Frederick Anderson Spring 2023 Ready-to-Wear

Spring sees Frederick Anderson seeking to evolve along with his customer. As the designer said backstage before his show, he believes that the well-off, Upper East Side-type of woman he dresses has changed over the last few years. She’s more progressive, less stuffy, he said, so he aimed for his clothes to reflect that while still being true to his design ethos. This rang true where he continued to explore his signature crochet knits, and where he loosened up his tailoring and evening confections with airy silks cut to elegantly sway away from the body. Where the collection felt less in service to his efforts was with the less straightforward looks. A series of floral decorations felt slightly heavy handed.
