Runa Ray closed out New York Fashion Week last night with her Spring/Summer 2017 runway show. The collection was inspired by the art of manipulating paper into clothing in infinite ways and paid homage to the great creators of pattern marking. With a nod to ancient Origami and Eastern embroidery, the avant-garde ready-to-wear collection focused on the art of folding and featured over 35 looks. Feminine silhouettes in a monochromatic color palate incorporated a unique blend of suede finished cotton, organza, jute, and silk. Fashion-forward cut bodies also took the runway alongside embroidered flowing kimono-inspired capes, flattering dressing and palazzo pants. The finale truly captured the evolutionary process that takes a garment from a paper sketch to a wearable and versatile contemporary silhouette.
