“I was inspired by the British TV show ‘Ready Steady Go!’ and loved the intro: ‘The weekend starts here.’ It gave everyone something to look forward to and introduced you to the coolest new bands. The host, Cathy McGowan, was such a trendsetter, always wearing the latest Mod fashions.” — Michael Economy, Anna Sui
“Ah! The peonies / For which Kusunoki / Took off his armour.” — Kikaku
“For fall, I was inspired by the way I used to dress almost a decade ago, when I was a new mother and just sort of throwing things on myself to wear. I look at old photos and think how natural and timeless those looks were. This season, I’ve introduced softer shapes and colors, still with some drama.” — Batsheva Hay
“Technicolor Dreams” – Wes Gordon, Carolina Herera
“For fall, I explored the narrative of a bridge and tunnel girl — she’s edgy, she’s quirky and she’s slightly disoriented!” — Colin LoCascio
“This season I took a lot of inspiration from the workforce during the Reconstruction after the Civil War and the work that Black folks were doing during this period where they had new freedoms. Pictured in this photograph is my great grandfather outside of his General Supplies store in Richmond, Virginia.” — Connor McKnight
“The inspiration for this collection is ‘Very New York Moments,’ whether downtown or uptown, the New York woman is smart, savy, strong and clearly has her own personal style.” — Dennis Basso

“Kintsugi.” — Shinichiro Ishibashi, Kuon
“Fall became about the idea of taking a psychedelic trip to the desert to seek total transformation.” — Sally LaPointe, LaPointe

“Our physical and digital identities are converging, merging together into one. The Marrisa Wilson NY Fall/Winter 2022 debut runway collection embraces that future and looks forward, towards a brave new world.” – Marrisa Wilson
“This season we are inspired by the Gold Dolphin earrings we wear every day, merging luxury fashion with downtown fashion to create a collection everyone can relate to. ‘The Girls With the Dolphin earrings.’” — Pierre Davis and Autumn Randolph, No Sesso
