So why would Sander Lak, creative director of the Sies Marjan brand, have chosen to show in the historic 1899 New York courthouse – a symbol of justice in the city?

Was it a statement about fashion as wicked and evil? No! It was surely the warm-as-toast colour of the carved wood staircase that served as a runway!https://www.instagram.com/p/B2KkiHxnwDr/?utm_source=ig_embedSander Lak is crazy for colour and has the ability to play with it like a painter daubing on a palette.

“The collection is a rejection of irony, bad taste, satire, reality TV and kitsch,” announced the designer. “It celebrates the beauty of having the time and freedom to create and consider your choices – the antithesis of rushing.”

The Sies Marjan coloration that dominated the show was about choice – not the subtle mix often seen from artists. The clean-cut coat in cherry red, with a candy-pink blouse was typical of the bold strokes – although pants and blouse with a matching belt with crocodile effects bucked the trend, bringing a scattering of painterly colours.

With the models balanced on the broad stairway for the finale, the colours looked enticing and appealing. Although it is hard to see where the designer will move forward from here – maybe he will opt for low-key clothes to offset the vivid colours.

Or as he put it: “I have a desire for the beauty of wealth and time, but never in excess,” the designer said. “Strolling over running. And quality over quantity.”
