For fall, the Rachel Comey women took a cue from the 60s. She pulled her hair back, slicked on a flick of black eyeliner and grew into a more polished version of herself. "She is streamlined," Comey, pictured above, said backstage after her show. "She's little more dressed up, and I think more busy and industrious."

Short, boxy jackets were paired with pants, cropped just right at the ankle, with a loose leg that curved up the body and ending in a high waist. Sweaters were belted over skirts grazing mid calf. In a palette dominated by black and white, bursts of orange and pink were sunny surprises. To close the show, there was a series of LBDs for every occasion.  

The collection also represented Comey's enduring love of textiles through texture. Laminate was used for straps on a dress and as backs of shoes. Full-skirted leather dresses looked light and fluid. Cotton and felt were laser cut into a polka dot pattern. Silver metallics and a navy and gold brocade added richness.

The standout print was an abstract photo-collage she did with the artist, and friend, Hannah Hoch that featured a black and white portrait layered and abstracted with geometric blocks of color and spilled across the front of skirts.

As for the famed shoes, slippers and sneakers with brother creeper platforms, mid-calf boots with wide shafts and her wooden heels were paired with what Comey calls, 'foot accessories.' These were socks made from filament yarn, a collaboration with Hansel from Basel. They appeared see-through except for decorative black dots clustered at the toe and lines of black around the ankle and down the heel.

With her brand headed towards a more polished look, could a red carpet Oscar gown be in her future? "We did get a request from Meryl Streep. She wanted me to design a gown for her for something and I was extremely flattered that she even knew who I was."
