Featuring emerging designers For New York Fashion Week is exciting and in keeping with the ethos of my blog. Today I highlight the work of The Amme Collection and George +Ginger.
Lets begin with The Amme Collection. This is a New York based designer who was inspired with creative ideas from childhood. Her line first focused on accessories, but later branched out to include garments that,
“are intentionally constructed to be unique in some shape or form either by the style of the fabric used or through detailing.”
Shante creates a line that is devoted to the essence of self-expression through fashion and the specific gift of being unique. This line is devoted to her late grandmother Emma; thus the name AMME, which is Emma spelled backwards.

Featuring Emerging Designers: First Highlights of The Amme Collection.
Below we see lustrous fabric tailored to look and feel, both comfortable and luxurious.
Here we see a perfect shade of rosy pink and the graceful stride of a model. How beautiful is this image , with the black and gold shoes adding an exciting bit of edge and contrast.
Twirling in turquoise below. This runway show is full of lustrous color.
Jewel tones are certainly trending. You, who follow me, know that I love my jewels and the saturated colors of each one. Sapphire blue beckons below.
Enthusiastic applause closes this runway show. Featuring emerging designers has a special , more intimate feel than other runway shows.
Switching gears a bit, I want to share two of my favorite dresses from George + Ginger, a pattern making design company that was on the same day of NYFW.
I love that these looks are accessible!
You saw this recently on Instagram.
How about this appliquéd perfection in canary diamond yellow !
Yes, please. Who is with me here!
Fringe moves perfectly when a graceful model walks the runway!

Closing with a shot of me wearing my new red patent leather trench for NYFW.
Tip: the only must-haves for this season seems to be these:
A strong umbrella and a waterproof coat!
I really enjoyed covering these emerging designers and witnessing dreams coming into fruition.
Is there anything better than that?
I hope, dear readers that you are safe and well. Again, to my readers who are in the eye of the storm, I wish you Godspeed.

How fun to experience these show with you, Elle! That sapphire blue dress is just like the one I wore recently for my friends’ 20th anniversary vow renewal! Glorious colours, and I adore that 70s-inspired fringed dress. Thank you so much for bringing this glimpse to us!
Your red patent coat is delicious!!
No wonder that blue dress was so familiar! I did enjoy the deep colors and the movement of that fringe dress was lovely.
❤️ Elle
The collection is beautiful! I adore the sapphire and yellow dresses, so pretty! I also love the brooches, too. Thanks for introducing these designers to us. I wasn’t able to attend NYFW this year, but I love attending shows showcasing emerging designers. The energy is always so good and the work is so original.

Thanks Gemma,
It truly was. A lovely showcase go to admire.

Such a fascinating time for you, watching all these shows and getting inspired by them (and sharing that with us – big thank you!). I love both designers you have introduced in this blogpost. I love the idea behind the AMME collection, both being unique and traditional (I mean, devoting your brand to your grandma for me sounds like someone who loves traditions). As for the George + Ginger collection: that canary yellow dress is so super cute! Love, Lieske
Lieske,
Yes it was a wonderful time. While I was not feeling my best I was able to attend some very inspiring shows. There is so much heart and some of these collections.
❤️ Elle
No wonder that there was that enthusiastic applause! The fashion is a dream – and your outfit with the coat, too! Thanks for sharing all the amazing inspirations and impressions, dear Elle!
