Nanushka Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear

Budapest designer Sandra Sandor debuted menswear at her Fall presentation today in a homey ’70s-inspired set, energized by live music. The context worked for her clothes, which are quite livable, combining comfort, simplicity, and function at a great price point. You might call her aesthetic minimal nomad, and there’s a straightforwardness to her designs that makes menswear a natural extension of what she does. Men were buying from the women’s collection before Sandor was designing for them. Now, she designs both collections at the same time; think more brother and sister than boy- and girlfriend. “When I look at it as a whole, I [see a] kind of fluid bond between genders. I really feel that’s where we are going, and where fashion is going—in a genderless direction,” said the designer, who titled her lineup “mystery child.” And really, who could resist a swirl of an intarsia paisley cardigan or a roomy, textured coat in pink or lilac?
