J. Mendel's fall 2022 collection is in. See every look:
Gilles Mendel is still making pretty evening confections in his atelier uptown, but he’s decided to work at his own pace, not that of the fashion calendar. Still, he leveraged the power of that industry tool to present his latest project, J. Mendel Knitwear, at Saks’s Le Chalet restaurant.
Working with Italian artisans using recycled cashmere and a viscose derived from wood pulp, the designer has created a sophisticated and relevant collection. Mendel adapted the Deco-style chevrons he often uses as a decorative motif on embroidered dresses to cable sweaters. This simple reorientation gives a classic a lift, as does adding knit sleeves to a sturdy trench.
The most dramatic piece in the collection is a shaggy hand-knit jacket in valentine red that looks like fur, and brings Mendel full circle, after a fashion—his forebears founded J. Mendel furriers in St. Petersburg in 1870. Having used fur as if it were fabric, the designer is now doing the reverse, responsibly. Encore!
