FW23: Faceted
The timeless statement “Diamonds Are Forever,” sung by the legendary Dame Shirley Bassey, acts as the inspiration for Kevan Hall’s Fall 2023 collection—titled FACETED. Hall looks to Bassey’s 1950’s glamor and rise to stardom that defined modern ideas of beauty and sophistication. After decades of refinement, Hall's latest collection continues his brand's legacy of simplicity and impact. His gemstone palette includes emerald, sapphire, ruby, and amethyst hues that are complemented by soft crepes and deep velvets. Gold embellished tweeds nod to Parisian classics, while stepping into contemporary silhouettes with high gloss metal accents. Hand carved fur coats and matelassé carry the image of roses, and dyed threads are woven together to create unique tri-colored guipure laces. The diamond returns throughout Hall’s collection as a shadow fox poncho, cut-out evening dress, and as adorning high jewelry.
For Fall 2023, Hall achieves a prismatic effect by using crystalline fabrics to refract light into a spectrum of spectacular color.
