We’ve seen the “bixie” (a cross between a bob and a pixie cut) and the “mixie” (a mix of the mullet and pixie) but commentator and presenter Zeze Millz proves that the OG pixie cut can’t be beaten.

When I first met Natalie Trevonne, she was working in consulting and moonlighting as a writer eager to share her frustrations with the fashion industry. Trevonne, 33, began her journey as a legally blind woman at age 18, following struggles with corrective surgery after being diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. She went on to report about the ways in which online shopping lacks in accessibility for POPSUGAR in 2021, and about the poor audio description in popular fashion TV shows the following year. In 2023, she wrote about her experience walking in an inclusive, all-blind runway show. Meanwhile, she was preparing to launch her own brand, NYI, which stands for Not Your Inspiration.
Right on schedule, there’s a usual discourse that spreads through social media and industry circles as New York Fashion Week rears its head. The conversations are largely based on the standing question, “Is NYFW dead?” One could argue back and forth surrounding the current direction of the fashion capital, but the looks below were enough to convince me that this fashion week is alive and exceedingly well. (After all, Beyoncé made an appearance.) Established names like Thom Browne and Marc Jacobs took you into worlds that surpassed imaginable levels of stylistic storytelling—they conveyed feelings within the fabrics. Tory Burch and Altuzarra celebrated anniversaries all while continuing to innovate after both having a monumental season in September. (The question filling our group chats and coffee breaks was “Will they be able to top the last?”)

New York’s February 2024 Fashion Week has officially concluded and my moodboard is once again brimming with new-season styling inspiration. Outside of the runway shows that saw the country’s best fashion houses showcase wardrobe-altering designs for autumn/winter 2024, the city’s chicest put on a mesmerising display of their own with looks that we don’t have to wait six months for, but can actually start wearing now. Fitted out in the freshest trends, as well as some undeniably classic pieces, New York Fashion Week’s street-style set exceeded the high expectations that we continue to hold them to.
