Head Manor went lighter on traditional tailoring this season, when he drew inspiration from antique bed linens, their forms, and embellishments (think embroidery and lace) for his gender-fluid collection.
A sprinkling of soft, dreamy pieces for fall 2022 was a harbinger of things to come.
Sent down the runway was a large white cotton, rectangular-shaped shirt with wide ecru, pocketed cargo pants with an eyelet design. A huge beige knitted sweater over a long white cotton shirt, peeking out from below like a frilly skirt, overlapped the light brown trousers.
He described the clothing as having “a strong contrast between the front and the back, and achieving this two-dimensional look”. That was exactly the case, as Menor parted out some of the clothing, often leaving the models’ backs bare, and layered them to create volume, basically a nod to her previous season’s fashions.
“Proportion is about the removal of class, gender, status, whatever,” said Mener, who maintained that it isn’t really about being feminine or masculine.
Along with the repetition of sheets, spoons hanging from models’ ears—and other random household elements—were used to interesting effect. ,[They’re] clothes that look like you just collected or found, and put on [them] On my own,” Menor said.
It can happen, but in an artistic way.
