New York After 10 days of fashion shows, its hard to imagine theres a boundary left to push, a color thats gone unused or a silhouette that hasnt been relaxed. While the collections were all over the map (and in some cases, the maps were all over the collections), there were a few big takeaways from the spring and summer 2015 shows at the now-completed New York Fashion week.

Optimism Is Chic

If there is one phrase that sums up much of the spring season at New York Fashion Week, Michael Kors had it: Optimistic chic.

His collection brought many of the weeks trends together, including 1950s-inspired circle skirts and crop tops: garden florals and embroideries; natural hues; gingham checks; spare, simple accessories and shoes made for walking.

The Oscar de la Renta and Diane von Furstenberg collections had similar feel good vibes, with classic ladylike styles.

Flowers Empower

Florals are a perennial favorite for the spring and summer collections, but the runways served up a bigger bouquet than usual. Floral motifs came in a range of forms: feathers arranged into a floral pattern on a coat at Thom Brownes garden-party-on-acid show, delicate yellow blossom embroideries on a sheer organza skirt at Kors and scattered stems printed on a fur coat at de la Renta.

On the mens side, Jack Spade mustered an urban floral army that included a chambray allover-floral suit and a flower-infused take on camo. David Harts retro-inspired menswear included a pair of linen trousers with a bold palm print inspired by the wallpaper at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and J. Lindebergs rock-meets-botany Biotopia collection included a black leather jacket with a back panel covered in white hand-painted daisies.

But it was Jerremy Scotts Psychedelic Jungle collection that served up the most fantastical flora of the week acid-drenched aloha shirts, flower-festooned babydoll dresses, button-front shirts and patchwork pants with the kind of bold blossoms not seen since the Rowan & Martins Laugh-in circa 1972.
