Gary Graham F/W 10.11 New York

By Alison Baenen

"I love things that look like they were once something else," Gary Graham said a few days before his show. And so Fall had a well-worn and repurposed look; even the shoes, cloven-hoof heels (designed to give the models maximum height during a stage-less presentation), were assembled from bits of flotsam and jetsam lying about in the studio.

The needlepoint tapestry on one sharp Victorian-ish coat looked like a remnant of an old couch—a good thing. Even better was a beat-up and cropped leather cape with a surprisingly sweet, soft shape, worn over a silk jersey top and a miniskirt. In addition to repurposing, Graham likes multipurposing: What was termed a "skirt top" in the liner notes turned out to be a flimsy georgette piece that could be worn as a dress, a shirt, or a skirt. Many of the looks were expertly layered with skirts and dresses peeking out below alpaca Indian cloth cardigans or boiled-wool coats. Amid all the harder fabrics and the raw tailoring, a beaded black tulle dress struck a poignant note of delicacy.

I love his use of texture, color and proportion here. It all works so well together. The layering is really lovely too. The menswear is very simplistic but it looks great, imo. Very easy. Thanks for posting Scott!

i can see his confidence growing. glad to see he is getting more recognition. there is a fine tuning of his essence finally coming through full throttle.

Unique draping... I particularly like a couple of the dresses.

i don't know the colors are from middle east pattern or neoclassicism painting ?
but some of the clothes are really cool, tailoring is good and the drapings are beautiful
i totally will wear all of them, but pieces are not matched quite right in some looks

Good work! I really like the volumes and proportions of the silhouettes. There are items I'd definitely like to own!
