Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan Blends Beauty & Biker for Fall 2014 Collection

Late into the second day of Fashion Week, the audience sat in the Mercedes-Benz Pavilion anticipating up-and-coming designer Jackie Fraser-Swan’s latest collection.  In attendance at the Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan show were fresh-faced celebrities and editors that cater to a youthful demographic. The Pavilion is a new room in the Tents with runways that overlap in an “X” format and walls printed in a sophisticated stone texture.

The edgy, punk-inspired brand has launched one of the strongest collections of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. The layering of dresses, leather, biker jackets, plaid, and strong prints resulted in a powerful collection with hints of femininity. The leather and structured skirts were balanced by pieces in pink knit and chiffon with draped detailing.

 

While some looks were head-to-toe leather and heavily structured materials, others were elegant designs of draped chiffon with cowl necklines. Button-down dresses had dark chiffon sleeves and structured collars. The black and white color story was strong throughout this collection – this graphic trend is going strong on the runways and streets this season.

The finale gowns consisted of youthful cutouts, and evening wear was a mature and sophisticated. My favorite looks from Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan were her glamorous mixes of sequins and chiffon cutouts. To wrap up the show, the designer walked out at the end of the runway with her four children and concluded the runway with eye candy for the audience. I am certain that everyone is looking forward to seeing more from Jackie Fraser-Swan next season on the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week runways.

Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan online store will be coming soon, she currently is sold in boutiques in the NYC area.
