For Fall 2020, Narciso Rodriguez presented an intriguing and exquisite collection, much in line with the brand’s DNA. His eye for subtle yet contrasting details, cuts and materials made for a very sellable collection that is bound to excite fashionistas and fashion editors alike. His color palette was simple with colors of the season mixed with classic black and white and a few prints. The silhouettes varied from sleek to easy-to-wear and with a little twist to almost every style. The collection featured many stand out style such as the short-sleeved coat with cape effect at the back, and the camel draped dress and trousers styled with a burgundy jacket. Pieces like the black dress with blush details at the sides and front along with the fitted black dress with visible seams and mesh back were exquisite. Another showstopper was the black-draped fitted dress over a pair of black trousers. The many subtle details added a little extra to each of his styles and made for a very beautiful collection that is bound to do well. At first sight, the collection might not have the greatest appeal, however, at a second glance, it is absolutely exquisite, intriguing and feminine.
