Dion Lee has uncommonly “intellectual,” minimalist taste, and he works in a state of continual prune down phase: basic colors, streamline silhouettes, and more geometrical forms. Can you depict how surprising it was when we have discovered that the bodice that has appeared during Spring defilé has had two real pockets, worn like two mini wallets over a model’s body. The passion started pushing out consecution in his collections, and for Spring 2020, the designer has created an entirely new approach toward a painless and light version of Dion Lee.

Dion Lee’s genesis of this season was underthings, and the way it underlines and elegantly exposes parts of the female body. Leather harnesses, sometimes remindful of those from Alexandre McQueen and Helmut Lang, revealed the key message of the season, those have been used by both male and female models. Lee’s skinny tanks have always been admired by the audience, as well as his skin-tight knitwear, our favorite of which were long dark-green dresses with fringed waists and sleeves. For seldom testing with color and textures, Lee connected headscarves to spaghetti tops and dresses in deep red, which have indeed been incredibly well-received by the spectators.

Durable leather bike shorts and broad jackets gave a sleek collection of loose-cut, louche tailoring, well-defined blazers, and nightwear-inspired corsets, and bike shorts in a florid palette for SS20 September Paris Fashion Week.

Casey Cadwallader expressed his ideas of bringing his signature work categorically into the core of the Maison. From durable leather bike shorts to broad jackets made from techno fabrics emphasized with exaggerated shoulders giving enormous volumes to sleeves – Cadwallader is bringing Mugler to the audience. It’s the nerve-touching provocativeness of old Mugler in the modern days.

Since taking the lead at Mugler back in 2017, Casey Cadwallader has been the instant remedy Maison that needs to galvanize its image with new ideas. With a reputation for railing against borderlines in fashion structure via an engineered lens, Mugler carries on showing an uncommonly high quality of design and clean silhouettes, however, with the capacity to work with nowaday’s fashion. With the Spring Summer 2020 collection presented at Paris Fashion Week, Cadwallader repeats the achievements of the house’s history while breaking a new road.

It’s been two seasons since Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez came back to the NY Fashion Week from France, and the couturiers have got their vibe back. Without a doubt it has been a good deal, Hernandez said that they had locked themselves in the atelier for the whole Summer just working. Lately, he and McCollough were experimenting with couture and sportswear styles at the same time. The last collection was indeed the golden mean, compromising careful tailoring with delicate drapery.

Not without reason, the couturiers admitted they got inspired by the ladies in their studio, as some of them are currently pregnant and, thus, are aware of balancing. Hernandez and McCollough also referred to their mums. They said they still have their childhood memories of how the mothers used to get ready for work, which clarifies the 80s styles of the blazers and trousers with their forceful edges and dominant waists. 

The couturiers also started a collaboration with Birkenstock, and the sandals looked coherent with the primary collection as this looked like something that businesswomen sometimes do: as soon as they are leaving the office, they put on their comfortable shoes.

A few silk jersey styles with their many tiny pleats had the Madame Grès feel. Other garments with lavish layers of fabric descending from the waist had the bold, courageous mood of a lungi.

During his Spring 2020 show, Phillip Lim was discoursing upon his brand’s relics: community, diversity, optimism, and his achievements in putting these basic principles together, not incidentally.

Phillip Lim’s experimentations with tailoring were SS20 focal points. You wouldn’t notice an ordinary two-piece suit in his collection; there were plenty of those in this Spring season already, Lim seized the moment to build something entirely distinct for his clientele. Designer’s most alluring offer was a sleeveless, long vest with a detachable fragment embracing the shoulders, reminding a shawl going along with similar pants or a short skirt. The combo looked provocative, however, without being too peculiar for a traditional NY bureau. Phillip Lim knows in no uncertain terms which his clients are: business female working in various fields. Another example was an asymmetrical jacket with deep cutouts and a detachable hood, as well as a coat enhanced with a leather headscarf. In essence, a functional component woman will be glad to go around with.

The new collection was giving an impression of very long-running due to modern biological and reclaimed materials. Lim emphasized the organic cotton of a dark brown playsuit and the durable fabric of a blue navy mini dress. Few Spring 2020 collection garments were made of chunky satin, and in pictures, it looks almost like leather, but cupro is made of recycled cotton waste. Other materials, crafted with a particular eco intention was another essential part of the sustainability dialogue between the designer and the consumer.
