Eckhaus Latta RTW Spring 2023
Sitting in a leafy Lower East Side community garden on a warm sunny September day, staring at models slipping between and out of the trees, past a softly tinkling harp.… What's not to love?
Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta created a moment of green joy at New York Fashion Week on Saturday after midday in the middle of the chaos of the city and the world.
Their clothes were fancy but wearable. A shimmering foil tie crop top over wide-leg bouclé track pants, curve-hugging ribbon-knit dresses and artful pumps with mushroom-shaped heels all had an earthy, arty elegance that marked a new high in high dressing for the brand built on jeans.
Designers have been delightfully experimental with knits, and this season have used bubble stitch in different sizes on all sorts of pieces, including a chubby tank top in celery green that looked like assemblage art, worn with a mini side slit. The long tied and fringed tight dresses and the trouser skirts were also noteworthy.
Utility players of the season were brightly colored two-tone wide leg jeans; Y2K fashionable cardigans, tank tops and minis and cutout jersey dresses like no other, slit in unexpected places to reveal the curve of the thigh or impose a cool geometry on the shoulders, as seen on the artist Martine Syms, whose presence on the catwalk says a lot about Eckhaus Latta. It's fashion and more, and it just keeps getting better.
