Hello Divas! One of our fave shows during New York Fashion Week is NOLCHA – the fashion runway for international and emerging designers. And of course, they made this season pop!

Lavanya Coodly debuted a line of handcrafted menΓÇÖs & womenswear, inspired by existential travel.

Streetwear goes out of this world in the Seven Crash runway collection, inspired this season by ΓÇ£Gliese 581DΓÇ¥ΓÇöa planet which is 20.4 light years away. It was a mix of leather and wovens that illustrate beauty between outer space and the real world.

Spanish designer Sonia Olla kicked off her runway with a live flamenco performance, and her collection is inspired by the art of the dance.

Vitruvius, a collective from Canada, went back in time for its oversized structures of Venetian costume such as ruffles, shoulder pads and billowing sleeves.

Through BC.J, the Chinese brand based in Shanghai and New York, designer SIJUN presented an extremely personal, emotional narrative, sculpting womenswear pieces inspired by the vibrant colors of the neon signs and city skyline of Tokyo.

Making its way down the runway for the first time, ARANYANI is a collection of luxury hand-painted leather bags for men and women, designed by Indian artists.

Even students claimed the runway as their own as Stevenson University showcased a collection designed, sourced and produced by students who were inspired by The Evolution of Bjork.
