#NYFW: Tadashi Shoji Spring/Summer 2017

by John Stolen September 12, 2016

Disclaimer: I’m 100% biased toward Tadashi Shoji – the man is a design genius and can’t help but create beauty, it seems. Given his historical knack for perfection, there are zero surprises that the SS17 collection is impeccable. In true Shoji fashion, traditional silhouettes are enhanced with unique embellishments. You’ve got your conservative ankle length evening dress, the tunic, the pantsuit, the halter top, the bell skirts – all the basic elements but created out of sheer lace, adorned with carefully crafted embroidery and beading, fringe! All the fringe. My personal favorite is the piece with a flowing white tulle skirt, and a white bodice, the back of which is done up in a rainbow of jewel-tone sequins. Exquisite. You could call this show “Shoji and the Amazing Technicolor Sequined Bodice”, and I would buy into it.

Uri Minkoff presented his Spring 2017 collection at NYMD with a performance that comments and focuses on the elasticity of time. “I am inspired by the idea of [time] slowing down and isolating key moments” – a thought that neatly encapsulates the process of social media to date, capturing key moments, slowing them down and presenting them in an individual context.

When you think of a brand that creates effortless looks with hints of modernity for women, make sure O’2nd comes to mind. After their Fall/Winter ’16 Presentation at New York Fashion Week, O’2nd is truly making their own lane in womenswear. O’2nd is a brand that was established in New York, however, its roots lie in Seoul, South Korea. Being lead by brand director, Minsoo Chung: this collection pushed for originality and expression in bright colors. The details were truly spectacular, including using soft fabrics to mimic fur on a blouse. There was also unexpected attention on specific parts of the clothing, such as the bottom cuffs and coat collars. Their inspiration drew from the Victorian Era, with an embrace of the high-vintage theme. American artist Frank Stella’s black and white artwork was also additional inspirations that made subtle details into the clothing, especially with the cut-out shirt contrasts.
