Naeem Khan, acquainted with Andy Warhol’s sphere, opted for a reflective approach to his brand’s 20th anniversary by pouring his energies into the FW23 collection. Merging two decades of his design DNA with contemporary influences, Khan emphasized craftsmanship.
As the successor to a textile dynasty, Khan possesses a rich palette of unique materials and skilled artisans. The FW23 collection showcased a refreshing levity in both beaded and fabric ensembles.
Feathered creations fluttered with unmatched elegance and allure. Drawing from an era of New York nightlife where dancing was central—evidenced by Pat Cleveland’s lively front-row presence—initial pieces like dresses adorned with medallions were designed for motion.
Highlights included a translucent dress adorned with beads and feathers, and an emerald mermaid dress boasting assertive shoulder designs. The collection also introduced evening separates. The audience’s palpable anticipation for luxury testified to the exquisite craftsmanship synonymous with Naeem Khan.
