Anything fringe. It’s a controversial trend, but one that was everywhere on the runways from Bottega Veneta to Paco Rabanne to Christian Dior. A fringe bag, skirt, coat—the options are endless.Maybe, but so were corsets, hoops, bustles, girdles…. And if some self-containment adds some levity to your social distancing, why not?Definitely! No shoe was more prevalent on the fall 2020 runways than a platform, preferably knee-high, black boot.
This season, I was most excited by the designers who are doing more with less and thinking about circularity: They’re upcycling from vintage, using recycled fibers, and designing with a garment’s end of life in mind. Marine Serre and Atlein championed upcycling in very different ways in Europe—both reported that 50% of their collections were made from upcycled materials—and in New York, we’re excited about Erin Beatty at Rentrayage, Hilary Teymour at Collina Strada, and Emily Bode.
