NEW YORK FASHION WEEK // INSPO
Christian Siriano's fall/winter 2020 collection was of course gorgeous and a highlight of New York Fashion week for so many reasons. His structured dress boasted oversized, shapely shoulders, a trapezoid silhouette waist and long mermaid skirt, topped off with a wide-brim hat. Worn by model Coco Rocha, complete with an elaborate runway walk and her own hype person, comedian Leslie Jones. Yes! "Show em how it's done baby!"
I was inspired to pair some of my favorite looks with some of our amazing pieces. I wonder what Christian Siriano's favorite piece would be?

Ulla Johnson looked to the work of the pioneering 20th-century French architect and designer Charlotte Perriand, who believed good design made for a better life. There were also nods to 1970s-era craft obsessions: thickly crocheted knits, leather pants and belts and a couple of dresses that looked more like American quilts.

The Couture armchair is raw poetry that fuses the artisanal with the industrial. The stitches represent a topographic map and generate an organic pattern that simulates the growth of wood. The use of color gradients in the woods amplifies the effect of the layers and increases the feeling of joining two hard materials. The result is an armchair with a strong personality that fully demonstrates the artisanal process of the piece. Designed by Färg & Blanche for BD Barcelona.
