When Jonathan Cohen stepped into his role as J. Mendel’s first resident designer in September, it was crucial for him that his work not be viewed as an extension of his eponymous label. That separation couldn’t have been clearer at his debut runway show for the brand, which took place on Wednesday at the top floor of the One World Observatory in New York. “I’m not trying to do Jonathan Cohen at J. Mendel,” he told Fashionista backstage after the show. “This is a J. Mendel collection, and my job is to really go in a new direction for both myself and the J. Mendel brand. I’m looking at who the client is, who the new clients could be and where those wardrobe-building aspects could be enhanced.” Where Cohen’s eponymous brand is defined by its vibrant colors, floral prints and subversive design details, the designer’s debut J. Mendel collection homes in on the legacy brand’s penchant for craftsmanship. In fa...

While some designers study structured tailoring or intricate draping techniques, Talia Abbe taps into inflatable pool float technology. Abbe’s New York City-based namesake label T’Abbe is known for its made-to-order bubble dresses, colorful blow-up designs that come with their own miniature inflators. (Think “Bubble Boy,” but make it high fashion.) However, T’Abbe’s signature balloon-like designs represent more than just a cheerful experiment; they’re physical manifestations of Abbe’s mental health struggle. “I wanted to be able to give other people a voice and for them to know that they’re not the only people who felt [depressed],” Abbe tells Fashionista. “No one really talks about it or how brutal it is to actually feel alone and anxious all the time and confined, and so I wanted to make a space where people felt like they could talk about it.” Talia Abbe (right) at T’Abbe...
