Concept Korea Spring/Summer 2015 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

This season's fashion collective celebrates Concept Korea's 10th anniversary since Spring/Summer 2010. The three new Korean designers featured this season include LEYII by Seunghee Lee, Beyond Closet by Tae Yong and Resurrection by Juyoung Lee.

LEYII's Spring/Summer 2015 collection. "Rhythmic Contrast", focuses on creme and black, with vibrant purple, fuchsia and yellow. Inspired by Alexander Calder, LEYII uses straight lines and flat surfaces in silk, organza and jacquard separates.

Beyond Closet's Spring/Summer collection titled "B.C.School Gang", features menswear with classic silhouettes blended with graphic tattoo artistry.  It's a combination of preppy and artsy, from navy and white stripe t-shirts, cardigan sweaters and chino pants to satin blouson jackets and leather tees.

Resurrection's Spring/Summer 2015 collection, "Casual and Masculine", is inspired by functional fashion, detailed with lace, zippers and translucent fabrics juxtaposed against masculine shapes to create sexy and edgy looks. The collection focuses on a black, white and gray palette in linen, leather and mesh.

Snowman Spring / Summer 2015 at New York Fashion Week

Snowman's Spring / Summer 2015 ACTION collection is inspired by the classic 1950s elegance and simplicity. From a classic trench to a cropped parka, the coats are comfortable, yet structured with slimming lines. The palette features nude, mustard, coral, wine, navy, and black.

Snowman also incorporates shorter sleeve lengths and flattering styles that make it very wearable for anyone petite, with sizes starting at XS. 

These city chic coats are made with water resistant fabrics and are extremely lightweight, breathable and packable, making them great for travel. Their ultra-thin down jackets are designed to keep you warm, with a 90/10 premium down filling.

Desigual Spring / Summer 2015 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

Desigual Spring / Summer 2015, designed by Christian Lacroix, is inspired by nature's flora and fauna, presenting a colorful, multi-cultural bouquet. The collection focuses on warm weather with daisies in bloom, desert roses, tropical hibiscus and Mexican dahlias; flowers freshly cut from an imaginary garden. 

The collection is a blossoming kaleidoscope, inspiring happiness, one bloom at a time, with jade, white and onyx tones filled with poppy red, saffron, and teal. Amongst the colorful prints were neutral tones, including a black and white kaleidoscopic mini, A-line tank dress, embroidered tulle tops (I love this paired with the crinkle chiffon kimono jacket) and a black lace top with contrasting scallop crochet detailing.

Desigual for me is always the most playful, fun and colorful of shows, with Adriana Lima hitting the runway with the opening and closing looks.
