For the Autumn WInter 2018 season of the New York fashion week has seen a new sense of romanticism as the feminism starts leading the designer's world. Globally the definition of feminism is changing and it is now more about being the woman first and to accept the reality rather than competing against men. Tory Burch for her AW18 collection went for the romantic route which embraces for the modern feminism with the flavor of poetic style. It provided a grand yet ethereal venue for the collection Burch called “femininity in overdrive.”

Ruffles, frills, plissé, and fluidity dominated the runway as the ace designers Coach, Tibi, Jason Wu, and BCBG Max Azria.

The structural crafted silhouettes with minimalistic prints are one of the other popular found trend credited to the evolving perfectionist attitude among the consumers. Zac Posen's architectural, Victoria Beckham, Narciso Rodriguez crisp fine silhouettes are the key trends. 

Plaids continue to dominate runway from men to women's collection for the Autumn winter 2018 collection at all the runway destinations. Plaids are leading in Trousers, blazer, suits, and trench coats since from Spring summer 18 runway season. Fair Isle pattern is seen in Coach and Michael Kors sweaters.

The season the key attitude designer tried to bring was a cool relaxation and the sharp edge sliced in symmetry. One of the best looks was from the Victoria Beckham's collection- a forest green knit hoodie over a languid brown skirt with a fan of accordion pleats accented by a gigantic purple felted bag. It was casual but still dressed up, and most definitely not athleisure.
