Fashion Week: Katty Xiomara Spring/Summer 2017 at NYFW

Katy Xiomara was another 1st for me this season. The collection had a seaside schoolgirl vibe, filled with bright pastel colors and flirty prints. The makeup and hair added to the beachy esthetic of the line. Each ensemble had a cheerful air about it perfect for spring and summer. Makes me nostalgic for this summers quickly approaching end. See below for some of my top looks and of course see the full collection in the video to have your own front row experience!

SPRING 2017 INSPIRATION:

The new SS17 collection is inspired by the great maritime power that Portugal was in the 15th century. Colors reflect the depths of the sea, Lace reinterprets fishing nets, and maritime motifs are reimagined in embroidery and laser cut outs. From this combination of ideas emerge a spontaneous bond between sophistication and simplicity with a sweet touch of urbanity, where nostalgia is approached with a fresh sense of modernity.
