TFW diary: Mikhael Kale and Mark Fast’s unlikely pairing
Last night, pre-fashion week continued with the unlikely pairing of Mikhael Kale and London-based Mark Fast taking over an even unlikelier spot: the new and un-finished Trump International. And we mean unfinished… we were even given hardhats upon entry! Opting to collaborate after meeting in Toronto last summer, the two designers showed their fall collections after a short panel discussion lead by Jeanne Beker. Similar only in their penchants for sex appeal, Kale opted for heavily slit skin-baring silk dresses adorned (and adorned) with floral appliques while Fast was busy leaving his signature webby dresses in the dust. A selection from the pieces he showed in London last month, Fast’s experiments with leather⎯in collaboration with Danier⎯and merino wool were truly sights for sore eyes.
