“I was imagining what a Kempner girl, who I like to think is very sexy, confident and glamorous, would want to wear to these parties that my grandmother would throw in the Seventies,” said Meggie Kempner of her cocktail-ready lineup. She derived the rich color palette from the interior of a smoking room, much like the one where her late grandmother Nan threw shindigs (and which she re-created at her fall presentation, complete with a piano player). Kempner mixed in a few pieces of boyish suiting, knitwear and outerwear — one coat had an exaggerated Mongolian fur collar— but feminine, sexy dress silhouettes prevailed, most of which featured a mix of chain tassels, cutouts and open-back detailing.
