NYFW: Jonathan Simkhai Fall/Winter 2019

On Saturday evening, Jonathan Simkhai presented his Fall/Winter 2019 collection amongst a lighted installation at New York's Industria Studios.

24 models in a rainbow of hues, from rose pink to marigold and denim blue, were dressed in a collection full of knits, lace and headscarf-inspired prints.

Inspired by his maternal grandmother's life in Ukraine, as well as her traditional garb, the designer elaborated on how this familial inspiration was reflected in his latest collection.

"The concept of the headscarf is used throughout this fall winter collection and within our custom prints. The silhouettes this season elicit a vintage spirit while equally exuding modern appeal. The traditional headscarves are incorporated into the actual form of the dress; adding elements of innovation and allure. For this collection I spent a lot of time experimenting with new colors ways, fabrications, prints and patterns based on the palette and landscapes seen in Odessa."

While it's hard to narrow down our favorite looks from this collection (we would've happily worn any of the looks right off the runway), the burgundy lace dress and the blue wrap dress with a headscarf-reminiscent print topped our list.
