From Princess Diana and the Dust Bowl to "a psychedelic hallucination" inside the mind of Chrsitian Siriano, these are the inspirations for NYFW designers' Spring 2018 shows.
Zimmerman
"For Spring 18, I was inspired by images from the 60’s and 70’s of the sunny, beachside strip called the Gold Coast in Australia. Beachside suburbs like Surfers Paradise were developed into glamorous holiday spots – and the must-visit honeymoon destination of the time."
Kendall + Kylie
"This collection is focused on a 90's revival with a feminine edge. We wanted to take classic silhouettes and give them a new twist. We are obsessed with head to toe tonal and stripe looks right now!" -Kendall and Kylie Jenner
Trina Turk
"California's wildflower ‘Superbloom' inspired our Spring 2018 collection."
Club Monaco
“Club Monaco is a brand for individuals and their unique lives, so when I think about the Club Monaco Woman, I don’t envision one woman, but many” —Steven Cateron, Head of Design

Christian Siriano
"My Spring 2018 collection feels like a dream, almost a psychedelic hallucination of what's inside my fantasy greenhouse. All the different plants and flowers inside come to life in the most romantic and beautiful way. I've used a bright and bold color palette, including electric fuchsia evening looks, sunny yellow day dresses, and grass green suiting. The collection is playful, bold, and feminine: a perfect mix of something new and exciting for our customer." —Christian Siriano
Anna Sui
“I am inspired this season by the wonderful Counter-Couture: Handmade Fashion in an American Counterculture exhibit at the Museum of Arts and Design.” —Anna Sui
