GCDS NYFW SS18
Represented by BPCM.
GCDS designer Giuliano Calza obviously understands that fashion is supposed to be sexy and fun. But lest you think his expertise ends there, take a look at his New York Fashion Week collection for SS18: quite possibly our favorite collection of the season so far.
The collection presented an irreverent take on the yachting club theme: moody women dressed up for fun in a colorful aesthetic without compromising sophistication.

Anyone who’s seen Antonioni’s Blow Up (as we have) may have a predisposition to the idea that fashion should be bold, bright, and fun. Calza’s superb collection channeled the best of the mod ’60s era while incorporating the best of modern Italian fashion, from Versace to Moschino, while managing to stay true to a playful vision all his own.

Modern Japan, Europe: it was all here, skillfully reworked with tight silhouettes, beach stripes, Loony Tunes color combinations and Thom Browne-esque repeating patterns.
The result was a super-cool collection that demanded that Calza be noticed as a designer that ranks among the best of his contemporaries.

We first took note of GCDS on the cover of RNWY magazine (note choker).
But judging by its NYFW debut, GCDS is a brand we expect to be seeing for a long time.
Guests included FWO and RNWY editor-in-chief Pablo Starr.
