Polyvore X FashionNxt: Day 1 recap

Devonation's fall collection was one of the most unique shows of the night with a fresh, clean cut look that swirled minimalism and elegant fall together. It was truly something that struck the crowd with awe and mystery. 

A common trend that I saw within this collection (and for the whole show tonight), were sheer dresses and tops, along with lace decor to give it a playful edge. 
I was lucky enough to get an inside scoop from the designer himself, Devon Yan to discuss his personal goals that he achieved with this show. 

-What inspired him to make these types of designs for his fall collection?

It turns out he named the collection 'Supernatural.' He was walking down the street coming back home one day and he took in his surroundings: the leaves were changing colors, the cold wind was blowing, and the sun was going down. He got inspired by the weather and the cold air that was itching it's way into the warm atmosphere, so that's why he decided to have a minimalism theme for this year's show.

-How did he decide what material to use when creating his outfits?

Devon tries to draw sketches and gain some concept of what his theme is all about. It's a fall collection so he decided to use darker colors along with thicker pieces for outerwear like wool. He also loves sequins and chiffon, which was definitely incorporated within his clothes. 

-What's his favorite part about being a fashion designer? 

He thinks of himself more of an artist rather than a designer. Art has a type of exquisite feel that he tries to express in his clothing. He draws a lot of amazing ideas from his imagination and feelings throughout the day and brings it to life down the road.
