Gabriela Hearst Fall 2021 Look 1

If there is any extra workload pressure on Gabriela Hearst these days, she certainly is not showing it. Not a tiny bit. Ahead of her Chloe debut during Paris Fashion Week early next month, the designer delivered another beautiful collection, one of her best to date. She referenced Saint Hildegard of Bingen, the medieval multi-hyphenate who believed all answers lie in the Green Power of Nature, and the flower drawings of the designer’s daughter Mia. The latter became prints and three-dimensional crocheted and knitted forms that served as appliques on gorgeous knitwear.

Hearst worked her core silhouettes – linear, elongated – to striking effect. Strict trench coats were softened with bow-like shoulder detailing; lace inserts gave knit dresses an elegant – and sensual – touch. All along, Hearst remained true to her sustainable ethos which she applied to every element of the collection and digital presentation, which featured models walking on wet grounds. Key impacts for local communities and alignments with the Sustainable Development Goals were outlined in the show notes. This is the future—and Hearst is pioneering it.
