the inspirations and techniques behind his designs. Each episode is only a little over 10 minutes, but we wouldn’t mind listening to Galliano’s drawled musings about fashion for longer than that.
Listen on: Spotify, Apple, Acast
Check out: The latest episode where Galliano details the birth of his new Recicla line at the Maison Margiela F/W 2020 show.
Dream It Real by Coach
This podcast series by Coach is less of a fashion masterclass and more of a pep talk. Except that this pep talk comes from celebrities like Selena Gomez, Michael B. Jordan and Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams — all faces of the New York fashion brand. Be inspired by their stories on empowerment and finding the confidence to follow their dreams.
Listen on: Spotify, Apple, Coach.com
Check out: The episode featuring Selena Gomez, where she shares her thoughts on social media, self-acceptance and her collaboration with Cardi B.
Pieces of Me: My Life in 7 Garments by Net-a-Porter
[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/TRACEE-ELLIS-ROSS_PORTER-PODCAST_COURTESY-OF-PORTER-2-copy.jpg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Screen-Shot-2020-03-17-at-9.49.40-PM.png" right-caption="Tracee Ellis Ross." left-caption="Pieces of Me is a weekly podcast series."]
Consider Net-a-Porter’s new weekly podcast series as an extension of its in-house magazine, Porter. Like Porter, Pieces of Me spotlights distinguished women like actress Tracee Ellis Ross or writer Sinéad Burke and explores their relationship with style. For the podcast, each guest recalls defining moments in their lives and what they wore during those moments.
Check out: The first episode, in which Tracee Ellis Ross describes the dress she wore for her big win at the 2017 Golden Globes, 44 years after her mother Diana Ross had done the same.
The Business of Fashion Podcast
The Business of Fashion Podcast is essential listening for anyone remotely interested in fashion. Like the publication of the same name, it covers almost every aspect of the industry imaginable. Hour-long episodes are dedicated to examining future trends and fashion movements such as sustainability, or the legacy of iconic designers such as Christian Louboutin and Karl Lagerfeld. The podcast is also a goldmine of exclusive interviews; big names like Kim Jones and Kim Kardashian are featured just as often as newer ones like Craig Green and Alyx founder Matthew Williams throughout the series.
Listen on: Apple, Stitcher, businessoffashion.com
Check out: The episode on the Fall/Winter 2020 fashion month, where Business of Fashion founder Imran Amed and renowned fashion critic Tim Blanks discuss the changes within the fashion world in the midst of our uncertain times.
Dressed: The History of Fashion
[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/detail-Charles-Frederick-Worth-engraving.jpg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Screen-Shot-2020-03-17-at-10.36.11-PM-1.png" right-caption="Charles Frederick Worth (Photo: Britannica)" left-caption="This podcast focuses on the origins of iconic fashion items and brands."]
As vintage fashion becomes more popular, it would be wise to brush up on your fashion knowledge. Dressed: The History of Fashion helps with exactly that. Led by fashion historians April Calahan and Cassidy Zachary, the podcast leads us through the rich stories behind our favourite clothes and brands. Uncover the origins of the peter pan collar or cat-eye sunglasses, learn how couturiers like Hubert de Givenchy and Elsa Schiaparelli shaped fashion and find out why the Met Gala is such a big deal in the first place through the insightful series.

Jennifer Lopez is the New Face of Coach
When you think that there wouldn't be any surprising news from actress and singer Jennifer Lopez, think again. This month, Coach introduces Jennifer Lopez as its new Global Face. The luxury fashion brand that comes from New York will have her to campaign its global advertisement of leather, ready-to-wear, and shoe collections that will start from Spring 2020.
As a singer, producer, and an actress, Jennifer Lopez has built her career and made a groundbreaking move that changes the standard of the entertainment industry by setting her foot down and achieves everything with her own way, thanks to her background as a true New Yorker. Sharing the same values with Coach that was founded 78 years ago, Jennifer Lopez exudes confidence on all of the chances to express her unique and authentic self.
Known for its leather craftsmanship, quality, and New Yorker style, Coach is known for its optimism, inclusion, and authenticity. "I'm really happy that I had the chance to collaborate with Coach," said Jennifer Lopez. "Coach is a timeless fashion brand that I like and the Spring 2020 collection will be a reflection of my style," said Lopez as she was appointed as the new Global Face of Coach.
"Jennifer has an authentic personality. She's tough and always keeping it real, who has achieved so many awards and praises in her career, with her own way," said Stuart Vevers, Creative Director of Coach. "I'm really happy to see Jennifer showcase her Coach Signature bag in her video music back in 2002, 'All I Have'. She comes from New York, just like Coach, which makes it an authentic connection with our background, and I'm really glad that I could bring Jennifer and Juergen Teller together."

Pop star Jennifer Lopez is the new face of Coach
The multi-hyphenated singer, actress and producer has been snapped up by the luxury US fashion label to front its upcoming campaigns for its shoes, accessories and ready-to-wear lines.
The Tapestry-owned brand has kicked off the partnership by teasing its Spring 2020 campaign, photographed by Ben Rosser and featuring Lopez rocking a chic belted trench coat.
"I'm so excited for this collaboration with Coach," Lopez said in a statement. "It is a timeless brand that I've always been a fan of and the upcoming collection really speaks to my personal style — an uptown downtown mix."
"Jennifer is so authentic," added Coach creative director Stuart Vevers. "She's determined and she's an original who has followed her own path to do things her own way — she really embodies the attitude of Coach and our new campaign."
Lopez has, in fact, long admired the heritage label's aesthetic — in her 2002 music video "All I Have," she was depicted wearing several of the label's bags around New York.
Coach is no stranger to working with famous faces, having featured Selena Gomez in multiple campaigns over the years and even going so far as to release collaborative collections with the star. The brand's holiday campaign, which rolled out earlier this month, also featured a raft of big names, including Kate Moss, Yara Shahidi and rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
