NEW YORK, United States — The leaders of New York's 'new guard' are bicoastal now, but that hasn't stopped Zoe Latta (L.A) and Mike Eckhaus (New York) from mutually lamenting the status quo — in fact, they've even found themselves telepathically sketching identical garments from either sides of a nation in turmoil.
It's safe to say that Trump has positively mobilised the pair and for the better, with a collection rippling with new ideas: from the button-off padded 'baby blanket' skirts to a shift dress cut in a dead stock jacquard over-printed with thumbnail research images and naive drawings.
Backstage, Eckhaus was quick to point out that outerwear has never been their forte, a point they rectified here with boxy printed fleece parkas and bright, squared blazers, yet it was the season's patchwork and distressed cut-and-sew sweaters that stole the show. They've developed as somewhat of a signature but this season Collier Schorr modelled one of the best: the ominous message 'Is This What You Wanted' knit into its very fabric.
