NYFW Fall 2014 Trends: Sporty Vibes and Eclectic PrintsFall 2014 Trends Sportswear And Prints

The NYFW fall 2014 edition is in full swing and we're getting to see more and more of the influences that will be shaping the cold months of 2014. If up until this point we've seen a lot of somber tones and a rather timid approach when it came to eye-catching prints, some of the collections spotted recently changed our perspective. Inspired by the great outdoors or simply by fascinating cultures, these lines manage to bring a fascinating maximalist perspective on the fall/winter 2014 fashion trends, even though it still feels a little premature to talk about the subject. Here are some of the influences some of the biggest names in the industry are putting forward in the upcoming months:

NYFW Fall 2014: Alexander Wang Fall 2014 RTW Collection

The Alexander Wang fall 2014 collection was inspired by the idea of survival. “We started thinking a lot about extreme conditions and the great outdoors—like, mountain climbing and camping. It was really about taking that idea of survival to an urban landscape,” the designer stated before the show. How does clothing fit into the idea? Well, the designer sent a multitude of cool coats and comfy boots down the runway. For simplifying purposes, handbags and purses were often replaced by multiple pockets. Lots of layering was seen as the best way to keep warm and boxy shapes were often preferred to more fluid silhouettes. Even with all these practical measures, the designer didn't abandon statement making prints and patterns and opted for bold tones to make his new creations stand out.
