Day One of New York Fashion Week kicked off with a bang! Libertine, a luxury read- to- wear brand unveiled their F/W24 collections for men and women. With lines stretching down the block full of industry professionals and influencers trying to get into the Starrett-Lehigh, I knew it was going to be good! When I finally got upstairs it was packed with some of EVERYBODY! Designer Thom Browne was spotted and there was lots of jockeying to speak to him and get a photo.
Creative Designer Johnson Hartig did not disappoint. The collection was filled with luxurious details. The runway was a washed in sequin, colorful flowers, black and white checkered pants and veiled headbands. Also incorporated into this collection is our favorite, the embellishment trend. Vibrant colors, lively prints and crystal embroidery reigned supreme.
Drawing inspiration through deep hypnosis creatives Jean Cocteau, Mary Quant, Peggy Guggenheim and Lord Bryon emerged! The designer says, “Peggy Guggenheim emerged three times, suggesting a strong kinship between them while expressing a desire to wear Libertine and jazz it up a bit”.
Embellished blazers and Graphic prints are what the brand is known for and allows the wearer to go from daytime to nighttime in the same look! Make sure to check out the Libertine X Le Sport Sac Pop-up Shop at Bergdorf Goodman.
