NYFW vs. PWF

New York and Paris hold their own in fashion, greatly influenced by their cultures. Trends are often influenced by a cultures history and previous lifestyles which held true for New York Fashion week. Runway shows are a performance, often putting together outlandish looks that are unpractical for the typical fashion loving street walker.  Every fashion week I take more note on the attendees, because they turn high fashion looks into something wearable.

NYFW Street Style: While many New Yorkers and fashion week tourists are pushing the boundaries with new looks, they all stay true to the New York Style. Classic black remains a staple, as well as jumpsuits and colorful patterns.  In general, the spring looks are playful and fresh. 

PFW Street Style:  Like New York, Black is the most consistent trend that will continue to be reinvented every season. Throughout the years color has been gradually added to "La Parisienne's" wardrobe. For spring 2014, designers are adding pops of color and geometric inspired shapes. A common trend seen on many street walkers are structured-edgy shaped clothing. Bright colored pattern pants seem to be a common trend between PFW and NYFW.
