Lenerd by Felipe Santamaria Luque of Colombia
Epson returned to New York Fashion Week to showcase their new digital textile printing expertise. The electronics company kicked off NYFW by hosting a Digital Couture presentation in the Meatpacking District highlighting looks created by 11 designers using their high-tech direct-to-garment and digital dye-sublimation printer. The digital dye-sublimation and direct-to-garment technology allows designers to manipulate textile designs and color selections with a simple click of a mouse. Epson’s SureColor® F-Series printers allow both young designers starting out in the fashion world and well-known brands the opportunity to do test runs and produce samples in-house making it an effective and cost-efficient method. This year’s theme was “Harmony and Peace Through Fashion” created by designers from the Americas including Cristina Ruales from Brooklyn, N.Y., Chloe Trujillo from Los Angeles, California, Santika by Danny Santiago from Miami, Florida, and Ossira by Agostina Orlandi and Ludmila Osikovsky from Argentina.

Daniel Silverstain RTW Spring 2016
For Spring 2016, Daniel Silverstain touched a little retro with a nod to the future with his eclectic mix of nudes and metallic. Whites, blacks and nudes were the leading colors with small nods to primary colors, silvers and coppers.
The early pieces were all-white separates, dresses and gowns with simple bright, primary-colored silk scarves tied around the models’ necks. As the collection progressed, the key colors were incorporated within layered chevron, cotton and snakeskin materials. Copper and silver-coated leather jackets were then added as the final layer. The clothing flowed and ebbed from lightweight, loose silks and chiffons to heavier textured cottons, leathers and jacquards. Heavyweight jacquard and leather outerwear was often paired with a lightweight garment underneath. Perfect for those days where spring season is around the corner, but the brisk cold hasn’t gone away quite yet.
