Set within the Sunken Living Room at Spring Studios, I wasn’t prepared for the Wiederhoeft Fall/Winter 2020 collection and presentation shown at New York Fashion Week.

I entered a dimly lit room with a ballerina-like model dancing in the center. She was dressed in a beautiful multi-layered, blue, tulle creation with silver sequence adorning her head, arms and calves. Feathery pom-poms dangled from her dress and floated with each graceful movement.

Surrounding her on four corners were groupings of three models each, standing in various poses and dressed in fantastical creations accessorized with delicate head pieces, and full of whimsy. A grouping of black, green, silver, and pale lavender/purple were the color palettes for the season. Each creation had such texture and detail adding depth and intrigue.

Within the “music box” sountrack playing in the background, a “cranking/turning” sound was heard at various intervals and each time, the models would strike a new pose for the audience around them, giving each of us a different perspective to explore and enjoy the creations. This is one event I will not soon forget and I look forward to seeing what the brand brings next season to NYFW.

Both male and female models walked the runway in a streetwear collection which ranged from active, urban daywear to more tailored looks.

The color palette of predominantly black, gray and white was accentuated with several looks in a blue/pink combo, along with final looks in a rich goldenrod color. Who knew that the darkness from this societal pill-popping addiction could result in such a beautiful collection with depth.

I was expecting elegant gowns and red-carpet looks — the Fall/Winter 2020, 35-look collection did not disappoint. And when the inspiration comes from the grandeur of the Palace of Versailles, the collection lived up to its grand inspiration.

There is an elegance and flow to Pamella Roland’s creations and watching the models glide down the runway enhanced each look, from the beautiful cocktail dresses to the elaborate ball gowns. From jacquard, tulle and lace, to sequins, ostrich feathers and pearls – these are just some of the beautiful elements paired with a rich color palette for a royal collection.
