Jonathan Simkhai NYFW S/S19 – Review

INSPIRED BY: A celebration of designer Jonathan Simkhai’s personal and professional journey over the past year – moving to L.A., having twins, and opening a store on the West Coast – which translated to a breezy, bohemian collection fit for the ethereal bride. String music sounded as models walked through the venue, pausing to pose in the garden-party set design.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Actress and blogger Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg’s outdoor wedding at nature resort, El Captain Canyon in California, followed by dancing by bonfires in a meadow surrounded by mountain views.
WEAR IT TO: Tie the knot with your long-time beau at sunset by the ocean at Little Beach House in Malibu.
FIRST READ: Feminine and demure bridal frocks in a soft color palette, Cohen served up midi dresses in broderie anglaise, crotchet and cotton, while off-the-shoulder fit-and-flare dresses with strategic cutouts, safari trenches, and a string of gingham separates provided a daytime option to more formal looks.
BEST LOOK: A strappy layered white mini dress with a baby doll neckline, billowy sleeves and a floor-length train, styled with lace-up booties.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Oversized wide-brim hats, tan leather belts, pastel booties and strappy heels in a checker print, and statement drop earrings.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “I can’t believe I don’t have a wedding on the calendar to wear any of these gorgeous gowns to.”
COLOR WHEEL: Lemon, black, khaki, tan, crème brûlée, powder blue, dusty pink, navy, white.
