Instead of focusing on what’s trendy this fashion week, Posture’s Fashion Editor takes you through some of New York Fashion Week’s top therapeutic shows that transport us out of the unsettling reality of today by providing disruptive social commentary, nostalgia of our carefree youth, and a shared hope of a more paradisiacal future.
THE BLONDS
Inspired by their love of music and the artists that inspire them most, David and Phillipe Blond worked with reflective materials and playful silhouettes to create their own version of a platinum paradise.

MAISON THE FAUX
Maison The Faux’s SS18 collection offers mermaid dresses in sequins and striped tulle, red plastic bags, and graphic prints to create an alternate universe in which everyone can be themselves by letting go of mass media’s idea of what is trendy and beautiful.
