    049. The Last Word - New York Fashion Week SS24

    Welcome to Season 4 of The Manic Metallic Podcast! We're kicking off the season by doing a last word on New York Fashion Week's SS24 collections (and we will try to do the same for London, Milan, and Paris, time-dependent, of course). We've broken down the shows into five categories: Initial Thoughts (shows that, for better or worse, we wanted to elaborate on a bit more)Perennially Chic (shows by brands/designers that are, well, perennially chic)Collections That Were Nice, But Not Groundbreaking (self-explanatory)Honorable Mentions (shows that were fine, but I didn't feel compelled to elaborate further on them)Keep An Eye On (Design brands that are young/youngish and that have a bright future in the industry) We elaborate where necessary and we don't when we don't feel that it is warranted. If we get to have this format of episode for the fashion weeks in the other three cities mentioned above, this same format will hold true. What did you think about NYFW this past season? DM us at Manic Metallic, and let's talk!
