"It’s been a minute since Mark Badgley and James
Mischka put on a proper show, and for their return to the runway, the
designers went all out. Ahead of the first looks, the stage was set with
furniture from their debut home collection. Models perched amongst the
tufted settees and gilded canopy beds, decked out in the new line of
casual (well, by their standards) Badgley Mischka sportswear. Fall is a
season of expansion for this tried-and-true New York label, and while
Badgley and Mischka are clearly thinking ahead, this season’s core
inspiration was gathered from the past.“We’re
caught between some wars right now,” Badgley said backstage. “We went
back to the time when Europe and America were between the two World
Wars.” He added, “It’s about the women living in those uncertain times
and how they used power and strength to soldier through—it resonates
today.” Perhaps this is why the pair thought that it would be an
appropriate time to introduce an easier, everyday ready-to-wear
category, though the blue velvet tracksuit, fur stoles, and embellished
sneakers hardly felt dressed down. Nonetheless, the new pieces fit well
into the Badgley Mischka woman’s wardrobe, as did the rest of their
glittering lineup." - vogue.com
