Coach: From gas stations to railway tracks, the runway sets that British designer Stuart Vevers creates for Coach reflect his own exploration of American history. For A/W 2017, the designer imagined a dusty prairie landscape, with models sporting equestrian and floral print smock dresses, jumbo-plaid jackets and snuggly fur hats.

M Martin: Hillary Clinton may have lost the US presidential election, but M Martin still used the politician and her suit as a starting point to explore the notion of female empowerment through Clinton, and other strong women like Loulou de la Falaise, Oprah Winfrey and Meryl Streep. What Jennifer Noyes and Alex Gilbert came up with was their version of the power suit — stylish, yet relaxed with a tie belt — and a number of comfy chic separates, like their signature pyjama tops, wide legged trousers, crisp white shirts and graphic dresses.

Rosie Assoulin: It was all about volume, shape and form in Rosie Assoulin’s A/W 2017 collection, inspired by furniture, and the feeling of being at home. Colourful flower patches embellished sheer dresses, while others featured delicate pressed flowers and smiley-face stickers pressed between two layers of silk.

Public School: Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne’s politically charged collection featured baseball caps and sweaters emblazoned with the slogan ‘Make America New York’. The resistant offering also incorporated imaginative silhouettes and fabrications, from deconstructed pinstripe tailoring to layered puffer jackets, patchwork paisley print to rich plaids.

Self-Portrait: Designer Han Chong’s A/W 2017 woman is confident, assured, and quick witted, just as many females who live in New York City are. That woman wears a velvet Le Smoking tuxedo, and loves to wear ruffles, so Chong chose to put them on velvet rompers, lace tops and sexy dresses. That attitude was also seen in Self-Portrait’s collaboration with shoe designer Robert Clergerie. A chunky-heeled, pointed boot with cut outs and straps wrapped around the ankle, sealed with leather buckles. Photography: Jason Lloyd-Evans

Rag & Bone: Rag & Bone eschewed a runway show to present it’s A/W 2017 collection, for an exhibition celebrating 15 years in the business that included portraits of friends of the brand. Shot by longtime collaborator Glen Luchford and Frank Lebon, the images included CFDA president and CEO Steven Kolb, dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Kate Moss, modeling a collection of timeless basics, that included a merino wool crew neck sweater, a fur-collared camouflage flight jacket, a red plaid skirt and a camel overcoat.
