“Mining Georgia O’Keeffe’s works, the pair brought their currency of cool to archetypal items: Yolked shirting felt right paired back to elevated picnic plaids. Focus remained on the details, with tiered prints shown layered and a heavy use of ruched hemming lending the traditional motifs a still softness. Acid-trippy dyed denim pieces looked great shown with geometric and gradient knits, near-metallic velvets, and richly patterned outerwear. This was not OC’s familiar streetwear uniform. Most striking was the palette, which read like the Southwest sky. Taking a cue from the paintings of Ken Price, they leaned on an unusual but pleasing combination of pinks and greens.”

SEASON ASSISTED: Resort 2018 RTW
“As noted, this was a tale of young love. Perhaps Jonze fixed on youth as a key theme because of the rather collegiate vibe of much of the collection. There were faux sorority tees, varsity jackets, kilts, plaid flannels, duffle coats, and that old uni standby, sweats. Some of the details were hard to read onstage, but a few jumped out—the volume on a dress sleeve’s shoulder, pearl embellishment on a sweater, the slick of neon patent leather. Stanfield’s character was a rather natty dresser to start out—the kind of guy who shrugs on a blazer with his slouchy cords—but then when the bottom falls out of his relationship, he goes all track pants and hoodies. Real enough, that. Wasikowska had a more interesting arc, prodded by a pair of hedonistic friends to trade out her loose plaid dress for a sexy knit one with glittery stripes, and later, go all pill-y and ecstatic at the club in an acid-hued satin kilt. By the time the lovers reunite, Stanfield in his sweats and Wasikowska looking quite grown up and refined in a strong-shouldered pink blazer and matching leggings, the writing is on the wall: She has evolved, he has not.”
