Jet setters in the fashion world saw a good number of the high-fashion model regulars on every continent they visited. However, for a new model, one who just made her debut last year, Kendall Jenner appeared on an impressive amount of catwalks for SS 2015.

We have compiled a list of our favorite runway looks. From sheer day dresses to sultry clubwear, Jenner’s effortless natural look is still our favorite. What’s your favorite?

Last year, Prada lit up the runway with bright, bold orange for their spring collection. This year, Prada’s S/S 2015 line is a horse of a different color—black, brown, and navy horses in particular. Instead of going for a blooming spring vibe, Prada apparently wanted to highlight April’s showers. Long leather coats, belted sleeved dresses, knee-highs and rain boots were at the forefront on Milan’s runway last week. Lots of layers, almost lazily thrown together adorned each model as they walked to eerie music. Though a bit gloomy, Prada used brocade and patchwork techniques that really brought each garment to life. Key elements in each Prada collection, like longer hemlines and secretary syles, were also present.

Fashion’s rising star, Stella Jean, kicked off Milan Fashion Week on September 17^th with an impressive S/S 2015 collection. Jean teamed up with United Nations agency, International Trade Centre’s Ethical Fashion Initiative, incorporating hand woven textiles made in Burkina Faso and Miali, as well as jewelry from Haiti. The collection is light, loose, and bouncy. Bell skirts are popular look from the house, but she also went with plenty of narrow full lengths. Patterns of donkeys, sugar cane, Dutch Print fish, and pictures of tap-tap buses gave a vacation-like feel to many of the looks.

The Stella Jean shoes varied from Dutch print heels to brogues to flat bootlet cut-out sandals. To end the show, a parade of models in mismatched, polka-dot, cultural, and plaid styled swimwear walked the runway.

Eila Mell, author of Project Runway, spoke to various designers during New York Fashion Week to ask who, or what, inspired their S/S 2015 collections. And as you can see, top designers don’t just look to fashion when creating their new look. Art, culture, travel and explorers of the world play a big part in giving a collection its signature nuance.

BCBG designer Max Azria stated he was inspired by artisanal rugs from ABC carpet when creating his line of pretty pastel dresses.

While the house of Tome found inspiration in the photography works of Dayanita Singh. The lightest laces and silks were used primarily, the overall line being ultra feminine.

Tadashi Shoji’s pieces were fashionable works of art, like the Ca’ d’Oro in Venice come to life. Sweeping capes and intricate patterns were sewn onto lux fabrics.

Designer Lisa Perry told Mell that artist Barnett Newman inspired the looks that were presented on the runway. Technical fabrics and innovative cuts were at play in the modern show.

And last but not least, Nicholas K took cues from Swiss explorer Isabelle Eberhardt with his earthy palette and fashion-forward outerwear.

The always vivacious Betsey Johnson brought humor, flair, drag, and even some housewives to the runway for New York City Fashion Week. She debuted her PRENUP wedding-themed collection for S/S 2015 with a mix of gowns, lingerie, and ‘80s prom ensembles. Like Betsey and her clothing, the show was playful. She chose to ditch traditional models and used a few “Real Housewives”: Camille Grammer, Cynthia Bailey, and Kristen Taekman. Betsey also incorporated same sex couples and a transgendered bride into her runway along with her Dancing With The Stars partner, Tony Dovolani. Somehow Betsey incorporates frill, lace, and metallic colors into a bold, fearless line that we can’t help but adore. See some highlights from Betsey Johnson’s flamboyant show below.

Eila Mell, Runway correspondent and author of Project Runway and New York Fashion Week, was live at the Michael Costello S/S collection presentation in New York. Mell, along with photographer David Kester, captured a sneak preview of Michael Costello’s gorgeous gowns (and crowns!).

Designer and CEO, Tory Burch showcased her S/S 2015 line at New York City’s Fashion Week. In true Tory Burch fashion, the collection bursts with bold colors and patterns, but also tones down with many neutral creams and beiges. Burch’s models strutted down the runway adorning ready-to-wear ensembles, like mod-style dresses, crisp collared shirts and easy, breezy skirts. Also on display was the designer’s shoe and bag line. Sensible, laced oxfords and flat sandals were showcased along with fun, colorful purses that would be suited for work or play.
