If anything made us want to skip past Fall and Winter and go straight into Spring and Summer, it was Margaux Minutolo’s Chasing Sunsets show last night. The founder and creative director of KARMA for a Cure presented her New York Fashion Week show last night at Pier 81, and on a boat no less.

Inspired by the sunsets of St. Tropez, St. Barths, Bermuda, Ibiza, and Capri, Minutolo’s designs were nothing short of airy and beautiful. Maintaining a neutral color palette, the looks featured deep cuts and fun add-ons to favorite resort looks, like hoods on rompers and head scarves we can pair with long, flowing kimonos. The show was perfectly curated, the runway spanning the boat’s floor, starting at sunset, and ending with a nightly cruise showcasing the best views of Manhattan. Accompanied by a live band, the evening was an amazing success for the designer and her attendees.

​KARMA for a Cure donates 10 percent of proceeds to cancer research and environmental causes in honor of Minutolo’s father Freddy, who passed away in 2015 after battling cancer for 13 years. Freddy’s deep love for nature, particularly the ocean, continues to inspire Minutolo and, ultimately, her fans.
