New York Fashion Week is officially underway with brands previewing their Spring/Summer 2022 collections. Indonesian brand Erigo recently previewed their upcoming collection at Fashion Week and The Knockturnal was backstage along the way.
New York Fashion Week is just warming up but Teyana Taylor’s latest collection is coming in hot!
The second collection comes two years after “Seven Deadly Sins.”
On Sunday, August 8th, the creative director of DL1961, Sarah Ahmed, welcomed guests into her Hamptons home to preview their SS22 collection. Alongside denim fittings for DL1961’s incredible premium denim, Covey Skincare founders Emily DiDonato and Christina Garcia were present, offering skin-care consultations and samples of their new 3-step skincare routine.

When sustainable fashion and clean skincare come together, you know I’m there. DL1961’s creative director, Sarah Ahmed, and Covey Skincare founders, Emily DiDonato and Christina Garcia, hosted an incredible family-friendly event with Denim fittings, skin-care consultations, and the cutest family-fun activities. Because beauty is my first love. The first stop on my agenda was to head over to Ahmed’s pool house, where Emily DiDonato and Christina Garcia held a small presentation on their new 3-step routine skincare line. When listening to supermodel Emily DiDonato discuss the new line, you could tell how much genuine care went into the research and development of Covey skincare. “Emily would literally send videos after trying the cleanser until we found the perfect formulation for the cleanser,” shared Christina. The Covey routine is 3- steps, easy peasy, effective, vegan, paraben-free, silicone-free, sulfate-free, and dye-free. So basically, it’s any clean beauty lover’s dream skincare line.
Next up was the preview of the DL1961 SS22 collection. The collection is STUNNING. When shopping for denim or any clothing really, I value comfort over everything, and DL1961 are some of the most comfortable and softest jeans I’ve tried. Out of the pieces I was able to preview, my favorite is the Emilie Straight Leg Overalls, I can’t wait to get my hands on them. After previewing the SS22 collection, it was time to try -on some DL1961 Denim and pick a pair to take home! When spring rolls around, I will make it my mission to get my hands on some of these pieces. Throughout the event, there were a few cute family-fun activities. The children in attendance painted in the “denim playground” attendance denim and artist Deanna First live-sketched guests. The event truly had such an at-home feeling that attendees like actress and singer Lea Michele and the cast of Netflix’s Unorthodox Life’ Julia Haart, and Robert Brotherton, mingled and joined in on the fun. Models Martha Hunt and Christina Peng were also in attendance, looking stunning as ever! Also in attendance were some of the most fun-spirited digital creators- JD, Jasmina Ahmed, and Antoinette Clarisa -I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. The day was truly a family affair, and I’m so excited to see what’s come from both brands.

CULT of Individuality X HVMAN held their SS’21 fashion last Thursday and set the tone for the return of live fashions for the upcoming NYFW. The event was filled with excitement, fashion, and rock and roll. Designer Ron Poisson made his runway debut for his 13-year-old, streetwear line “CULT of Individuality” and his new line “HVMAN” during men’s NYFW.
While this year’s New York Fashion Week has certainly taken on a different style in and of itself, beloved innovative brand Flying Solo knew how to masterfully pivot.
Rebecca Minkoff Presented her SS21 collection during NYFW and managed to deliver a gorgeous presentation with all the proper Covid safety precautions. While NYFW may have changed, Rebecca Minkoff’s ability to wow us every fashion season remains.
Fashion week has been a little different during these unprecedented times, but thanks to TRESemmé, we can still keep up with this season’s beauty trends. For the AW21 season, TRESemmé paired up Rebecca Minkoff and Jason Wu.
CFDA award-winning designer Bibhu Mohapatra is no stranger to New York Fashion Week since his eponymous brand’s debut over a decade ago. However, this year obviously posed some new challenges. From the socially-distanced norms to a lack of events worthy of luxury designer dressing, Mohapatra has faced unexpected challenges– and overcome them all.
Even during a socially distant, COVID cautious NYFW, Rebecca Minkoff delivered an incredible NYFW FW’20 presentation.
