Young brands in vogue at New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week got packed full of young designers and emerging labels this year at the ramp.

Rodarte one of the few major brands to return this year opened the Fall-Winter 2023 parade alongside with Thom Browne, the new head of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).

Proenza Schouler, Altuzarra, Coach, Sergio Hudson, Carolina Herrera, Gabriela Hearst and Michael Kors were seen too.

Notable absence of high-profilers such as Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren and previous CFDA lead Tom Ford has been felt by the audience.

Instead, the collection of ready-to-wear designs serves up a large helping of young talents and new brands, such as Elena Velez.
