New York Fashion Week is off to a flying start, what with **Kanye West’**s highly anticipated collection for Adidas, an event that brought out almost every major musician in the top 40 right now, including Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and Beyoncé. Newcomers on the scene, like CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund alumni Marc Alary and Ryan Roche, made waves in their own ways too, and the list of things we re coveting for fall 2015 is only set to get longer. See the other moments that topped our agenda in the roundup below.
1. North West s Front Row Look at Adidas x Kanye West: It s unclear whether Kanye West is planning to make his new collection in kids sizes, but needless to say, North West s front-row baby military urban look makes us hope he will.
2. Head-to-Toe Cashmere Dressing: The idea of winter white was particularly alluring and luxurious at Ryan Roche s presentation, given all the gorgeous layers of cashmere. And it didn t hurt that the overall look of the collection fell somewhere between Annie Hall and Little House on the Prairie.
3. Colombia s Got Talent: South American designer **Johanna Ortiz’**s crazy-beautiful and exquisitely rendered clothes—all made in Colombia by local factories—are just the way to break out of a cold/dreary/sludgy slump of a start to Fashion Week.
4. Knit Wit: **Lindsay Degen’**s Claes Oldenburg–inspired fully knitted soft sculptures were a refreshing addition to the traditional fashion presentation format.
5. Charmed, Indeed: Carved from exotic wood and dotted with pearls, the elephant charms at jewelry designer Marc Alary s presentation were what beautiful modern talismans are made of.
6. Blue note: Whether your taste in denim skews skinny or wide-legged, **Simon Miller’**s presentation reminded us why living in jeans can be a very stylish lifestyle choice.
