This collection unveiled in New York reaffirms the label’s codes: soft curves, pale shades, and inventive fabrics. The virtuosos find their inspiration in interior architecture of the 70s, characterized by the concurrent application of noble and raw materials. The result? Lively, modern, and architectural silhouettes one after the other on the runway. Through the filter of their urban roots, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez undergo research on their materials. The juxtaposition of geometric elements and neutral tones culminates in this runway show’s strong pieces, the same sort of culmination of the quest they embarked on in their Resort collection: a black sweater with minute detailing.
Kimono sleeves give it a cool and chic look; in addition, it boasts a straight and clean-cut midsection that doesn’t mark the waist, and an unstructured line on each side of the bust that’s worked with two bands of neatly laser-cut suede. In the end, it allows the piece to take on a paradoxical fluidity. On its sand-colored reverse side, the suede’s softness contrasts with the industrious attachments while the crew neckline gives this quasi-natural piece a totally minimalist glamour. It gets all its sumptuousness from its sheer sobriety. Just like in the 70s, the duo is here attempting to bring together industry with artisanship, making for a look that’s neither retro nor futuristic. Just sheer couture.
