Jonathan Simkhai Spring/Summer 2017
Bodycon enthusiast Jonathan Simkhai aspired to take a more relaxed approach for Spring 2017, at least in terms of fit. Though many pieces were hyper-embroidered, silhouettes were flowy, ruffles were deconstructed, necklines plunged, and lace and silk separates in creams and whites dominated.

“Tailored silhouettes are something I’ve always focused on within my collections,” said Dion Lee at the home of Nick Minchin, Australian Consul-General, where he was celebrating the launch of SUIT, a separate 10-piece tailored suiting collection created by Lee in partnership with Woolmark.

Hood by Air Spring/Summer 2017
Shayne Oliver, our offer to take you to lunch still stands. If we learned anything from your recent New Yorker treatment, it’s that the Hood By Air collective does things entirely on their own terms.

Jill Stuart Spring/Summer 2017
“The girl is a dreamlike performer dancing in the dark, going from dress rehearsal to the stage,” said Jill Stuart on her Spring/Summer 2017 collection. “There’s a lot of layering of knitwear, chiffons, ombre’s and metallics.

Nicole Miller Spring/Summer 2017
It’s all about the journey, n’est-ce pas? RISD grad Nicole Miller is classically trained as a fine artist, so it’s no wonder that in her world, a trip to a gallery could be the starting point of a new season. A recent exhibit on Panama informed her take on Spring ’17, and the collection was

Monse Spring/Summer 2017
There was a mile-long line to get into Artbeam in Chelsea, where Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim showed their third Monse collection. Naturally, the big news—the designers are heading to Oscar de la Renta—was responsible for some of the draw, but the clothes are equally magnetic. Shirtdressing is the big idea chez Monse, and for
