New York Fashion Week 2022 The trends and runways for the 2022 spring season Teyte Holcomb Lifestyle Editor This week, designers and models from all around the world have once again come together to show off the new trends and looks for the spring 2022 season. With well-known designers, like Tom Ford, to more niche collections like Peter Do, this year’s fashion week has something for everyone. Even though the collections are diverse and unique they all had one thing in common, color. As yet another pandemic filled spring season emerges, the trends at fashion week are showing us what to expect for the warmer months. Another big theme this year is an emphasis on street style. From hot pink coats to metallic leather pants, retro-futuristic fashion is making a comeback. Originally popularized in the late 80s and early 90s, this dystopian style of fashion is seeing a refresh. Designers like Christian Siriano and Maisie Wilen are hopping on the trend by showcasing looks of what their version of a post-pandemic world will look like. Though street style around the city has largely already reflected these trends, not every designer is embracing the Y2K aesthetic. Designer Ulla Johnson’s ideas of spring fashion included more neutral earth tones. With colors like pale green and light brown, Johnson’s collection focused on more practical pieces for the warmer months. On the flip side, DC based design

Boyle Ravipudi, a Los Angeles-based law firm that specializes in personal injury and wrongful death claims. Originally from the Ukraine, Hutchins was killed just as her career was beginning to take off in a largely male-dominated field. Hutchins graduated from the American Film Institute Conservatory in 2015 and had been selected as one of American Cinematographer’s Rising Stars of 2019. She was starting to make a bigger name for herself after a string of indie features like “Archenemy,” “Blindfire” and “The Mad Hatter.” Before getting into feature films, she worked as an investigative journalist on British documentary productions. Her death highlighted the difficult working conditions, including long working hours, many crew members face on film sets. On the day of the shooting, crew members walked off the set to protest working conditions and lack of safety protocols, including accidental gun discharges, the Los Angeles Times reported. Days before the shooting, Gutierrez Reed was chastised by the film’s line producer, Gabrielle Pickle, for leaving guns unattended. The production also scolded her for not doing enough to support Zachry, the prop master. Gutierrez Reed protested the demand that she devote more time to her props role, saying she needed to pay attention to gun safety, according to emails viewed by the Times. entertainment.ed@ocolly.com
