Day 2 of Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week continued with avant-garde designs by future fashion authorities, such as Asher Levine & Brandon Sun. The continuing trend was bold color blocking & a prominent eastern influence from designers including Bumsuk Choi of GENERAL IDEA & the collective show by CONCEPT KOREA. A notable favorite of the day was the breathtaking show by JEN KAO, which featured a stunning collection of equestrian inspired looks.
