Altuzarra
Designer: Joseph Altuzarra

• “It was city-slick from the first look to the last.” [ELLEuk.com]
• “It was hard to see the point of layering cropped khaki jackets over coats. Besides, the effect has been done by other designers, including Junya Watanabe. Separately, a lot of these pieces were fine, if somewhat obscured.” [On The Runway/The New York Times]
• “It was ultra-sophisticated and brilliantly cinematic (Cruella de Ville-inspired even) at Altuzarra for Autumn/Winter 2013–signalling a welcome return to roots for the young designer famed for his unforgettably risqué Edward Scissorhands and Catwoman-like creations of seasons past.” [SHOWstudio]
• “The exercise in restraint helped him find his raw essence. He’s designing the fiercest, sexiest clothes in New York, and that’s reason enough for many women to seek him out.” [Style.com]
• “The Manhattan fall runways of the city’s brightest young things seem to have been invaded by a race of Amazonian superheroines, with broad shoulders and nipped-in waists that evoke an eighties Mugler-esque vision of the comic-strip fifties. Joseph Altuzarra’s vision was a strikingly bold and beautiful take on the look, his graphic clothes—in a restrained tonal palette—an exercise in silhouette and elaborate construction.” [Vogue.com]
• “As always, at the heart of Altuzarra’s collections is the celebration of seduction and bringing a new sexiness to womenswear–and this time it was glossy and luxe.” [Vogue.com UK]
• “Call it a power play. For fall, Joseph Altuzarra said goodbye to spring’s lavish, ornamented exotica in favor of a more hard-edged version of glamour. It made for a fabulous collection.” [WWD]
