It’s a new mood for spring 2016 fashion. Call it “found chic.” Carefree, layered and mismatched — nothing that looks like you’re trying too hard.
The drive to create something individual and handmade, or at least the illusion of something individual and handmade, could be felt across several collections shown Thursday at New York Fashion Week, starting with mega-brand BCBGMaxAzria, which is the antithesis of small and special with massive production runs and 570 stores worldwide.
The look was L.A. vagabond, mismatched print kimonos, board shorts, sweater pants, Baja hoodies, patchwork bucket hats and fringed moccasin booties.
