Designers Ryan Lobo and Ramon Martin of TOME <\/strong>conveyed many messages for Fall 2017, with political, ethical, sustainable, playful, intellectual and sensual themes. However, \u201cMy Body My Choice!\u201d was a powerful mantra which resonated throughout the collection The sustainability aspect was approached in the form of recycling gloves, plastic coats, cotton shirts, and corsetry from all of their previous seasons. The colour palette of the collection was quite muted, with warm golds, sun-bleached oranges, sky blue, and subtle browns- yet the textures of the fabrics created depth that elevated the dresses on display. In addition to the understated hues for an extra touch, the designers included Peruvian Alpaca as detailing on some coats and blazers, which were hand-knitted by women\u2019s collectives in the Andes.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, designer Louis Verdad’s Los Angeles-based label Verdad<\/strong> debuted its Fall\/Winter 2017 collection on the runways of New York City. Targeted toward Millenial wearers, the collection was sleek, relatable and wearable, with inspiration drawn from the effortlessly stylish streets of Los Angeles. As a result, dresses, separates and tops made their appearance in a range of dark colours, with floral and watercolour prints combined with crisp cream looks and shimmering palettes. The collection also highlighted silk chiffon skirts, and thick and oversized sweaters which were artfully layered. <\/p>\n Led by Berlin-based designers Nan Li and Emilia Pfohl, Namilia<\/strong> combined diverse aspects of street wear, motocross and haute couture. Models strut down the runway in camouflage and checkerboard prints with chunky buckled boots. The collection was especially masculine and sporty, yet mixed with the main silhouettes of haute couture shapes. Chaps, bustiers, bodysuits and oversized moto jackets were shown on the runway, embellished with sporty detailing, metallics, and colourblocking. For a standout look, camo tool belts and seat belts were clipped around the waists of models, and held butterfly wings and flames in place. In addition, the flame motif protruded from the sleeves of oversized hoodies and igloo puffer jackets. <\/p>\n Francesca Liberatore<\/strong><\/p>\n Photo: francescaliberatoreofficial on Instagram<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n Major Looks: <\/strong>Striking stripes, tailored coats, bold red and blue tones<\/p>\n Tome <\/strong><\/p>\n Photo: Vogue Runway <\/em><\/p>\n Major Looks: <\/strong>Muted soft tones, metallics, elegant frocks, contrasting textures<\/p>\n Verdad<\/strong><\/p>\n Photo: verdadofficial on Instagram<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n Major Looks:<\/strong> Edgy dark hues, flowing dresses, silky touches<\/p>\n Namilia<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.realstylenetwork.com\/fashion-and-style\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/LIBERATORE.jpg\")
