Highlights of the event

The show happened in New York's midtown Manhattan which began with a lush brown trench-style coat, followed by a suit in the same fabric with an odd-shaped wrap skirt followed by pants and sweaters, a stream of dresses which included tops and coats in an animal-style print. The most creative sight on the ramp came when two models wore the same dress together and walked side by side, one was in a plus size clothing, which is seen as an effective stand on the diversity of style.
