“For fashion houses focused on luxury, there's always a premium placed on the tactile. Fine-grade knits, supple leathers, silken blends that feel like handspun gold—these are labels that know the value of something looking and feeling divine. Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski clearly spent part of lockdown thinking about the power of touch, using materials that beg to be stroked and crafting clothes that celebrate the body.”
“Joseph Altuzarra was inspired by science fiction and real life when creating this collection, referencing Dune and the at-odds emotions he cycled through during the pandemic's various stages. The combination of both resulted in beautiful pieces that are loose and easy, but also pleasurable (the opposite of utilitarian pieces you suffer through wearing, these are delicious knits, soft leathers, and liquid-like silks you’d look forward to putting on).”
“With a consistent vision and a steady hand, Giorgio Armani has charted his label on a beautiful journey that’s rarely seen varying landscapes. Elegance, per his MO, is being remembered, not noticed, and it’s the person who wears the clothes that really counts. With all that said, he’s turned out more of what he does so very well, with fluid dresses and separates and eveningwear that sparkles, all in palette-cleansing neutrals.”
