Fresh of the heels of his recent appointment as Creative Director of Filson, Richard Chai showed a strong collection of functional, utilitarian, minimalist (for him) clothes with a '90s grunge feel that was very true to his aesthetic. Backstage, in between air-kisses with Poppy Delevigne and telling models about the after party, the designer described to us the contrast from last season: "Last season was really eclectic and colorful and a real mashup and this season I really wanted to strip everything away and get back to the idea of really accessible, approachable clothes, [but] in areally aspirational way. I didn't want to create looks just for the sake of it being a show. I really wanted to take clothes and make it things that people want to wear and look cool wearing." I think he succeeded because I did want to wear a lot of those clothes--especially the striped dresses and plaid coats. What I really loved was that it felt like a true fall collection of clothes that, head to toe, are actually practical to wear in fall and winter.
