Here are some of the highlights from the penultimate major day of New York Fashion Week shows. 

Though diversely expressed through design and style, one thing was clear as crystal. The runway shows and collections celebrated women — women who are liberated, confident and inhibition-free, ready to take on the world and shape the future. Dare to be and be free to choose.

Tory Burch and Coach celebrated women and freedom, turning fashion into a form of resistance. In a different style, the Moncler Grenoble collection took the fashion world on a mountain voyage with stylish skiwear in highly feminine and sophisticated designs.

The Blonds, headed by Phillipe and Davide Blond, is known for juxtaposing feminine silhouettes with an eclectic mix of materials. Cue opulent glamour with a twist of rebellion on the runway. 

Celebrating fashion diversity and feminine empowerment, Anniesa Hasibuan, an Indonesian fashion designer mesmerised with a hajib collection meant for royalty.
