New York Wrap-Up

Every fashion week there are a few overly prevalent looks that make me curious as to where exactly the bunker is located in which head designers meet to agree on what they will send down the runway. I picture top secret codes, fake mustaches, and exchanges of "on my honor" oaths that each adhere to the prescribed trends, or else. I'm convinced that this is the way it's done. How else to explain the ever-present twist hem line that popped up everywhere? It's not the most common cut, and yet strikingly similar versions of it made many appearances.
