This year’s New York Fashion Week Spring 2021 looks a bit different than we’re used to. Unsure what to expect, designers debuted their collections during the COVID-19 global pandemic with limited attendees, a safer, spaced-out location, and even several options to watch the fashion show. Some designers kept to live, socially distant runways with celebs, photographers, editors, influencers, and overall fashionistas in the front row, some collections were shown by taking a different approach and instead, created a digital runway allowing everyone to take part in the shows from the comfort of their own home.So what are the trends for Spring 2021 NYFW and our favorite designers’ new collections?
