New York - Fashion Week puts spring in your step

Legendary designer Carolina Herrera, style mogul Tommy Hilfiger, actress Katie Holmes and young upstart Mathieu Mirano took wildly divergent paths with their spring 2014 collections at New York Fashion Week.

Herrera, 74, who dressed Jacqueline Kennedy and created daughter Caroline Kennedy’s wedding gown, whipped up optical illusions using black-and-white stripes and geometric prints with pink and orange accents.

Mirano, 22, who made a splash dressing Lady Gaga in paper and who says Katy Perry may soon wear his next surprise, went full throttle with metallic gold python bustier dresses and dramatically sheer frocks and pants.

Venezuelan-born Herrera said at her show on Monday that the collection was inspired by the Kinetic Art movement, which uses optical illusions to make works appear to vibrate.

Holmes & Yang, a small line by actress Katie Holmes and stylist Jeanne Yang, featured daytime frocks, sundresses, camisoles, a dress-and-coat set, a menswear-inspired jacket and trousers, pencil skirt and gowns — enough for a perfect closet.

The looks were sweet and simple, a little hardened at the edges. Holms and Yang said they “toughed up” their delicate pieces.

Tommy Hilfiger was all about sand, surf and sun — complete with a boardwalk for the runway, sand dunes and the music of the Beach Boys.

The collection sported colors from saturated oranges, reds and teals to ocean-washed blues and sun-kissed apricots and salmons.
