\n\tPre-fall<\/a> collections are a designer\u2019s fork in the road: do you lean into fall, even if pieces are on the retail floor in the summer, or\u00a0step into the now, creating for the needs of the hottest months of the year?<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe pieces are light and airy,\u201d Daniella Kallmeyer shared, explaining that her fabrications are meant for a summer wardrobe. \u00a0\u201cI envisioned this woman as like a city girl going to India or Morocco. \u00a0Not where everybody else is going.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA Kallmeyer vacation wardrobe isn\u2019t about cutoff shorts and logo Ts; it\u2019s a languid new \u201cfoundation\u201d evolving her designs with sumptuous textures. \u201cThey\u2019re textures that you feel. It\u2019s not just textures that you see,\u201d she said of burlap-like knits with a hint of transparency, a silk dress with unfinished frayed edges or a floor-length rollneck knit dress.<\/p>\n

\n\tOver the past couple seasons she\u2019s explored bits of sportiness, which show up here in an oil slick black windbreaker with metal sewn in, giving it a rumpled yet geometric shape \u2014 and a no-brainer when packing.<\/p>\n

\n\tKallmeyer\u2019s pieces come alive on the body. The designer often speaks of gestures and the meaning they imbue in a garment, and pre-fall sees her musing around the combination of shapes, such as a tank fitted to the body worn with a fabric sash as a belt (a great styling trick seen on several looks) and wide-leg pant, or a triangle-shaped white shirtdress.<\/p>\n

\n\tSuiting and pants continue to expand with new ideas, paired with one of her artisanal belts. \u201cWe\u2019ve got such a good pants business that it becomes like a gift with purchase,\u201d she quipped. \u201cWe sell belts like crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFresh off a 2025 CFDA nomination, an experience she says was validating, she is thinking long term: \u201cI want my customers shopping a Kallmeyer wardrobe, same way that she did in Donna Karan or Calvin Klein back in the day, the same way Ralph Lauren has created a world. We\u2019re doing the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pre-fall collections are a designer\u2019s fork in the road: do you lean into fall, even if pieces are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":184835,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46,1886,91817,1530],"class_list":["post-184834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-new-york","tag-pre-fall","tag-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
