Nanushka Fall 2020 Ready-to-Wear

“Bourgeois grunge” was the headline at Sandra Sandor’s hybrid presentation/show for Nanushka, the young brand that counts north of 350,000 followers and fans including Kaia Gerber. During Paris Fashion Week, the young supermodel appeared on the brand’s Instagram wearing a vegan leather blazer from Nanushka’s resort collection as she dashed from one backstage to the next. (Matthias Geerts also appears wearing the Hide jacket). On the subject of vegan leather—worked variously for fall in glossy, fluid trousers, jackets, shoes, and a new knot bag — the designer explained that her leather is half faux, and half recycled, and regenerated from scraps thanks to a special technology. “It’s a great alternative to virgin resources,” she noted, adding that using faux leather in this way has just one-third the impact of real leather. One of the most compelling looks was a mixed-material trench, made of regenerated leather spliced together with tweed made from GRS-certified post-consumer polyester. Fully 52% of this collection is sustainably produced, Sandor added.
