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. His inspo: Watts Towers in LA, a complex of structural steel sculptures encrusted with mosaic. That wasn’t the only West Coast presence in the room. Sitting in the frow was Kylie Jenner, and it’s no wonder—this collection will fit right in with some of her Balmain Fall ’16 pieces.
