It may have been a Monday for our live reviewers Mahlich and Hill but as far as they were concerned, thanks to the vibrant energy that both LaQuan Smith and Area brought to NYFW, it felt like a Friday night. Both shows presented classic New York glamour and opulence, with people like Mary J Blige and Real Housewives of Atlanta's Marlo Hampton present on the front row at LaQuan Smith.
This palpable buzz felt in the crowd and seen on the clothes carried through to the Area show where creative director Piotrek Panszczyk proved he was more than worthy with a knowledge of fashion history seen in the clothes. References harkened back to Yves Saint Laurent's Le Smoking suit, the house of Ungaro and a contemporary take on 80s power dressing - all stamped with Area's distinct rigour.
