For trendsetters and street style stars filling up the streets outside the New York Fashion Week venues, ‘what to wear’ is always a priority. Some of the girls are stocking up on statement pieces throughout the year investing large sums of money on their wardrobe updates, those with many social media followers borrow from the designers, while others want to look equally stylish without spending a fortune of eye-catching fashion. In all three categories, you see the urge for something new, fresh, or of the moment. Let’s go through suggestions that keep you to the forefront as fashion week gorgeous attendee. February 2020 belongs to your style sense and photogenic powers!
The Sant handbags. Handcrafted to perfection at the centuries-old local industry businesses (more than half of the residents work in the trade) in a remote picturesque rocky landscape called Ubrique, between two biodiverse natural parks, in Southern Spain’s region of Andalusia, 75 miles south of Seville, these handbags look way more expensive than their retail price. The traditional artisanal approach charmingly contradicts modern design. The capsule collection currently online on their website is inspired by Japanese tradition. The Kinchaku (mini & regular size), Furoshiki, Obi, and Shiromuku in earthy tones (olive shade is a must-have) will all been seen on showgoers at the New York Fashion Week.
Naturae Sacra handbags. Designed in Milan and handmade in Turkey, these minimalist handbags with signature one-of-a-kind resin handles are instantly eye-catching. Referencing Hans Arp’s ‘Silence’ series of sculpture, the Arp (mini & regular size) will also be a top choice among styles to rock to the fashion week.
Nike collaboration sneakers, Y3 sneakers (Adidas) and Adidas Originals. Luxe versions of throwback styles by the leaders in sportswear are this season way more coveted that designer sneakers by the likes of Prada, Burberry, Alexander McQueen and Gucci. The Nike x Olivia Kim W Air Force 1 07 with a Betty Boop image, the Nike Air Max 90 Classic in fun color combos, the Nike Dunk Hi Nylon TZ, the Off-White x Nike Waffle Racer SP, the Nike x Off-White Zoom Vapor, the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro OG, the Y-3 Kaiwa Low-Top, the Adidas Originals by Alexander Wang, the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350, and the Adidas by Farrell Williams will infuse street style with post-gym vibes.

In chilly weather you might need to combine them with knitted tights and boots. They are completely fun to wear!
Aeyde boots. Perfectly made in Italy at family-owned factories in designs that balance luxury to modern reality, these boots are complementary to your statement fashion week outfits. This Berlin-based direct-to-consumer online fashion brand was launched in 2015 by Luisa Dames and Constantin Langholz-Baikousis. The dash stitch detail is the signature of the brand.
