Everything That Happened Day 3 of New York Fashion Week

Day Three of New York Fashion Week tests the phrase "too much of a good thing." With more than 30 style events in just 12 hours, the runways risked becoming a beautiful blur—but a few standouts moments made their mark.

A high school marching band, a dance party, a series of elegant but hardly stuffy clothes. This was a dreamy runway, and not just because at 9 am, most attendees were still a little sleepy. In fact, thanks to the swingy, silky pants and real-life-ready jumpsuits, it was a satisfying wake-up call.

Dear Ms. Burch, thank you for the delicious brunch at your morning fashion show.

Behold model Maria Borges in a perfect spring look. Softly sporty and infused with movement and vigor, the fit is part of Victor Glemauds next collection. With its 70s vibe and modern fan base, Glemaud keeps getting hotter—and because the designer is a knitwear artiste with incredible skill, itll keep everyone snuggly and warm, too.

“Who gets to be American?” asked the designer, and his collection roared an answer with tie dye knitwear, black jacquard jackets, and an all-white look with angel-winged shoulders for Gurungs muse Varsha Thapa.
