This week, blog readers get an exclusive look at three of the top New York collections so far. 3.1 Phillip Lim utilised upcycled materials to amplify the brand values first put forward during Resort while both Tibi and Proenza Schouler honed in on the lifestyle demands faced by the modern woman with workaday comfort and practicality infusing desirable and directional pieces.
Phillip Lim
Returning to a coed format for his SS20 show, Phillip Lim focused his attention on clever tailoring experiments that introduced practical accessory detailing. Creating new hybrid pieces that invite the wearer to play with their look, detachable hoods and scarf-like attachments that wrap around the shoulders added an unconventional yet accessible element to flowing midi skirts, cutout blazers and suiting.
Tibi
Wearability with a quirky twist is a Tibi signature and this season, designer Amy Smilovic offered an inventive take on easy-wear pieces, mixing contemporary office-ready tailoring with sporty cargo pants and acid wash tees. Round shouldered blazers and softly curved trouser legs created highly contemporary silhouettes while avoiding the extreme proportions and hard lines of previous seasons.
Proenza Schouler
Bringing balance into the working wardrobes of their clientele was key for Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. Structured tailoring was softened via draping folds of fabric while strong, 80’s-inspired silhouettes were teamed with collaborative Birkenstock sandals, trainers and slouchy outerwear for maximum comfort and ease.
