NYFW Ones to Watch: Bronx and Banco AW22 Show

Australian designer Natalie Banco brought her signature bejeweled designs to NYFW in her breakout show this season. The glamorous event was held at an iconic NYC location at the Bowery Hotel. The star-studded event attracted NYFW's most stylish crowd including fashion TikTok star Caroline Vazzanna, as well as celebs like Taylen Biggs, Patrick Starr, and more. 

The front row was filled with sparkling and colorful outfits that fit the theme of the show "One night in Paris". It was definitely a great place for spotting NYFW statement looks and several guests even wore pieces from the Bronx and Banco line. The event began with cocktails and guests enjoyed sipping on sparkling champagne and mingling before heading into the show. 

The show opened with bright and glittering statement looks that were made for a night out in Paris. 

The collection like many others at NYFW this season showed bright neon shades for winter. My favorite thing about this collection were the accessories by Marzook. The oversized bedazzled purses shaped like lipsticks and hearts as well as other fun shapes echoed the collection's playful and girly vibe. The dress One of my favorite looks was this brightly colored outfit with the oversized bow a daring twist on a  classic Parisian detail. This collection had something for everyone and showcased looks for those who wanted to make a bold statement with the season's trendy cutout style as well as looks for fun loving fashionistas. Some of the pieces definitely reminded me of the Emily in Paris style with a blend of French fashion mixed with street style trends. This refreshing collection dispensed with any attempts to put on false airs of sophistication and embraced the fun and youthful side of fashion. It was a welcome presentation from the seriousness of the past many have felt during the past several years of the pandemic. This collection is made for the girl who wants to embrace spontaneity and maybe even end up spending one night in Paris while still being taken just as seriously all while wearing a bit of sparkle. The upbeat show was a great way to kick off NYFW and I can't wait to see what fun and flirty designs this designer will come up with next.
