Collection Introductions:

Fall 2022

Akris

Designer Albert Kriemler and German pixel artist Reinhard Voigt collaborated to create Akris' collection by highlighting asymmetric silhouettes and colorblocking. Square patterning and chic cut-outs shape the brand's signature sleek styling. 

AGR

AGR's collection expands upon its noteworthy knitwear by incorporating puffer jackets, faux fur, denim, and cargo pants. Vibrant technicolor and mixed textured prints offer dimension to the legacy of sleek lines juxtaposed with oversized silhouettes.

Alexander McQueen

Sarah Burton took a grounded, nature-inspired approach to the latest Alexander McQueen collection by surrounding the warehouse runway with a romantic wilderness atmosphere and projecting sounds of birds chirping overhead. The theme exemplified the vibrantly colored silhouettes, dramatic gowns, and large-scale earth-inspired prints.

Christopher John Rogers

Christopher John Rogers embraces their signature sleek, mixed-media styling mixed with colorblocking, exaggerated puff sleeves, and asymmetric construction. For this collection, the designer draws inspiration from their Southern roots through the juxtaposition of bright, eye-catching patterns and contrasting prints for a refined feel.

J.W. Anderson

JW Anderson's collection boasts an abstract take on pandemic-induced life and gender bias with oversized silhouettes, side cutouts, structured asymmetric hems, and rubber and metal embellishments. Almost lacking cohesion, the individual looks are meant to evoke senses of fantasy and play. 

Reem Acra

Reem Acra's collection showcases the brand’s world-renowned glamour with intricate beading and embroidery, jacquards, and draping. Inspired by the world's gradual return to post-pandemic nightlife, the Lebanese designer's signature style is showcased with a moodier palette, evoking senses of hopefulness and excitement.

Spring 2023

Erdem

London's British Museum was transformed into a runway for Erdem's digitally-printed, brocade-embroidered, and flowing tulle designs. Inspired by the history and art of dressmaking, the show paid respect to the passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth II on the eve of her state funeral.

Emilia Wickstead

Emilia Wickstead used Lee Miller, a correspondent for Vogue during World War II, and her body of work as the focal point for this collection. Presented from the brand's London store, the other-worldly styles offered layered and semi-sheer looks, painterly motifs, and a mixture of high-low and off-the-shoulder silhouettes.

Isabel Marant

Isabel Marant's collection flaunts an edgy boho motif that meets hard rock-inspired patchwork detailing, metallic threading, flowing asymmetric silhouettes, and strong leather. The styles are reminiscent of her early days as a designer with the resurgence of low-rise silhouettes and hints of camouflage. 

Jason Wu

Drawing inspiration from the '80s and '90s, Jason Wu Collection's runway show featured draped silhouettes, sheer tulle, studded crystal embroidery, and engineered floral prints in partnership with artist Leonardo Pucci. The scope of styles alluded to red-carpet glamour that can be translated to elevate everyday looks.

Fall 2023

Balmain

Drawing inspiration from the Balmain archives, Creative Director Olivier Rousteing referenced mid-20th-century silhouettes in an intimate banquet-inspired space to curate the ultimate homage to Paris. The sculptural runway styles speak to the legacy of Pierre Balmain by reimagining the historical tweed designs that put the French house at the forefront of fashion. 

Oscar de la Renta

Oscar de la Renta showcased their latest collection in a short film paying homage to New York City. Filled with traditional scenes of walking the busy sidewalks, hailing a cab, leaving The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and ordering slices of pizza, models strutted edgy checkered, semi-sheer styles mixed with the brand's more traditional, floral-embroidered pieces. Behind-the-scene views of the atelier show the inspiration and craftsmanship of the sequins, feathers, lace, and fringe that highlight the glamorous silhouettes.

Stella McCartney

Showcasing equestrian-inspired designs, Stella McCartney's latest runway show took place at the oldest riding school in France. Known for championing animal-free materials, the designer's looks spanned from vegetarian leather bomber jackets and pants to Fur-Free-Fur sweaters and coats. The tailored styles featured delicate tricolored plaid patterns, dramatically oversized silhouettes, asymmetric draping at the hems, and mixed screen-printed and jacquard horse prints. 

ETRO

Marco De Vincenzo's debut Etro collection balanced the label's repertoire of finely tailored, paisley-printed staples with bold, embroidered brocade detailing and dramatically layered styling. Hand-dyed cashmere, sheer silhouettes, and playful prints graced the Milan runway, a fresh take on the Italian fashion house's storied archives.

Spring 2024

Erdem

Erdem's Collection pays homage to the iconic Deborah "Debo" Cavendish, former Duchess of Devonshire. With a fusion of practical country garb, the line is complete with 1950s ball gowns, bug jewelry, and Elvis Presley-inspired pieces all while incorporating textiles and jewelry from the Duchess's personal wardrobe. Tattered fabrics and full-skirted frocks blend seamlessly with crystal-studded leather jackets, capturing the essence of the royal's unconventional yet practical style.
