FashionWalking Manhattan: From Orchid to Carroll Gardens

Fall is in the air throughout all of Manhattan–a walk down Orchid Street in the East Village, a walk across Manhattan Bridge, a stroll through Brooklyn Heights and Montague Street, and a trip to Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens. Pumpkins, salted caramel, brisk air and warm drinks are just a few things that come to mind as fall approaches! Boots, leather jacket, fur vest and leather gloves are must-haves for cool outdoor walks.

FashionWalking Manhattan, NYC: 57th Street

The best time to walk around New York City in the Fall is 7PM–my walk back home from work. When the sun sets and reflects off of all the skyscrapers in midtown, the sky turns to a subdued hue of purple and pink and all of Midtown's stores light up the streets.

Ruffles, lace, tulle, layers and prints recall scenes from Proust's À La Recherche du Temps Perdu. Many of Zimmermann's looks featured the off-the-shoulder trend that seems to be very popular throughout New York Fashion Week and will definitely be seen as we make our way to Spring 2017. A perfect balance of light layers, sheer, and long sleeved crop tops make Zimmermann's outfit a perfect addition to everyone's Spring wardrobe.
