Family has always held an important place in Brandon Maxwell’s fashion shows, but never more than in his latest — a deeply emotional tribute to his grandmother, who has Alzheimer’s, and the prominence of family in his life and career.
Saturday night’s show in a dimly lit theater near Union Square also featured a return to the runway of supermodel Karlie Kloss, who both opened and closed the proceedings.
Unlike past shows brimming with bold colors, psychedelic patterns, blaring music and even a pink runway, Maxwell’s Fall-Winter 2022 collection featured neutral tones and warm, comforting ensembles like chunky fisherman sweaters paired with satiny long skirts and lush shawls.
