except: Simon Miller Fall, Winter 2025/2026 - Los Angeles

 

"...Hansford's Fall/Winter 2025/2026 collection was themed around social interactions in a relaxed atmosphere, yes, akin to the pre-digital age, i.e., no smart phones, just sitting talking, in her own words, "reading a book", "dancing" and best of all, "sharing Martinis"  which are indeed one my favourite cocktails, 2nd of course to The Manhattan.  And the collection does play out within its relaxed template, with an overlay of the carnal ever present.  From glittering one piece cocktail dresses, oversized boxy jumpers, pleated ankle length skirts (very 1980s esque), modernism prints, mini dresses and, as mentioned, a subtle eros, of a possible tryst after reading a chapter of Anaïs Nin's "Delta of Venus", and sharing a Martini with your lover."
