Mischka said he wanted to capture places like
Greece and Cuban capital Havana, "the kind of places that we
didn't get to go this summer, which we would have liked to have
gone. So we went there in our mind and tried to bring our
customers there as well," said Mischka.
Because COVID-19 restrictions prevented the traditional runway
shows, the duo filmed a small portion of the completed line at a
public garden in Westbury, New York.
"It was a crazy season. There were so many starts and stops,"
said Badgley.
The designers described the collection as luxe lounge wear, with
many interchangeable pieces - including a sequin pantsuit,
terrycloth jackets, and chiffon palazzo pants.
The pair, who have been hosting shows for 33 years, said it was
difficult to replace the excitement of the traditional catwalk.
"When those lights go down and that girl struts, you know, her
stuff - that first look. You get goosebumps," said Badgley.
"It's our hope and our dream that maybe a year from now, next
September maybe, we can get back to how we used to do things."
Designer Jason Wu showed his collection on Sunday with a limited
socially distanced audience, while Tadashi Shoji debuted his
collection via a video presentation.
Fashion Week will end on Thursday, with Christian Siriano
showing his new line from his Connecticut home.
