Fashion Week Diary: Cushnie et Ochs Shows Us What Really Happens Backstage

September 15, 2015

We have to confess, we felt very close to our Spring 2016 collection. It’s one of our best examples of combining the hard and soft aspects of our lives together. Showing it at New York Fashion Week among so many talented designers was just the icing on the cake for us. We still have to pinch ourselves because we get to live out our dream every day. As guest editors for theFashionSpot this month, we’ve compiled a behind-the-scenes Fashion Week diary just for you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Cushnie et Ochs seamlessly combines bold sensuality with raw feminine attitude that is confidently understated and luxuriously modern. Designers Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs have an inherent understanding of the female body that informs their body contouring silhouettes while celebrating the women who wear them. This definitive aesthetic has gained them the 2009 Ecco Domani award, and has made them Finalists for the 2011 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund and Nominees for the 2013 CFDA Swarovski Award. Their dresses have become a favorite on the red carpet, dressing an array of women from Reese Witherspoon and Rihanna to the First Lady Michelle Obama.

The collection is sold in more than 100 stores worldwide and supports domestic manufacturing in New York City.
