Here is the second and the last part of what I like from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York F/W 2014/2015. Some collections got more inspiring pieces, looks than others (some none); some more sellable than others...well the fashion week in New York is the fashion event where you can see most sellable fashion collections among of all fashion weeks; very commercially oriented collections with good design.
