Frederick Anderson Fall 2022 Ready-to-Wear

Re-emergence dressing has been the recent story of fashion—even if our own return to normal life has gotten off to a strange start. Frederick Anderson’s fall 2022 collection is certainly one destined for going out, with miniskirts, backless dresses, and enough sheer paneling to make even the hottest of Hot Girl Summer practitioners blush. But the big lesson of re-emergence style is that we take one idea from WFH and make it work for IRL. The arrestingly high stilettos felt out of step here, as did some of the more scandalous silhouettes. Anderson’s breezy tweed suiting and knit midi-dresses felt more like how the well-dressed women in his front row might want to look post-2021; ditto for the knit sweaters trimmed in ruffles or pom-poms. Ease has become the name of the game this season, when Anderson loosened up his tailoring and gave his models a little more coverage their struts felt more in step with fashion’s return-to-normal look.
