Kate Spade's signature garden party feel was evident in her spring/summer 2015 presentation, which included hats, visors, and wicker purses shaped like all sorts of insects and animals.

J. Crew
J. Crew managed to once again strike the perfect balance of masculinity, quirk and preppiness in their spring/summer collection. (So basically creative director Jenna Lyon's personal style communicated into a mass-retail clothing line.) This season's looks focused on oversize denim and chambray pieces, pajama-style striped shirts and fine woven mesh.
Price Range: $50-$400

BCBG Max Azria
Free flowing silk and chiffon dresses in muted pastels and dainty florals ruled the runway at BCBG Max Azria. (Cue us daydreaming of outdoor weddings and candlelit dinners.) But quilted jackets and structured sashes added weight to ensembles and anchored the lighter-than-air looks.
Price Range: $200-$400

ZAC Zac Posen
Zac Posen's lower-priced line, ZAC Zac Posen, was one for the record books this season in one big respect -- we'd wear every single item in our everyday lives. Posen's brightly colored separates and tailored pieces work for every occasion from date night to the office. That ombre leather jacket is at the top of our wishlist.
Price Range: $500-$1,500

Marc by Marc Jacobs
Marc by Marc Jacobs designer Luella Bartley unofficially labeled the fashions seen at their New York Fashion Week show as "hard-core idealism." The graphic tees, latex fabrics and punk rock layering techniques weren't all our cup of tea, but there were more simple, elegant pieces dispersed throughout the collection -- our favorite of which were some of the more structured black and white pieces.
Price Range: $150-$500
We love fashion week and all the sneak peeks of gorgeous designer clothing that come with it, but the truth is, most of us can't afford runway looks. We've compiled a list of the most affordable designers who showed at New York Fashion Week and our favorite looks from each fashion week show that we could splurge for here and there. Here, twelve designers whose spring/summer 2015 collections are topping our wishlists.
