The Associated Press reports many models and fashion staffers used stylish boots, ear muffs, sweaters and fur coats to double their impact when they changed inside to stylish and the latest from the year's biggest designers.
"At the end of the day, like any true fashionista, we pull it together," one fashion blogger told the AP. "We gotta bring it."
Highlights Thursday included Tadashi Shoji's throwback to the love movement of the '60s and '70s, inspired by youth revolutions around the world. Models wore vibrant greens, deep reds and splashes of purple -- along with white bandanas as part of a political effort at the Business of Fashion opposing President Donald Trump's immigration ban under the moniker "#TiedTogether."
"More than 50 persons in my company are immigrants," Shoji said, praising love, liberation and unity.
Rihanna favorite Adam Selman also leaned political with large pink buttons in the front row at his NYFW show with the message "Fashion Stands with Planned Parenthood." On-stage, however, the focus was on fun party dresses, cowgirl denim and '70s sparkle.
