Marc by Marc Jacobs designer Luella Bartley unofficially labeled the fashions seen at their New York Fashion Week show as "hard-core idealism." The graphic tees, latex fabrics and punk rock layering techniques weren't all our cup of tea, but there were more simple, elegant pieces dispersed throughout the collection -- our favorite of which were some of the more structured black and white pieces.
Price Range: $150-$500

Rebecca Minkoff
Rebecca Minkoff's spring/summer collection has us dreaming up seaside vacations, complete with unruly beach waves and dinners by the shore. Minkoff's collection was mainly blue and white with touches of sea foam green and pale pink. The floppy sunhats and artfully rumpled pieces sold us with their complete effortlessness.
Price Range: $200-$400

Milly
The entire Milly collection felt sporty, sophisticated and artfully shaped, while each piece managed to look so different from the last. Splashy colors mixed with black and white. City-chic office attire mixed with sexy beach cover-ups, and everything simply worked.
Price Range: $200-$900

Tibi
The luxurious leather and suede pieces and clean aesthetic at Tibi were inspired by "the modernity of Japan" and the "craftwork from Peru." And each piece looked exquisitely and precisely made. We instantly fell for the rich, jewel-toned emerald in multiple pieces.
Price Range: $200-$700

Nanette Lepore
You could have easily labeled Nanette Lepore's spring/summer collection as resort wear and we wouldn't have argued with you. The silky pieces, slouchy bottoms and flattering swimwear pieces (the best blend of modest and sexy) are perfect for vacation.
Price Range: $250-$600
We love fashion week and all the sneak peeks of gorgeous designer clothing that come with it, but the truth is, most of us can't afford runway looks. We've compiled a list of the most affordable designers who showed at New York Fashion Week and our favorite looks from each fashion week show that we could splurge for here and there. Here, twelve designers whose spring/summer 2015 collections are topping our wishlists.
