Air Chanel would not be complete with pilots and co-pilots, donning collar-less suits with Chanel pinned ties. That was the scene at Chanel's SS16 collection complete with four-wheel Chanel luggage and a platinum-haired Baptiste Giabiconi ready to take off but not without a farewell kiss for co-pilot Hudson Kroenig from Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld.

As he did last season, John Galliano tapped a handful of men to wear his latest creations for Maison Margiela. For SS16, there were strong Sci-Fi influences mixed with fishnet tops and nautical rope straps like that seen on a repurposed dress.

A holiday somewhere romantic was the starting off point of Alessandro Michele's latest womenswear collection for Gucci. A handful of men's looks crept into the collection, of these there were lace shorts paired with a kitschy floral crochet top as well as pattern-heavy suits reminiscent of the 70s, of flower children and a bit of subversive, like the spiked sandals.

Anthony Vaccarello's appointment at Versus Versace seems to be paying off: sales are up. For the upcoming season, the Belgian-Italian designer stayed through to the sexy and hard-edge he's trumpeted during his short tenure at Versus. There were super chic leather jackets, especially a leather vest paired, as well as floral patterned outerwear which added a bit of dimension to the monochromatic looks. The menswear offerings were capped off with a tattooed model donning a lacey shirt, suspenders and slim black jeans.

A splattering of menswear at Hunter Original's SS16 show complemented the bondage vibes seen in the womenswear collection. Straps of fabrics hung off sporty jackets while a woven sash on the arms of a slicker brought the idea home. There were also hints of paint splatter-cum-camo patterns as well as grommet holed jackets paired with printed button shorts.

As J.Crew repositions its offerings to center more towards "heritage" pieces and away from capital-F Fashion, its latest collection could hint at what's to come. There were relaxed silhouettes, with many a pant wrinkles and crinkled, gave an island-life vibe while sun-faded hues littered the entire collection from a straw-hued jacket to drab olive military coat over a slim suit worn with trainers.

No better word summed up Anna Sui's Spring/Summer 2016 collection other than "Aloha". The tropical collection combined the New York-based designer's famous bo-ho patterns with a relaxed series of looks, complete with a tropical drink.

After a small presentation during NYFWM, Malan Breton showcases his menswear collection durinf NYFW a few months later, showing a similar array of designs inspired by his native Taiwan. The result was a pattern-heavy take on tailoring and sportswear, melding a bit of athleticism, seen in the more relaxed fit, allowing for movement.

Telfar's ultra-cool label took us to the jungle for SS16, there were military-inspired designs with lots of drab olive hues while lighter looks like a plum safari outfit were cheeky and fun. Gender lines continue to be blurred here as men and women were matching outfits, clutching little bags or donning body hugging asymmetrical tops, fluid pants and leather flats.

Asia was on Vivienne Tam's mind as the New York-based label created her latest collection. There were Chinese dragon motifs and Mahjong prints seen on jackets, shorts and robes while mesh tank tops and a laid back silhouette rounded out the collection.

Jeremy Scott is famous in a way that other designers are not. Though not (yet) a household name, pop culture watchers and business people know him, from his friendship with pop's biggest stars like Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry, to the magic he worked at Moschino, reviving its dusty halls with relevance. For SS16, the 60s came back to life with a showing that felt very much like the LA-based designer but noticeably pared back and almost methodically predictable: think hold prints and pop-art graphics. Could it be that the cerebral designs that put him on top be fading or is the new workload taking a toll?

Nicopanda's floral-tinged and sexually ambiguous Spring/Summer 2016 collection played on dressing in a fun presentation full of fantasy, with frothy tops and long mesh jerseys to a metallic bomber to technical fabrics seen on knits and oversized biker jackets.

Public School's assent to the upper echelons of fashion has almost been like a fairytale, from tiny menswear presentations to earning the backing of the CFDA and Vogue via their Fashion Fund. For SS16, there were only a handful of men's looks since the bulk of the duo's men's designs debuted in July during NYFWM. But here, the designs were androgynous and genderless, with a strong focus on quality of design.

Underneath the outre and often ostentatious designs at Hood by Air is an actual narrative, one that needs to be more explored more or at least talked about more. For SS16, the label's designer Shayne Olivier played with the idea of kids in urban areas often being the inspiration for many high fashion designs but the designs are so out of reach for these middle and low income families that they have to resort to making their own.
This manifested into childhood uniforms, primarily from the 90s, like all-denim looks that transformed into DIY-esque proportions. One of the HBA's biggest coups is being on the frontier of what is increasingly an important and almost seismic shift in fashion: genderless fashion. Here, nearly the entire collection could easily be worn by any gender identity, from clinical coats to body-hugging athleticwear.

Gant's Spring/Summer 2016 presentation ran the gamut of its three labels: Originals, Rugger and Diamond G. The Swedish-owned label, with its heritage rooted in Connecticut Americana, continued that tradition but emphasized a multitude of shirts in differing patterns while the limited outerwear shown was sharp and covetable with a low-key chic factor, exactly the type of chic that the monied individuals that first made Gant a global force would want.
