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.
