An opening white look has been prevalent at a number of shows in New York, but at J. Mendel, the snow white-fur coat, worn with white Manolo Blahnik booties, set the tone for the rest of the collection: uptown elegance meets downtown chic. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, in the front row, certainly seemed happy. Inspired by a Vogue fashion story shot by Helmut Newtown at the Sagrada Famili cathedral in Barelona, Mendel’s collection was a beautiful meld of translucency—at times a bit risqué give the see-thru nature of the floor-length sheer pleated dresses. To help hide all the transparency, a series of coats were a testament to his ethos; but if you get one thing from Mendel for fall, let it be one of his solid coats. Might I suggest his nip-waisted paneled shearling coat?

How apropos the fluidity and dancer-like qualities in Gilles Mendel’s spring J. Mendel collection given the Lincoln Center show venue—right in the heart of performing arts central (not to mention home base for the New York City Ballet, whose costumes Mendel designed this past spring). The balletic qualities emerged via a pale palette of short dresses and skirts with leotard tops that loosely skimmed the body—all the while beautifully giving the alluring effect of floating on a cloud. Aside from a pop of bright color here and there, the chiffon-heavy collection benefited from the delicate tiny shrugs, boleros and vests—in Tibetan lamb or shadow fox mounted on tulle—that was the ideal spring touch.
