Celebrity Life

On February 11^th, New York fashion week returned and blessed us all with the latest collections of the city’s veterans, some fresh faces and enticing guest appearances. 

Here is our picks of the most memorable shows from the day 2 of New York Fashion Week:

Jason Wu

Jason Wu reimagines fancy dress in the times of pandemic. Wu’s autumn 2022 collection draws inspiration from fashion illustrations of the 1950s; there is a sense of intimacy and individuality to every look. Tie-dyed frocks in satin play to the literality of the fall landscapes with their orange and purple palette. Slim cigarette pants appeared on the runway with satin bustiers and fluffy overskirts – a take that has reached the apex of its ubiquity during the latest couture season. Bows, ruffles and frills colour the collection with a sense of unadulterated joy and that Old-Hollywood sensualité.  

Christian Siriano

Christian Siriano’s autumn 2022 show was a true ode d’exubérance. The monochromatic collection, largely in blues – titled Victorian Matrix – is meant to challenge the very physicality and reality of garments. We start from patent-leather suits and dresses, slowly progressing to denim two-pieces and coats. With the progression of the show, the silhouettes get more formal and the colours more restrained. Siriano’s now-classic hooded gown saw itself reinvented once again as the show’s grand finale, worn by the designer’s immutable muse – Coco Rocha.

Brandon Maxwell

Cool and homey – is how one can describe Brandon Maxwell’s autumn 2022 collection. Peak-shouldered shawl necklines on dresses and bustiers are an exciting novelty this season – a new ‘it’ silhouette in the making, perhaps. Gowns, styled with oversized cable-knit sweaters, offer a slightly toned-down and more mature version of Maxwell’s sui generis brand of glamour, switching his typical vocabulary of aspiration with that of relatability. 

Kim Shui

This season, Kim Shui continues exploring the lace and lingerie-adjacent silhouettes – but – with an erotic aughts-inspired twist. The use of colourful tweed in the forms of crop-jackets and bustiers was a lighthearted Chanel reference, while the faux fur lapel details in greens and pastels read more like an homage to Raven-Symoné. Despite the collection presenting itself as ‘cute’, it still felt quite raw – unapologetic use of colour, sequin-clad lace-up pants in military green and a sheer qipao-inspired dress all emphasized the direction of choice exquisitely.

Marc Jacobs did not disappoint with his show at the Park Avenue Armory. Inspired by American icons like Jackie O, Jacobs presented a collection that was filled with clean and simple cuts. A-line dresses accented with preppy collars and oversized coats paired with Mary Jane shoes arrived with bold colours like red, silver, yellow and more.

Nepalese-American fashion designer Prabal Gurung took to the Rainbow Room in Rockefeller Center to present a dreamy and elegant collection. When one thinks of New York City style, the immediate thought is all-black, but not for Gurung. He presented a collection of eccentric eveningwear that was fused with prints, bold colours and sensuality.

Rodarte

Sisters Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte presented a gothic yet dark and romantic collection at St. Bartholomew’s Church on Park Avenue. Pulling references from 1992's Dracula, the duo re-imagined the Rodarte girl with a more goth aesthetic. Dark lips, black fringe, and cape-like looks added to the appeal of the theme while maintaining a wearable touch. The collection also saw the brand's signature looks, from wide collars, intricate beading, florals, and ruffles to complete the range.

The Row

Oversized, minimalistic, effortless and chic are just a few words that can be used to describe The Row. For Fall 2020, twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen presented a collection that proved that they are fashion veterans. Sticking to what they know best, the looks saw oversized pants, coats, blazers, layered looks, turtlenecks, oversized clutches and more. The colour palette stayed true to their brand ethos, kept at tonal and monochrome, with added pops of cobalt and brown accent detailing.

Brandon Maxwell

Taking to the American Museum of Natural History in New York, Brandon Maxwell presented his vision of Americana fashion. A bevy of tailored outwear, suits, biker jackets, leather pants and more appeared on the runway. In addition, he also presented a range of eveningwear that was completed with bandeau tops and exaggerated bows at the neck.

Tom Ford

Now fashion week did not start in New York. Instead, Tom Ford unveiled his fall 2020 collection at Milk Studios in Los Angeles California. The collection that consisted of 52 men’s and women’s ready-to-wear looks saw denim ensembles,  psychedelic prints, tailored suits, evening gowns. The final look was a completely laced wedding dress to close the show.
