The Most Extra Looks That Walked The New York Fashion Week Runways

Julia Brucculieri

Another New York Fashion Week has wrapped up, leaving us with plenty of looks that will be hard to forget.

From Sept. 5 to 14, designers showcased their spring 2019 collections. There were tons of ruffles on the runways at Marc Jacobs and Rodarte, which made its return to New York after showing in Paris, an extra-large graduation cap and some sequined balaclavas that made models look like creatures from the black lagoon.

Below, check out some of the most over-the-top looks we saw on the runways. They bring extra to a whole new level:

Windowsen

Designer Sensen Lii of Windowsen was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeQZrJc5_JI" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">inspired by aliens and monsters</a> (and maybe <a href="http://coolspotters.com/accessories/gucci-fall-2018-balaclava" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gucci</a>?) for his show (part of the VFIles presentation) on Sept. 5 in Brooklyn.&nbsp;

Yufei Liu at RISD

This coat by designer Yufei Liu (from the Rhode Island School of Design) definitely falls squarely into the <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/fall-2018-trend-oversized-coats_us_5b97e065e4b0162f47315a24" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">"oversized" trend</a> box and it's anything but basic.
