Today we will be talking about this years New York Fashion Week and the mini and maxi skirt takeover. As we wrap up this year’s NYFW, let’s take a look at the trends that we will see every day, all the way from the runway.

From mini skirts to sweeping maxis, we cannot forget about the swift maxi skirt that took the runway by force. In addition, the audacious designers such as Peter Do, Altuzarra, and Ulia Johnson incorporated the flowy statement piece into their line. The dramatic skirt’s popularity arose in the 70s. As of today, the maxi skirt is taking the runway by storm with sequins, volumized swings, and exaggerated shapes.
Today, we can’t help but think, are the 60s and 70s emerging for us this year? In conclusion, both statement pieces seemed to make a lasting impression on the media. As we cannot wait to see these pieces incorporated into our fall and winter wardrobe. To sum it up, we ask, how will you style these silhouettes?
