Even in the midst of an entirely new way of doing Fashion Week [1], the smaller crowds of showgoers are turning out a new season of street style. We wondered what we might see from the style set at New York Fashion Week, and as the shows, from Christian Siriano [2], Rebecca Minkoff, and Jason Wu, drew handfuls of editors and insiders to their catwalks, we got our answer.

Like Copenhagen [3], the looks are pared down and far more personal [4] rather than trendy. There's an emphasis on casual clothing — though the occasional feathered gown does make an appearance — on sneakers, jeans, and streetwear. And still, don't discount the inspiration you'll find here. From cool takes on fall knits to remixed suiting, these are the looks giving us a reason to get excited about fashion all over again.
