Josie Natori: Modern, structural, voluminous—to put it plainly, Josie Natori’s Fall 2014 offerings were large and in charge. Natori’s women were more powerful, commanding, and edgier than ever before. She played with layers, stacking monochromatic separates like tailored tunics over cropped trousers. New fabric technologies like outerwear in thick bonded wool and hand-cut 3D embellishment allowed for more structural shapes and provided a polished finishing touch. Natori’s inspiration, the romantic idea of folkloric Russia, became apparent thanks to ornate motifs, opulent embellishment, and shocking crimson hues. Accessories also took a cue from Russian fashion history as seen in laser cut headscarves and snug fur hoods. Venue-wise, Natori opted for the DiMenna Center for Classical Music. “I’m a pianist and on the board of the Orchestra of St Luke’s. This is our headquarters where the orchestra does rehearsal,” said Natori of her connection with the space. “I just felt like it’s the perfect venue for me because what we do at Natori is approach design in an artful way, everything is like a work of art.” Indeed!
