Adolfo Sanchez’s 2017 NYFW show was a juxtaposition of luxuries. Beginning with our infinitely walkable New York City to the show’s imaginative location at Manhattan Motorcars of Chelsea, to the show itself, we were presented with a paradoxical spectacle. Elegantly gowned models stood next to luxury sports cars, as guests taking pictures idled between a matte black Rolls Royce and a yellow Ferrari. Sanchez’s silver, white and pink dresses glistened in the green and orange light of the showroom. Lace, tulle, and sequins adorned the waist-accentuating designs, and a high-neck detail added stature and poise.
Different from Sanchez’s Autumn-Winter 2015 collection, some of which is available on his website, the dresses in this season’s show were sleek and modest with column silhouettes. The intricate material dazzled in the sporty lighting and framed the formidable cars with sophistication. More than anything, the contrast in Sanchez’s show highlighted his delicate designs as the ones not to miss this NYFW.
