Which looks from New York Fashion Week are really going to move the needle? Leave it to Vogue Fashion Director Virginia Smith to pinpoint the ruffled dresses, patchwork skirts, and jeans that will trigger trends, show up on red carpets, and otherwise remain in our memory for the next six months. In New York, her Top 10 list spanned the week’s biggest themes, from a celebration of heritage (Ralph Lauren’s 50th anniversary show) to exhilarating outings from new-gen designers (Eckhaus Latta, Gypsy Sport, Pyer Moss) and an appreciation for emotional, flat-out beautiful clothes (as seen at Rodarte’s fairy-tale show and Brock Collection’s breakfast event). Scroll through all 10 of Smith’s favorite moments below—and come back later this month for her highlights from Europe.
