Presented at New York Fashion Week.
This collection features several colour stories and themes. From introducing new hues (such as jade green and a fluorescent shade of pink), welcoming the staying of others (sherbert pink and white), along with patchwork, embellishments, shaped red and black leathers, and a womanly lace.
In fact, this collection is perfectly described as having a patchwork identity – J.Mendel seems to have used and incorporated a little bit of everything he felt was right at the time, thus creating such a vast, non-specific set of looks. However, don't think this is a bad thing. This only ensures that Mendel is expanding on his usual super-focused designs and welcoming a much wider audience, and new loyal fans.
I loved a lot of the looks, despite the not-so-focused coherency of the collection. Here are my favourites:
