NY Fashion Week 2024: Interior expert shares the trends inspired by the runway fashion

If you’re a keen follower of the latest interior and fashion trends, you might have noticed that the two overlap. From quiet luxury to leopard print, the trend cycles of both industries work close together to form the hottest trends of the season.

With 2,400 average monthly searches for ‘New York Fashion Week’1, it seems many eagerly await to see the next major players in fashion. 

With New York Fashion Week running from 6th September – 11th September, interior trends expert at Tapi Carpets & Floors, from Johanna Constantinou shares the top fashion trends from the week. Whether it’s equestrian or fringe making waves on the runway, this is the home décor inspiration you need.

1. Fringe 

A prominent takeaway from Proenza Schouler’s Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection is fringes. The collection signalled a change of season, with a minimalist aesthetic and frayed organza skirts.

Incorporating fringes into your interiors is a fun way to add texture to your space. Add throw pillows with fringed edges to couches, chairs, or beds for a cosy, laid-back vibe. Look for pillows in different colours and fabrics (like velvet or linen) to match your style. Opt for contrasting fringes to make them stand out or go monochrome for a subtle touch. 

You can also use fringed area rugs to give a room an artisanal or ethnic vibe. Many woven or hand-knotted rugs feature fringe on the edges, adding texture and detail to the floor. Go for large, fringed rugs in natural fibres like jute or wool for a rustic or Scandinavian feel, or brightly patterned options for a more boho-chic look.

2. Equestrian 

Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2025 show directed an equestrian theme. The iconic designer showcased western-inspired pieces for the show, from pinstripe shirts to a dash of crochet. Adding equestrian elements into your home creates a sophisticated and timeless aesthetic, combining elements of country chic and vintage elegance. Use textiles inspired by equestrian culture, like tartan, plaid, or leather, to channel the timeless appeal of British countryside or riding culture. To further this aesthetic, look for throw blankets or cushions in earthy tones with horse motifs. Choose fabrics in rich tones like deep browns, hunter greens, and burgundies for a warm, equestrian-inspired colour palette.

Choosing deep, rustic tones in engineered wood can resemble the rich, weathered floors often found in stables, giving a further nod to the equestrian aesthetic.

3. 80s silhouettes 

Sandy Liang’s Spring 2025 show was deeply influenced by spy girls, updating her signature uniform styles. The corporate-inspired collection showcased fitted silhouettes, from the puff sleeves to the satin fabrics. 

The 1980s were characterized by daring shapes, vibrant colours, and eclectic styles. Black-and-white, along with high-contrast colour combinations, were a staple in 80s design. You can integrate this through your flooring, walls, and even furniture upholstery. Consider checkerboard floors or monochrome rugs, combined with vibrant accent pieces like neon-coloured cushions or art pieces.

4. Nautical 

Tommy Hilfiger paraded a strong nautical theme for SS25, set on a vessel. The collection featured plaids and cable knit sweaters.

The foundation of a nautical theme is a classic colour palette of blue, white, and neutrals. Accent colours such as navy, light blue, and seafoam green can add further depth to the palette. For example, add textiles in soft whites and mix in navy blue or light turquoise for accents, such as throw pillows or rugs. Blend in natural fibres like sisal, and wicker to reflect beachside materials. These textures evoke the raw, unpolished look of maritime life. To further compliment the nautical theming, use woven baskets, or rattan furniture to add texture to the space. 

5. Jacquard fabrics

At Area’s tenth anniversary, their underlining theme mirrored a caveman-like quality, showing an evolution through fashion history. One key theme which will be big in the interior’s space, is jacquard fabrics.

Add jacquard fabric in tablecloths, runners, and placemats for an elegant dining experience. The intricate patterns and sheen, commonly found in jacquard fabrics, can elevate a table setting. To create seasonal aesthetics for the upcoming Christmas season, consider opting for a jacquard table runner with metallic thread detailing to add a touch of luxury to your dinner setting.

Jacquard can be mixed with other patterned fabrics for a rich, layered look. When mixing patterns, ensure there is a common colour scheme to keep the design cohesive. For example, combine striped or floral jacquard fabrics with solid linens or velvets for an inviting look.
