Richie Tenembaum would be proud.

Lacoste channeled the tennis prodigy, played by Luke Wilson in the 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums, for its fall/winter 2015 collection that mixed casually sophisticated sportswear with the elegance of long camel coats -- not to mention a few of those iconic striped headbands.

'The collection is built around a "chic" that does not take itself seriously,' explained designer Felipe Oliveria Baptista.

Take a swing! Lacoste designer Felipe Oliveria Baptista explained that his collection is built around a 'chic that does not take itself too seriously'

Inspiration: A few of the looks showcased on the red carpet were near identical to that favored by tennis-mad Royal Tenenbaums character Richie, played by actor Luke Wilson (pictured)

Black and white: The designer's sporty chic collection included a number of sleek, yet casual, monochrome designs

Inspired by the past, namely the casual refinement of the Thirties, and the graphic and colorful Seventies, Mr Baptista created a contemporary wardrobe for those who like to watch or play tennis. You don't have to hit the court to wear these clothes.

A tennis dress worn under an oversize coat, a striped club blazer, or a V-neck cricket sweater-turned-dress would enable any girl to pull off the always coveted 'casual chic' on a Saturday afternoon.

With functionality and versatility at the collection's core, Mr Baptista even went so far as to tackle the tracksuit, reimagining it in jersey, nylon and silk. Think of it as 'cosmopolitan comfort,' he said.

Similarly, sweaters and coats featured sleeves which can unfasten to free your arms, and draping dresses transform according to the wearer's whim.

DION LEE

This may have been Australian designer Dion Lee's fourth runway show in New York, but he still prefers to look homeward for inspiration.

For his fall/winter 2015 collection, Mr Lee took ocean waves and fish netting to new heights with laser-cut leather and fabric folding silk - all in a palette of deep sea emerald.

'Wearing these clothes would be the closet thing to becoming an actual mermaid short of growing scales,' quipped an editor at Milk Made, where the New York Fashion Week show was held.

Unique patterns: Many of Mr Lee's designs featured quirky laser-cut embellishments, which added an interesting layer to each ensemble

Bright light: The Aussie designer also featured a series of crisp, clean all-white designs

JILL STUART

Jill Stuart sent shiny pleather separates, luxurious fur coats and mixed prints down the runway for her fall/winter 2015 collection.

Girls star Zosia Mamet was in the front row as the models presented Ms Stuart's designs, which paid homage to the rock ‘n’ roll style of the 1960s and 1970s.

Among the standout pieces, was a pair of shiny pleather burgundy trousers, which were paired with a denim-blue leather jacket, and a black leather but-out dress that was belted at the model’s waist.

NOON BY NOOR

Noon by Noor designers Shaikha Noor Al Khalifa and Shaikha Haya Al Khalifa presented a collection of structured, yet feminine designs. The clean, crisp cuts were given a futuristic edge courtesy of monochrome embellishments and bright silver metallics.

Long-time Noon by Noor fan Coco Rocha was seated on the front row, alongside style icon Olivia Palermo, to watch the models showcase a series of clean-cut, modern designs, which were interspersed with a number of more feminine flourishes in the form of soft, flowing dresses and delicate prints.

In among the striking metallic and monochrome, there were also several splashes of deep purple, in the form of an embellished trouser suit and a long beaded blazer.

MARA HOFFMAN

The designer, who is known for her prints, created looks featuring uneven triangular shapes, wide blocked stripes and Aztec-inspired patterns.

In contrast to the series of prints that were sent down the runway, Ms Hoffman also designed various cream monochromatic looks.
