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!
