As trends emerge at New York Fashion Week, so do style stars like Law Roach and Angela Bassett — while “The Battle of Versailles” celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Whew! What a week — New York Fashion Week (NYFW) — and it’s not over yet! As the Spring-Summer ’24 collections continue to make their way down the runways, trends are emerging, and fond memories are being revived.
Take, for instance,
Making good on his promise to branch out following his retirement from styling celebrity clients, Law Roach left the front row this Fashion Week to become creative director of Falguni Shane Peacock’s Spring-Summer ’24 presentation. Bringing a streetwear edge to the Indian luxury label, sweatsuit separates and baseball caps were effortlessly mixed with elaborately beading and details, giving us ample inspiration for high-low style.

Whether onscreen or off, Angela Bassett is always a joy to watch, and New York Fashion Week is no exception. Following the Pamella Roland show, the Oscar nominee dropped by the Waldorf Astoria Lounge wearing a sequined pantsuit that hit all the right style notes.
Who’s the next big thing in fashion? We’re rooting for everybody Black — and so is the Black in Fashion Council, which once again partnered with IMG to launch the Black in Fashion Council Showrooms, presented by Rakuten. Tia Adeola, Fumi The Label, footwear designer Téjahn Burnett and more are all displaying their collections this week, hopefully on a path to major runway moments in future seasons.
Black is fierce; Black is fit. That was the message in activewear brand Actively Black’s NYFW presentation. With well-known faces like Malik Yoba, Affion Crockett and collaborators FUBU gracing the runway and Allen Iverson in the crowd, the brand made its mark on New York Fashion Week — and made us eager to return to the gym.
