Politics

Disgust with Donald Trump continues to bubble over in New York and resonates well with the largely female clientele of luxury fashion labels-not to mention a Democrat-voting, diverse group of designers.

Tory Burch offered an ode to happiness to escape troubled times. Retailer alice + olivia had a model pose in front of a feminist wall and offered a Super Woman clutch.

Raf Simons, whose show for Calvin Klein was the week's stand out, meditated on the American dream meets American horror.

Rihanna-favorite Matthew Adams Dolan says that in times of "relentless civil unrest and widening political divides", he reimagined a "working wardrobe for an inclusive and celebratory generation".

Diversity

Continuing a theme, perhaps snubbing their nose at Trump's assault on minorities, the notoriously snooty world of fashion is starting to relax is rules of membership.

Plus-size models are having a moment in the sun, see Ashley Graham walking for Prabal Gurung and Michael Kors, not to mention plus-size only collections from Addition Elle and Chromat.
