For fall, Jill Stuart borrowed from Sixties Mod, Seventies disco and her vision of a young DJ who’s “having a blast, mixes things up and is fiercely aware of the world we live in,” said the designer backstage at her show.
This hipster is sexy and a bit rock ’n’ roll. She strolls around in micromini allover-sequined frocks, skinny pantsuits, pleather jackets, fur coats, and optic prints — all of which Stuart has done before, but this time the message was louder. Case in point: a metallic striped dress that fell to midcalf and featured leg-of-mutton sleeves, which nodded to the late Seventies but was delivered in a modern silhouette.
