This season, the designer drew inspiration from writer John Donne, who was the poet of James I in the late 15th century. There were striped breeches, wizard-sleeve shirts, power blazers with skirted hems, cinched corsets, and two pieces emblazoned with ceiling cornices and gilded frames. “John Donne understood that when we get dressed we ask something of the world,” the show notes read. “All clothes speak: they say desire me, or oh ignore me, or endow my words with greater seriousness than you would were I not wearing this hat.” Elsewhere, the designer megamixed pansied-sleeve corsets and tavern wench scarf dresses with hoodies, crystal-encrusted boots, and stirrupped-lingerie.
