Delpozo NYFW Spring 2018.. a stand alone collection



What can possibly be said about this collection especially after what seemed like an endless parade of clothes of the been there done that variety and then the trying to outdo and out trend anyone ilk? As I have said before Delpozo is the successful marriage of art and fashion that elevates the art and craft of fashion as well as the memory of its namesake designer.

Josep Font is blessed with an amazing archive and DNA that he speaks to and from season after season. That edge, that hardness played against softness, the construction, fabrications, color palettes, signature silhouettes and more are what provides fashion with a heavy dose of exactly that … fashion with a capital F and yes designing, yes creativity and lastly paying homage to the designer’s name on the door.

The collection is not for everyone and surely not appealing on anywhere near a mass level but for those of us who understand, have a history and love of the business of fashion this is a collection that makes 99% of NYFW pale by comparison. Font unknowingly created some of the trends we have seen hour after hour for the last week or so … it is just that he does it better and with far more distinction and he did it first. Imagine…. not a jogging pant, bomber, hoodie, loose strap or trainers in sight and yet it was just glorious.

Whether or not there is back story here is totally inconsequential and irrelevant since the clothes actually stand on their own.... some of them quite literally … but no matter as these are clothes for connoisseurs of fashion whether as spectator, retailer, collector or client. Who else holds up that mantle in today’s souk that we call fashion?

Let the images speak for themselves here and in actuality let them scream that this is what fashion is supposed to be all about!
