Aina Beck upgrades an Oriental-inspired tunic with a bold metallic block, while Alexander Wang's cozy wool sweater incorporates iridescent geos. Helmut Lang goes for a futuristic outerwear look, mixing matte and shine panels on a longline coat.

Another play on futuristic themes, Milly by Michelle Smith opt for holographic textures on a zipped bag.

Douglas Hannant works with simple shapes to keep focus on the sheen, as sequins condense on Marc Jacob's statement button-up shirtdress. Zac Posen offers an elegant eveningwear gown with a mix of silk and chiffon.
