This season, Maryam Nassir Zadeh was inspired by the moment when one chapter ends and another begins, aiming to create a fresh start of learning, growing and creativity. Zadeh looks to the evolution of change, and the Guggenheim Museum’s circular theater provided an ideal setting for her collection. Zadeh said she broke the group into three chapters. First was “Pure,” which was feminine and ethereal, and where she presented soft neutrals, such as a tan solid dress worn over ivory corduroy shorts. Second was a bold and colorful story. This playful portion mixed vibrant colors and rich textures such as a red/gold polyester metallic blouse and dress over purple velvet trousers. The third chapter was about confidence, with a nod to austerity expressed in a navy satin dress under a brown and gray plaid wool vest. These looks juxtaposed the tailored and the fluid, as well as the delicate and the strong — perhaps a reference to the current political environment and the fight for feminism.
