I Shop For A Living & This Is What’s Dominating My Fashion Week Mood Board
Showstoppers worthy of your fall rotation.
For fashion insiders and devotees alike, September is the month to see and be seen. As New York Fashion Week draws to a close, it’s hard not to feel inspired by the SS27 runway moments, as well as by what the A-listers in the front row and tastemakers on the street were donning. As a shopping writer, I’m already in full swing planning outfits for the coming seasons that incorporate some of that Fashion Week energy. And because I don’t like to gatekeep, scroll on for what’s all over my mood board, from cool-girl printed accessories to stop-what-you’re-doing knit dresses.
