Within this beautiful setting were a harpist, flowers, grazing tables filled with fruit, macaron towers, cakes and other treats, and centered in the room was the display of the Christian Lacroix haute couture pieces used as inspiration.
A diverse range of models stood on an elevated, U-shaped stage set up within the back part of the ballroom. A color palette of pastels blended with a multitude of prints skillfully pieced together, were the main visual cues of the collection. Fun, flirty and feminine, this is a nineteen piece collection perfectly suited for the warmer season ahead.

It was a showcase and celebration of all facets of a woman’s life–from work and play, to family and self focus.
Composed of separates and dresses that can be easily combined in various ways, the color pallete ranged from earthy tones to vivid florals. “I wanted to design from our origins of a west meets east coast sensibility, by integrating natural elements of the earth tones, floral patterns and silhouettes,” according to Minkoff.
The presentation also included accessories ranging from handbags in bright pops of neon, to shoes with pearl and bow details, to jewelry to complete each look.
And new for this season, Minkoff introduced “Little Minkoff”–eco-friendly kid’s clothing which uses a technology to help mitigate waste, labor and packaging through a block-chain traceability system. Garments are made only when an order is placed. The collection, which ranges in children’s sizes age 4 to 12, will launch February 2020 on www.littleminkoff.com.

With a color palette that opened up the runway with pink, mauve and coral, it evolved to darker, richer tones of blue to black with golden accents. Looks were complemented with punk hair styles and floral tattoos on the chest and arms to add an edge to an overall softer and delicately laced, themed collection.
