A lot of designers speak about wanting to design intimate, personal clothing. But with Joseph Altuzarra’s fall collection, it was the real deal.
He was inspired by a box of clothing he excavated from his grandmother, Jenette Wei, now 89, who sounds like she is one glamorous lady. Originally from China, she immigrated to San Francisco in the Forties, and by the Fifties had been named Miss Chinatown.
A beautifully cut, portrait collar coatdress opened the show, adding some serious sex appeal to the season’s tailoring conversation. A cream-colored, melange tweed skirt suit with Altuzurra’s signature slit skirt also looked great, the blazer with exposed darting to emphasize the human touch. A more traditionally masculine gray melange tweed pantsuit with wide, low-set lapels on the jacket was classic but special.
