Natori Fall/Winter 2015 Fashion Show: A Journey To Istanbul

It’s always exciting to be invited to Josie Natori’s fashion show. This season Josie Natori presented her Fall/Winter 2015 collection at the DiMenna Center, where the setting was defined by a square floor, illuminated by outlined lights. 

Josie Natori's Fall/Winter 2015 collection took us on a journey to Istanbul, the historic crossroads where East meets West. There, Josie was inspired by fabric bazars, spice souks, brass markets, and whirling dervishes. The Fall 2015 collection reflects an explosion of art and culture felt on every ancient and modern street in this ever-dynamic city.

Josie’s newest collection featured standout chartreuse, black, white, mauve and cornflower blue colors that are blended flawlessly with an array of luxurious fabrics including silk knit, cashmere, pane velvet, felting, silk brocade, wool quilting, and rabbit furs.

The rich textures and intricate embroidery showed extravagant embellishments that create more dimension and definition. The Istanbul inspired collection also introduced new silhouettes with full skirts, blanket shawls, redefining capes, and higher necklines.

Brandon Sun Fall 2012: Fur Adorned Silent Assassins

Brandon Sun was one of my favorite designers to see this season. Although a newcomer to the tents, Brandon delivered a distinctly original and cohesive collection which was inspired by sword wielding heroines that told a tale of peaceful ferocity—“Silent Assassins.” He layered his signature luxury fur accessories with a new palette of textures which included cracked leather, cashmere-gauze, knits, chiffon and lace.

Artificial smoke was circulated around the room to create an atmosphere of mystery and drama. True to the collection’s theme of “Silent Assassins” the models looked ready to draw a sword from each of their perfectly crafted Brandon Sun looks.

As noted in the press notes Brandon Sun offers clothing to women who are today’s initiators, leaders, and innovators. These are ageless clothes that quietly define strength and pragmatism; versatility; fearlessness; freedom.
