Sergio Hudson Fall/Winter 2021 Collection – Monochromatic Aesthetic

The luxury women’s ready-to-wear label presented garments for a glamorous runway. The opening was dynamic and to everyone’s surprise, once Sheila E. sang her signature hit “The Glamorous Life” doing a drum solo.

Already in history, Sergio Hudson’s name echoes with the ones of Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama and other powerful women he dressed.

Known for his silked outfits of slinky shapes that hug the body, Sergio Hudson presented a collection which felt like a déja-vu. For his new collection, we were expecting a little more fantasy, something like colorful patterns or other new textures he never elaborated, but it ended up being nothing but predictable.

The gradient looks from plain red to yellow, blue, purple and black and white were not very original nor impressively inspiring. The vibrant glittering texture of the garments under the spotlight of the catwalk was, however, very seducing and the cut of the arched clothes felt elegant.

Afterall, the simplicity and the monochromatic aesthetic crystalized the runway and could definitely make a great impression for a high-sleek party thanks to the sexy evening gowns. Inspired by the 80s, and by the iconic image of Diahann Carroll on her sofa in a neat comfortable white cashmere outfit, Sergio Hudson created a range of silk velvet and leather garments. “She is the quintessential well-dressed woman and that image personified luxurious American sportswear”, he highlighted.
