Designer Gilles Mendel incorporated his Russian roots in J. Mendel’s Fall 2014 RTW collection, with particularly gorgeous dresses and fur coats which the company has become well known for. The season’s inspiration was the ornate costumes of the Ballet Russes.
The horizontal multicolor wool coat with leather lining and red fur wrapped around the neck and pleated chiffon gowns were incredibly modern and luxurious. Graphic elements also enhanced the show, incorporating maroons and oranges to capture a bold and modern Fall style.
