Noting that he was inspired by the effortless beauty of everyday living,
Yigal Azrouël took a feminine-versus-masculine route for pre-fall.
“It’s about creating a look, not an item,” he said. Tailoring was key,
with lean structured coats and jackets, and even soft dresses featured
strong shoulders. Hemlines were longer than past seasons, with an
effortless ease best demonstrated on the drawstring-waist skirts. While
the fabrics were luxe — including an assortment of furs and cashmer e —
Azrouël kept it youthful with playful prints and layering. And if three
labels weren’t enough, for pre-fall he’s launching a small shoe
collection of sculptural pumps in exotic skins.
