Fashion month has officially started in New York City. For the first time since the pandemic started, the fashionable folk have descended on the streets of the Big Apple to parade from show to show in the finest fits. Of course, they’re all carrying the season’s hottest accessory: a vaccination card.
It’s also a moment for the biggest trends of summer and fall to come out to play. After all, it’s still 80 degrees in the city, but our minds are set on the sight of falling leaves and the feel of cozy knit sweaters. But when the summer refuses to relinquish its lingering heat, there’s only one option left: dress accordingly.
Outside the shows, Y2K-inspired low-rise jeans, tube tops, and cut-outs helped attendees battle high temperatures, as did a plethora of mesh dresses, barely-there crop tops, and subversive basics. Still, fall vibes made an appearance in the form of cowboy and rain boots perfect for stomping around the city.
The week is just getting started, but the fashion is already reviving our sweatsuit-clad quarantine selves. Keep an eye out for upcoming looks ahead.

And the time to peruse its lookbook — full of structured military-style coats, whimsical tulle dresses, pastel-colored knitwear, and work-ready monochrome suits — is here. On Wednesday, Target revealed the lookbook for the 180-piece multi-designer collection, whose pieces will retail from $15 to $80 and will come in sizes XXS to 4X.
Each creative brings their singular flare to the collection, tailoring some of fall’s biggest trends to a quartet of sought-after aesthetics. While Victor Glemaud has stayed true to the brand’s knack for chunky, luxurious yet wearable knitwear, Sandy Liang is tapping into cottagecore with bib collars and picnic-ready black-and-white dresses. Nili Lotan is bringing her signature minimalism with slip dresses and striped long-sleeved shirts, while avant-garde trailblazer Rachel Comey is stepping into tie-dye, as well as the season’s menswear-inspired tailoring.
Once we’ve finished ogling, we can set our alarms early for September 25, when the collection hits Target.com, as well as IRL locations nationwide. Come three Saturdays from now, you know where you’ll find us.
In the meantime, start choosing your picks with the lookbook. And get ready to pounce. Believe me, it will sell out fast.
