Delpozo: Arguably the most beautiful collection of New York Fashion Week, Delpozo’s Josep Font proved that he’s the master of eveningwear. Font was influenced by Spanish light master Joaquín Sorolla and Korean-American artist Soo Sunny Park’s installation art. Sculptural trousers, tops and gowns in soft pastels came out from the runway, along with an assortment of ruffles, stripes and shiny floral embellishments. Photographer: Jason Lloyd-Evans
Tomas Maier: Embroidered floral details, hand-painted hems and colour blocking brought a playful element to Tomas Maier understated spring/summer collection that was clearly meant for discrete city dwellers.

Diane Von Furstenberg: Jonathan Saunders’s debut at DVF was a commanding success, with the designer adding new life to the house’s signature wrap dress, with vibrant, intersecting prints and a looser fit.

Sies Marjan: For his second NYFW outing, Sies Marjan’s Sander Lak continued to maintain the buzz around his label with an array of monochromatic looks, featuring a sprinkling of an abstract pastel prints, and looks that proved that he knows how to elegantly drape, wrap, and slouch.

Hood By Air: Never one to hold on to convention, Hood By Air’s Shayne Oliver tapped Pornhub to sponsor his S/S 2016 show, even using porn as the inspiration for the show’s beauty looks, smearing Vaseline all over the models’ heads. Crisp, deconstructed white shirts rolled out, many covered with the word Wench – the collection’s theme.

Eckhaus Latta: Despite the sweltering heat, a coterie of artists, musicians and downtown scenesters showed up for Eckhaus Latta’s runway show, which was located in a park on New York’s Lower East Side. There’s a reason why Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta’s label is one of New York’s most buzzed about, especially amongst New York’s creative set; it’s the way they form innovative silhouettes by rejiggering denim, so that it looks new and fresh, just as they retool knits with carefree open backs. In short, they give traditional staples a new perspective. Photography: Jason Lloyd-Evans

Area: Piotrek Panszczyk and Beckett Fogg combed old issues of iconic American fashion magazines to find inspiration for their S/S 2017 collection. ‘There was a lot of sports involved, so from that we started this intarsia on silk track jackets,’ explained Panszyczyk. ‘It starts as a bow that is appliquéd on the jacket, and it finishes as a bow that’s tied onto the neck’
M. Martin: The team at M. Martin looked to the fashions of Ernest Hemingway and his many women for S/S 2017, showing an easygoing collection dominated by tropical prints, loose-fitting safari jackets and its signature pyajama-cut pieces
