Show Review: Jonathan Simkhai Fall 2016 Ready-to-Wear

Hands down, Jonathan Simkhai’s Fall 2016 presentation is among one of my top three presentations this season!

Simkhai’s unadulterated sartorial talent manifests within each and every one of these dynamic looks. With a strong love for monochromatic palettes and a touch of romanticism, this New York designer has taken modern femininity to new levels.

Although the platform for this collection rests upon neutral colors and sleek silhouettes, Simkhai effortlessly manages to keep his looks fresh and unpredictable. His attention to detail is also apparent through his use of sultry features which include off-the-shoulder effects, plunging necklines and even sheer ensembles.

In addition, more “unconventional” touches were also injected into this fashionable jambalaya. Simkhai’s love affair with timeless fringe, fluted hems and plays on texture also add a bit of depth to his versatile pieces.

White/navy lace midi dresses, sleeveless turtleneck tops, tailored peplum jackets and ruffled wonders all made their way down the catwalk. And, the chic vibes continued as retro-inspired suits also made a quick cameo.

With a growing fanbase, this designer has captured the attention of fashion favorites including street style maven Shiona Turini, creative director/fashion content editor Rajni Jacques and the legendary Anna Wintour. But, despite his fashionable following, the Simkhai brand continues to evolve as an innovative power house.

The designs from this fall collection are perfect for fashionistas who crave a bit of a sculptural influence within their wardrobe. All in all, each look tells a different story yet the theme remains consistent – Simkhai proves that a simple touch of glamour can help to alter an entire look. Whether it’s a fox fur or a gold silk slip dress, the elegance that oozes from these creations is unparalleled.
