On the first three days of New York Fashion Week, runways full of perfectly respectable clothes were punctuated by flashes of something more eloquent, writes Lynn Yaeger.

Helmut Lang, led by designer Peter Do, will kick off the Autumn/Winter 2024 edition of New York Fashion Week, running from Feb. 9 to 14.

The second half of New York Fashion Week suggested the season wasn’t just about 90s influences but gossamer fabrics, trawling nets, big jackets over tiny skirts and when in doubt lace, lace, lace, reports Lynn Yaeger.
