New York Fashion Week SS15 day two saw the likes of Marissa Webb; Peter Som; Jason Wu; Tanya Taylor; Wes Gordon; Rebecca Minkoff; Adam Selman; and Nonoo take the runway. With it being the second day, we’re starting to see some trends forming – such as khaki green, obi belts, shirt dresses, and of course the minimal trend is alive and kicking. Take a peek at some of our favourite pieces of the day, what we loved about them and what we didn’t love so much.
