Skin is in as nudity takes over NYFW 2022 as top trend

exposed her bare breasts.Collina Strada boldly freed the nipple with a floral design constructed of wires and airbrushed areola that attached to a long pink chiffon dress. “Girls” star Jemima Kirke also walked the runway with a bikini top made out of flowers with the nipple area conveniently punched out.Julia Fox wore a similarly experimental “dripping wet” outfit designed by a Parsons MFA student designer, Weiran, who saved even more risque designs for the runway.At Puppets & Puppets one model was mere millimeters from a wardrobe malfunction with makeshift butterfly pasties, while Bella Hadid was a cough away from a similar fate for Fendi, which celebrated the 25th anniversary of its Baguette handbag.At Sergio Hudson and Mowalola, nip slips were part of the program, as several models purposefully bared flesh.LaQuan Smith showed a black bodysuit with cut outs and a thin string covering a model’s nipples while other looks from the designer beloved by Beyoncé and Rihanna weren’t so subtle, with completely sheer fabric and nary a bra in sight.

Jason Wu also championed see-through, a trend certainly in the zeitgeist already thanks to Florence Pugh’s heavily debated Valentino dress.Even Tory Burch, normally one for sophisticated sportswear, let the nip slip, sending models Vittoria Ceretti and Emily Ratajkowski in extraordinarily sheer knits and brassieres.

All of these body-baring looks will undoubtedly have stylists for pop stars, Kardashians and other look-at-me peacocks clamoring to wear and bare.While bras were largely ditched on the runway, plenty of street style stars and spectators skipped shirts altogether, donning just their bras at shows for shock and awe.But beyond good ole fashioned skin, it’s tough to rally.
