@voguerunway #Review Yigal Azrouël did things a little differently this season. Instead of a runway show or a presentation, he showcased his Fall 2019 collection with a video installation titled Reflection. He wanted to lift the curtain on his design process and shine a light on the way that he works. The film captures him in action: fitting the model in the garments in front of a mirror, then having her walk back and forth while he studies the movement, the angles, and the proportions both on the model herself and in her reflection. This footage was projected in three frames on the giant white wall of a gallery space in Chelsea. In the corner of the room was also a full-length floor mirror, which reflected the movement happening on the wall. Azrouël’s exhibition and installation will be open to the public until February 27. He hopes that visitors, including the reviewers and buyers who passed through the space this week and saw the actual garments hanging on several racks, will gain an appreciation for the craftsmanship behind his designs. In his own words, “the process is always more interesting for me than the end result.” For Fall, the end result was also interesting. The cool pinstripe sweatsuit in sumptuous cashmere looked just as cool and comfortable in real life as it did in the video. Same goes for the thick cable-knit sweaters and the orange-and-eggplant-checked coat and matching trousers. Azrouël’s dresses were quite nice, too, especially a houndstooth-print frock with lace detailing at the shoulders. This season, like every season, really, Azrouël’s designs speak to a certain woman who wants to live her life in an unfussy, beautiful wardrobe, one that’s thoughtfully tailored and fits her like a glove. This all comes not from a single reference or a key source of inspiration, but instead, from Azrouël’s inherent process. And that has always been, and continues to be, the allure of his label.
