For S/S 2015, Charlotte Ronson presented an excitingly feminine dream to the MBFW crowd at The Hudson Hotel. The fashionable crowd first found quotes from classic style icons, such as Elizabeth Taylor, while taking in tunes spun by esteemed DJ Samantha Ronson, renditions of Purple Rain. This collection was all about the fun and flirty empowered female. And with inspired fashion icons to help lead the way, it’s no surprise this presentation showcased looks any woman would be proud and happy to don!

This collection hit a stride on finding a delicate balance between opposite ends of the fashionable spectrum. The looks were soft and easy-going, yet still screamed “I am a strong, empowered, very feminine woman.” The looks were fun and flirty, yet still have the capability of showing off a little sexiness. Also, there was a clear mod, 60s inspiration, but the looks were still updated and very modern with trends such as sheer overlay, lace detailing, and trendy silhouettes.
