Yigal Azrouel Fall/Winter 2007/2008


“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” This could have very well been the philosophy Yigal Azrouel was abiding to when he was designing his fall/winter 2007/2008 collection. While he failed to move things forward, or at least as purely, as he succeeded in accomplishing with spring collection, he did produce a quintessential NY collection that offered, if anything, deeply alluring stuff for the metropolitan woman.

Working with a somber palette of charcoal, olive, and black, Azrouel fused elements of space-age futurism into his chiefly minimalist aesthetic. There were asymmetrical collars on wool minis, Judy Jetson-inspired tube piping and seaming, and a cocoon-like layering that seems inevitable as we look ahead.

Like some of the womenswear, his new menswear largely lacked the pureness and unfussiness of his previous efforts. Nor was it anything not readily available on the market. He fared best, in general, with his perfectly cut trousers - both cigarette thin and palazzo wide - and with pieces that highlighted the unparalleled graphicness with which he both cuts and drapes.
