Twice a year, the fashion-industry elite flock to NYC to see the latest and greatest designs at New York Fashion Week. The city is abuzz with models, photographers, magazine editors, stylists and celebrities. With runways and presentations all over Manhattan, the WanderLust Girls strapped on their stilettos and got Nfocus the inside scoop.

South Carolina-based designer Minh Le showcased her boldly colorful and elegant collection — 831MINHLE — with a playful presentation. As we strolled into a speakeasy in “sceney” Tribeca, the location’s vibrant decor and whimsical patterns set the stage for a joyful fashion experience. Stylish attendees sipped on pink cocktails and moseyed amongst garments, as getting a close-up look at designs is a perk of fashion week presentations.

Minh reinvented classic shapes such as a trendy vest paired with a voluminous tulle skirt, a column dress with oversized rosettes, and a truly high-fashion halter top with a structured skirt. Be on the lookout for exaggerated floral accents for spring 2024!

Vietnamese brand SIXDO — designed by Do Manh Cuong — made a remarkably memorable entrance to New York Fashion Week. Street-style photographers outside of Spring Studios were in a frenzy capturing avant-garde attendees, and the front row was filled with notable names wearing radiant pieces from his last collection. As the lights dimmed, we could feel the anticipation building.

Maximalism was on full display, thanks to oversized floral appliqués, billowing silhouettes and polka dot pandemonium. Black, white and pink looks strutted the runway as guests gasped. Fashion photographer Nigel Barker was overhead commenting, “That was reminiscent of vintage Chanel.” In 2024, SIXDO is launching retail spaces in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Miami, and we truly cannot wait to get our hands on these designs.

Cavanagh Baker beautifully represented Nashville-based designers at New York Fashion Week. We hailed a cab and hustled over to the Lower East Side for the presentation of her Spring/Summer 2024 collection. The space featured vintage vignettes that contrasted the models’ glamour.

Baker highlighted high-shine fabrics and romantic details, and metallic moments could be found around every corner. Our ultimate favorite was a glistening hooded gown — a guaranteed showstopper for red carpets and galas.
